Mr. Olney to Mr. Eustis.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, November 5, 1895.

You understand, of course, that, if practicable, Waller’s release as matter of right, or matter of grace on account of his health, without prejudice to indemnity claims, is to be requested and urged. That failing, cable of yesterday meant to inquire whether compromise suggestion of Hanotaux was available. Please act and report with all practicable expedition.

Olney
