File No. 812.512/744.

Consul General Hanna to the Secretary of State.

[Telegrams.]

Referring to mining tax modification, it appears that the Monterey collector of taxes has not yet received clear instructions as to the amount and kind of money to collect. He is not accepting payment for taxes but extension for whole of August has been made and it is hoped clear instructions from Minister of Hacienda will allow the old tax collected.
