No. 212.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. Becerra.
Department of State, Washington, June 16, 1885.
Sir: Referring to your note of the 27th ultimo, touching the captured brig Ambrose Light, I have the honor to say that according to a letter of the Attorney-General, the Colombian consul at New York was asked by Mr. Root, United States attorney for the southern district of New York, to call at his office, with his witnesses, in order that he might determine whether proceedings for breach of the neutrality laws should be instituted, but up to the date of the letter of Mr. Root (9th June) he had not responded.
Accept, &c.,
T. F. BAYARD.
