Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress, December 4, 1893

Mr. Wharton to Señor Cayetano Romero.

Department of State,
Washington, February 25, 1893.

My Dear Mr. Romero: I beg to say that a letter has been received from the War Department, of date the 23d instant, from which it appears that on the 18th of this month “15 bandit prisoners and 4 others who surrendered” were brought to Fort Ringgold by Capt. Bourke, U. S. Army. A telegram of 18th instant (communicated in the above), from Gen. Wheaton expresses a hope “to be able soon to report the capture of all the San Ignacio murderers.”

I am, etc.

William F. Wharton,
Acting Secretary.
