Mr. Taylor to Mr. Gresham.
Madrid, June 13, 1894. (Received June 25.)
Sir: I have the honor to report that on the 10th instant, the minister of state advised me in a personal note that he desired to see me the next day at 3 o’clock in order to discuss with me certain pending matters. I met him at the time appointed and was pleased to hear from him that he had resolved to have a royal order made at once putting into immediate effect the definitive repertory executed in Spanish at Washington October 17, 1892. The result of the interview I reported to you in my cablegram of the 12th instant, a copy of which is appended on the overleaf. I was promised by the minister official notice of the making of the order, which I have not yet received. Last night I received a note from him saying that the papers had been made out and sent to the department of ultramar for execution. I hope to receive the official notice of final action to-day or to-morrow.
I am, etc.,
