Mr. Adee to Mr. Barrett.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 8, 1904.

Ascertain and report whether Government of Panama will entertain request for surrender as act of comity of a fugitive from the United States charged with embezzlement. While United States Government can not, until treaty becomes effective, promise reciprocity, the early ratification of treaty by our Senate will enable this Government to grant extradition.

Adee.
