Sir,

73610.

With reference to your Despatch No. 113 of the

25th. April, I have the honour to transmit a copy of the written judgment of the Magistrate in the case of the requisition by the American Authorities for the Extradition of Vicente Sotto, a copy of a minute by the Attorney-General, and a copy of a letter from the Consul-General for the United States of America.

2.

Although I entirely agree with the latter part

of paragraph 3 of the Attorney-General's minute, I do not propose to take any further action in the matter unless you instruct me to do

80.

3.

If you decide that it is desirable to take steps either by way of mandamus, by fresh proceedings before another Magistrate, or in some other way, I should be glad, if possible, to have instructions by telegraph.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Handtever

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P..
