673. Your despatch 3384, May 22.40 The Department wishes you to take every suitable opportunity to stress to the Chilean authorities the importance of placing the batteries in a condition of maximum efficiency without delay. Both this matériel and the personnel attached to it were furnished at considerable sacrifice in view of other urgent demands. Please inform the Department of any steps which you may take in this matter to which the War and Navy Departments attach the very greatest importance.
