Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 5, 1898

Mr. Moore to Mr. Draper.

Department of State,
Washington, August 1, 1898.

My Dear Mr. Draper:

I have acknowledged officially to-day, to Mr. Iddings, your dispatch No. 237, of June 22 last, touching the desire of the Italian Government that the order of May 27 last, to the United States consul at Naples, in reference to emigrant inspections be extended to our consulates at Genoa and Palermo, and have told him that the consul general at Rome was instructed by telegraph, on the 27th ultimo, to go to Naples and investigate the matter of the inspection of emigrants. This telegram has been followed by an instruction by mail directing the consul general to visit also the other consulates in Italy and to make an investigation of the inspection of emigrants at those points as well as a general investigation of the consulates.

I advise you of this, knowing your interest in the matter.

Very truly, yours,

J. B. Moore.
Acting Secretary.
