Mr. Hovey to Mr. Seward.
Sir: I have been positively informed that Mr. Antonio Millan left Peru on the last steamer for New York for the purpose of bringing out a cargo of negroes from the United States to this country. I fully concur in the views expressed in your order to prevent the immigration of that race to Peru; their condition would certainly not be improved, and they would share the fate of the coolies, who are now meeting with very harsh treatment in some localities.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
