Mr. Minister: It has come to the knowledge of the government that certain rebels, who these last days have resisted its authority in firing upon its troops, and who still resist, have taken refuge, they and their adherents, in the country house which you occupy at Turgean.
The government desires to know the names of these individuals, who have indeed killed this morning a soldier of one of our posts not far from your house.
I have the honor, Mr. Minister, to salute you with a very high consideration.
