Mr. Cox to Mr. Bayard.

No. 44.]

Sir: Your dispatch No. 31, dated October 15, is at hand, and in answer thereto I have the honor to state that no further information has reached this legation in reference to the expulsion of the Lubrowsky brothers from Palestine, on account of their religious belief.

Owing to the prompt action of Mr. Heap, which you commend, I trust that this particular case is concluded, and hope that no more cases of the kind may call for our action.

I have, &c.,

S. S. COX.
