Mr. Minister: Referring to the correspondence between your location and this department with reference to the application for a pardon made by your excellency’s Government in favor of Capt. George Caleb, I have the honor to transmit to your excellency herewith a copy of a report, under date of the day before yesterday from the department of justice, which gives the reasons for declining to accede to said application.
This department regrets that the serious reasons given by the ministsr of justice in his report prevents the realization of the earnest desire which the President entertained to pardon Captain Caleb and thus to comply with the wishes of the United States Government.
I renew, &c.,
JOSÉ FERNANDEZ.
