Mr. Hale to Mr. Thomas.

Department of State,
Washington, September 26, 1872.

No. 8.]

Sir: Your dispatch No. 2, under date of July 26, relating to recent political disturbances in Peru, has been received.

The indignation of the people of Peru at a cruel assassination and an attempted usurpation and overthrow of a representative government commands admiration, and their calm return to order gives promise of a stable condition of public affairs.

Your reply to the circular-note of Doctor Caso’s is approved.

I am, &c,

CHARLES HALE,
Acting Secretary.
