WASHINGTON, July 27.-The officials
of the state department are at present
anxiously awaiting information from
Ambassador Eus&is as to the manner
in which the second demand for the
record of the Waller court-martial,
which was held in Tamatave, has been
received in France. 1t is now learned
definitely that the French government
refused to furnish the record upon the
first presentation of the request, and
that this refusal was met on the part
of the state department by a more
positive and pressing demand for all
the papers. The department is in
formed by Mr. Eustis that this demand
has been presented. There has been
quite sufficient time for reply, but
none has been received. The course
of the French in their refusal to sup
ply the record is considered most un-
usual, and as no explanation was
vouchsafed the department is at a loss
to know upon what grounds it was
based
