[Inclosure G.—Translation.]
Mr. Jastram to Mr. Luvieux.
United States Commercial Agency, Saint Marc, March 20, 1872.
I, the undersigned, vice-commercial agent of the United States, residing at Saint Marc, declare that I protest in the most energetic manner, in the name of the American flag, against the insult that has been offered to me in taking by armed force General Batraville, aîné, who voluntarily placed himself under the protection of the said flag.
After this insult I hold myself subject to the orders of the United States minister resident at Port au Prince.
G. JASTRAM.
