The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Portugal ( Magruder )

16. Your telegram No. 24, July 19, 1 p.m. As no public announcement has been made of the Portuguese acceptance of the President’s proposal, and as its adherence has not been communicated to this Government, I deem it unnecessary to deliver the message contained in the Department’s telegram No. 14, July 3, 2 p.m., but shall instruct you further if and when such announcement is made.
