Daniel E. Sickles to Hamilton Fish, February 12, 1873

No. 388. General Sickles to Mr. Fish.

[Telegram.—Received Feb. 12—8.20 p.m.]

All parties in Congress accept the republic. Am officially notified of new government by Castelar, minister of state, to whom I have addressed a communication assuring him of my fervent wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the noble and generous people with whom, as a sister republic, the Government of the United States will ever cherish even more than the traditional friendship which has hitherto allied the two countries.

SICKLES.
