which was received by me on th,
2Gth instant. A uote from Mont
to Blaine, though dated Jan. %, was
not delivered 10 the state depart
ment until after IL o'clock, M, OF
tue 25th aud not translated and
ts receipt notified to me until
lte In the afternoon Of that day
Response Of Mr. Perriera to our not,
Of the 81, withdraws with accep-
table expression Of regret the often
slve note Of Matta's of the II, and
also the request for the recall OF
Egan. The treatment Of the Incl
dent Of the assault upon the sailor
Of the Baltimore Is so conciliatorS
and friendly that / am of the opin
ion there IL good prospect of the
difference growing out Of that serious
affair can now be adjusted upon
terms satisfactory to this govern
ment by the usual method and
without the special powers from con-
gress. This turn OF affairs Is very
gratifying TO me as am sure 1t Will
be TO congress and 10 our people
generally. The support Of the ef
forts OF the executive to enforce the
Just and right of the nation In this
matter has given an instructive and
useful illustration of the unity and
patriotism of our people. Should 1t
be necessary / will again communi-
cate with congless upon the subject" "
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Accompanying the presidents
message is the correspondence that
has passed between the two govern
ments since the first message. The
substance of the correspondence has
been fully outlined in the Associated
Press dispatches, previously sent out.
