[Telegram]
Port au Prince,

[Received 6 p.m.]
[Received 6 p.m.]
Minister for Foreign Affairs called to ask if, in eventuality mentioned in my April 26, 3 p.m.1 at conclusion of war the great powers would intervene in favor of admission of Haiti to the peace congress, stating that an affirmative reply would enable the Government to win over certain opposition which the bureaus of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies report to be existing in the National Assembly. Respectfully urge early reply.
