The Secretary of State to the Consul at Geneva (Gilbert)
31. For Reber. Following telegram just received from Mr. Mitchell which you may use in your discretion:
“12, January 27, 2 p.m. Additional evidences of continued depredations on Kru coast resulting in loss of life, burning of towns, et cetera, constantly reach the Legation. Recent advices of chiefs refute evidence to be given at Geneva regarding their satisfaction with the present government. British Chargé d’Affaires also making representation to his government that all statements should be verified as to accuracy. Continued strife means great loss to Kru tribe if reports are correct.”
