SIR : In continuation of my note of the 20th of October regarding 

 the Newfoundland fishery question, I have now the honor to inform 

 you that I have received from the governor of Newfoundland a tele- 

 gram which seems to dispose of one important part of that question. 



His excellency telegraphs that no Newfoundland officer is prevent- 

 ing American vessels from fishing on the treaty coast, and that no 

 distinction is being drawn between registered vessels and licensed 

 vessels. 



The local officers have been told that American captains must not 

 engage crews on the Newfoundland coast to fish for them, but no ob- 

 jection is made to their using the nets themselves. 

 I have, etc., 



H. M. DURAND. 



The Secretary of State to the British Ambassador.
