Your cipher telegram, November 20, 1 p.m. [a.m.],96 I believe answered in my telegram of November 20, 6 p.m.97
Following notice sent to Americans tonight:
“Citizens of the United States of America and under the protection of the United States of America who continue to remain in this consular district during the present disturbed conditions should and do understand that they do so at their own risk and on their own responsibility.
This Consulate General is liable to be closed at any time. In such a contingency, it is believed that it would not be practicable to give previous notice of this fact.”
British Consulate General has issued notice of similar tenor.
