Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1895, Part II

Mr. Hicks to Mr. Blaine.

Legation of the United States,
Lima, Peru , October 26, 1891 . (Received November 13.)

No. 318.]

Sir: In continuation of the matter contained in my No. 304 of October 1, 1891, in regard to the claim of the Hydrographic Commission against the Government of Peru, I have to say that the Peruvian Congress has adjourned without acting upon the claim.

I have given the matter personal attention, but it was not taken up by the Congress.

The recent session of that body accomplished almost nothing in the way of business, as I have stated in my No. 317, of October 23, 1891, in this mail.

I have, etc.,

John Hicks.
