Mr. Cambon to Mr. Day.
Washington, August 20, 1898.
Mr. Secretary of State: In response to the wish which I had the honor to express to you verbally, you did me the favor, on the 19th of this month, to transmit to me, for the archives of my embassy, a copy of the protocol signed on the 12th of August, of the powers conferred upon the Secretary of State to sign this instrument, and of the proclamation suspending hostilities issued by the President of the United States on the same day.
I have the honor to thank you for the transmission of these documents, and I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you, Mr. Secretary of State, the assurances of my very high consideration.
