Sir: I have the honor to inclose copies of my
official notes1 to the minister of foreign affairs of Peru.
I have, etc.,
Mr. Christiancy
to Mr. Yrigoyen.
Legation of the United States,
Lima, Peru, June 2, 1879.
Mr. Minister: Referring to your note of the
17th January last to my predecessor, Mr. Gibbs (No. 3), I have to
inform you that the substance of that note having been communicated
to the Secretary of State by Mr. Gibbs, and by the Department of
State to the claimants (Messrs. Sparrow, Nolan, Gait, and others), I
am now informed by a dispatch from the Secretary of State of date of
April 28, 1879, stating that a letter from the attorney for the
claimants has been received by the Department, complaining that the
financial agents of Peru in New York, referred to in Mr. Gibbs’s
dispatch, have thus far failed to comply with the orders given them
to make the contemplated payments. I am therefore instructed to
bring the matter to the attention of your Government.
Hoping that the payments may since have been made,
I have, etc.,
