[Inclosure 2 in No. 140.]

Mr. Pasetti to Mr. Taft.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vienna, January 15, 1884.

The imperial-royal ministry of foreign affairs has not failed to institute inquiries, after having received the esteemed note of November 16, 1883, numbered F. O. 58, the inclosures of which are herewith returned, concerning the claim of Vitus Taxacher, and now has the honor to inform the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, Mr. Alphonso Taft, that investigations show that the above named, after a sojourn of five years in the United States of America, has acquired his citizenship there in the year 1881, a fact which was unknown to the imperial-royal authorities at the time they enrolled him in the army; that in consequence thereof, and in conformity with Articles I and II of the treaty of September 20, 1870 (R. G. B. No. 74, ex. 1881), he has been discharged from the ranks of the imperial-royal army.

The undersigned avails himself, &c.,

M. PASETTI.
