Mr. Rico to Mr. Dichman.
United States of Colombia, Department of the Interior and Foreign Relations, Bogota, June 10, 1879.
Referring to the communication of your honor of the 3d instant, I have the honor to bring to your knowledge that the government of the State of Tolima, which was called upon by the executive power in order that the collection of the so-called war-tax should be suspended, in so far as it affected citizens or subjects of other nations, has communicated by telegraph that the decree concerning the assessment of said tax levied upon the foreign houses at Ambalema had been reconsidered, and that it had been resolved to suspend the same and to lay the matter before the next legislative assembly at its next meeting for a suitable determination thereof.
I avail myself, &c
LUIS CARLOS RICO.
