No. 590.]

Sir: Referring to my dispatches numbered 503 and 507, on the subject of the royal order on judicial procedure, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. Silvela has communicated to me a copy of a note addressed to him by Mr. Cánovas del Castillo, officially advising him that the protocol of January 12, 1877, was transmitted on the 8th of April last by the presidency of the council to the ministries of grace and justice, war, marine, and ultramar.

The minister of ultramar told me some time since that the protocol was immediately communicated by royal order to the governors-general of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.

Translation of the communication of the president of the council to the minister of state is hereto appended.

I have, &c.,

A. AUGUSTUS ADEE.
