Sir: Referring to my dispatch No. 1868, of the 18th instant, concerning the dispute in the island of Hainan over the choice of a mission site, I have the honor to report that the viceroy has consented to the selection of such a site in cooperation with the missionaries.
I have expressed to the U. S. consul at Canton a hope that this consent will be availed of to bring this dispute to a termination.
I have, etc.,
Chas. Denby, Jr.
