 The Department has received your telegram of March 6, 1899. with regard to the Palestine ques- ton.
 You may be assured that this government is giving constant att tention to all phases of the situa- ton concerning Palestine, as evil denced by the public statement issued by the department on that subject, a copy of which is en- closed.

You may be assured that we shall continue to give full and ap- pripriate consideration to the di- verse factors involved in the Pal- estine problem.
 Sincerely yours,
