American Legation,

No. 40.]

Sir: Without any intention to raise a mooted question I have the honor to request instructions for my guidance in regard to the American citizens residing in the Isle of Pines. I should like to know if the department considers that the position of Americans settled in that island differs from that of other Americans settled elsewhere in the Republic of Cuba, and if they are to be held as entitled to any special rights and privileges.

I have, etc.,

John B. Jackson.
