Mr. Loomis to Mr. Snyder.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Replying to Mr. Snyder’s telegram of January 26, Mr. Loomis instructs him that this Government’s attitude remains the same since Department’s telegram of November 11a to Minister Beaupré. Nothing written or verbal to General Reyes would in any way retreat from that position. Mr. Snyder is instructed to verify origin of unfounded rumors.)
