Morgan to Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, March 25, 1884
No. 250. Mr. Morgan to Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Legation of the United States, Mexico, March 25, 1884. (Received April 10.)
No. 775.]
Sir: I transmit herewith a copy and translation of Señor Fernandez’ note to me of the 23d instant (received to-day) in answer to mine to him of the 8th December, 1883, relating to the claim against the Government of Mexico by the owners of the schooner Daylight, sunk by a Mexican national vessel in the harbor of Tampico.
Señor Fernandez is of the opinion that the owners of the Daylight must first present their claim to the department of war and marine, and, in case that department does not satisfy them, to the courts, and that diplomatic intervention in the matter cannot be admitted, except in case of a denial of justice by the tribunals of the country.
I am, &c.,
P. H. MORGAN.
