Secret.

My secret despatch of 28th May, returns of munitions.

United States authorities have now asked whether actual or

approximate numbers of arms rather than merely numbers of

cases can be stated.

Please inform United States Consul-

General that this is understood to meet wishes of his Govern

ment and subject to any comments he has to offer please revise

form of return accompanying both for United States Consul- General and for despatch to me.
