Mr. Hirsch to Mr. Blaine.

No. 451.]

Sir: I am in receipt to-day of the following telegram from the Stamford Manufacturing Company at Alexandretta:

May 19, 1892.

American Legation, Constinople:

To-day regular permit was given. Sincere thanks.

Stamford.

I have as yet received but one letter from the company in addition to the telegraphic information which I communicated to the Department in my Nos. 441 and 443, but suppose further detailed information will arrive by mail, when copies will be promptly forwarded to the Department.

The company is now enabled to proceed with their building operations without further hindrance.

I have, etc.,

Solomon Hirsch.
