The Chargé in Ethiopia ( Engert ) to the Secretary of State

129. My 125, October 12, noon. In view of Italian Minister’s condition the Emperor has decided to permit him to remain until the expected consular agent arrives which should be in a few days. Vinci and his Military Attaché occupy a house which was put at their disposal on October 12th.

I cannot speak too highly of the police protection afforded him throughout this deplorable incident and the consideration and dignity with which he has been treated by the authorities.
