General Tanis accepts the proposition., March 15, 1878
[Inclosure 7 in No. 40.—Translation.]
General Tanis accepts the proposition.
I accept the proposition to retire, myself and my companions, under the protection of the representatives of the foreign powers, on the condition that those soldiers and officers who are now in the fort, and who have only obeyed the orders of their chief, will be at liberty to return to their homes, and that I, together with my comrades, may be allowed to seek shelter under proper protection.
Port au Prince, March 15, 1878.
L. TANIS, aîné.
