Letter
L. Ethéart to John Mercer Langston, July 7, 1879
[Inclosure 1 in No. 179.—Translation.]
Mr. Ethéart to Mr. Langston.
Port au Prince, July 7, 1879.
Mr. Minister: Divers Haytians who took part in the insurrection at Port au Prince, on last Thursday, have found, it is said, refuge in several legations in this city.
While asking the names of those to whom you have accorded protection under your flag, I believe it my duty to inform you that the government desires, at the same time, to be advised with regard to the dispositions upon which you have determined in their behalf.
Awaiting your acquiescence in my demand, I have the honor to salute you with the high consideration which is due you.
The secretary of state of foreign affairs.
L. ETHÉART.
