Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 6, 1904

Mr. Hay to Mr. Leishman.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, December 16, 1903.

(Mr. Hay informs Mr. Leishman that Admiral Cotton has been instructed to convey Consul Davis to Alexandretta when he desires to go. Regrets demanded should be explicit, but not humiliating, and apology by the governor and the punishment of the offending police may be accepted as sufficient.)
