The Consul at Seville (Bay) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 12—8:34 a.m.]
Local press today publishes communiqué regarding text of notes exchanged by Great Britain and government at Salamanca establishing relations between the two governments by means of agents and sub-agents who were enjoying official protection and freedom from censorship of official correspondence as well as right to communicate by code. Respective agents will have direct access to the Foreign Relations Departments of each government. Functions of sub-agent are similar to consular duties.
Indications are that these and other facilities which hitherto have been extended to our consular officers in this territory will be abridged.
