Mr. Hay to Mr. Beaupré.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, July 13, 1903.

Neither of the proposed amendments mentioned in your telegram^a received to-day would stand any chance of acceptance by the Senate of the United States, while any amendment whatever or unnecessary delay in the ratification of the treaty would greatly imperil its consummation.

Hay.
