The Chargé in Liberia (Reber) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 26—3:20 p.m.]
109. I saw President King today who promised to discuss the question of funds for the continuance sanitary campaign with the Secretary of the Treasury and give me his reply within two days. He has verbally given me his assurance that Dr. Smith will be granted the authority necessary to carry on his work when money is available. The President seemed anxious to gain time to formulate an answer, pending a Cabinet meeting this afternoon.
It is understood this meeting was called to discuss an answer to the last letter from the Fiscal Agents.
