Mr. Bayard to Mr. Becerra.
Washington, May 11, 1885.
Sir: I have the honor to lay before you the text of a telegram of the 11th instant, addressed by the United States district attorney at New York to the Hon. A. H. Garland, Attorney-General, by whose direction it has been sent hither. Mr. Root’s telegram reads as follows:
Master of Claribel states that he will sail to-morrow for Jamaica with general cargo, including about two tons war munitions, which are to be transshipped for Corn Island, consignee not known. Vessel not under charter to any one person; no other facts known to me. I see no grounds for interference.
Accept, &c.,
