Mr. Dupuy de Lôme to Mr. Olney.

[Translation.]

Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s polite note, under date of 27th instant, in which you are pleased to inform me of the falsity of the rumors of the departure of a filibustering expedition from St. Tammany Parish, La.

In giving your excellency my most sincere thanks for the investigations made,

I improve, etc.,

E. Dupuy de Lôme.
