I regret to inform your excellency that the prefect of Callao has just announced to me Admiral Collins died yesterday at 9.45 p.m. In bringing this sad news to your excellency’s knowledge, I take occasion to inform you that measures have been taken by the minister of marine, in order that such honors as befit his high rank may be paid to the departed admiral at the funeral, which is to take place to-morrow, in pursuance of arrangements made by the American consulate at Callao. I avail myself of this sad occasion to reiterate to your excellency the assurances of my distinguished consideration and esteem.
A. V. de la TORRE.
