Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1895, Part I

Mr. Eustis to Mr. Olney.¹

[Telegram.]

Paris, February 6, 1896.

Your telegrams of 4th and 5th received. I called upon minister for foreign affairs, to whom I stated that am authorized to accept Waller’s release on terms offered, and handed him a formal note to that effect. He promised to see his colleagues and President at once. He anticipates no difficulty and assures me that Waller will be released within a week; the formalities of release require action of several departments. Will telegraph you when advised.

Eustis
