[Inclosure 3 in No. 12.—Translation.]
Señor Otin to Mr. Williams.
Legation of Spain, Peking, November 21, 1873.
M. le Chargé d’Affaires and dear Colleague: I have the honor to transmti to yon herewith the bases agreed upon by the Tsuugli Yamun and the legation of Spain for a definitive arrangement of our differences upon the subject of Chinese emigration under contract to the island of Cuba.
The kind mediation which you have already had the goodness to extend to us, with a view to reconciliation, now encourages me to solicit the cooperation of your experience in the conference of arbitration which is to give solution to this matter, and to beg you to obtain from Cuba, in such manner as you may deem proper, all the information which shall seem to you calculated to throw light upon this question.
Be pleased to accept, &c.,
- F. OTIN.
- Mr. S. Wells Williams, Chargé d’Affaires of the United States, &c.
