96. The Department’s March 8, 6 p.m. Hostetter’s telegram was handed in substance to this Government. I have been sending to the President and the Minister of War every day the substance of all consular telegrams which seemed of value to the Government in restoring order. The Department’s telegram precisely reflects my views and I have been following a policy identical therewith.
