WASHINGTON, June 21, 1891. 
The United States Government have furnished me with a copy of 
the instructions issued to their cruizers, under the 5rd Article of the 
modus vivendi. 
Iam sending a copy of the note inclosing them to your Lordship by 
next mail. 
The following is a Summary of them: 
The * Mohic an,” the “ Thetis,” and the “ Alert,” and possibly other 
eruizers, will be employed in Behri ing’s Sea. 
The “Thetis” i is to proceed immediately to Sand Point, the rendez- 
vous of the Canadian sealers, before they enter Behring’s Sea, and dis- 
tribute copies of the President’s Proclamation, giving notice to all 
sealing-vessels, and taking a list of all vessels warned. She will pro- 
ceed to Ounalaska as soon as the Canadian catch has been transhipped 
at Sand Point, about July 1 
The “ Mohican” and “ Alert” will proceed at once to the seal islands 
and cruize two weeks in Behring’s Sea, distributing the President’s 
Proclamation, and warn all vessels found engaged in sealing to leave 
the prohibited waters immediately, recor ding, by an entry in the ves- 
sel’s log, that she has been warned. Both will then rendezvous with 
the “ Thetis” at Ounalaska, whither all persons and vessels seized are 
to be sent. <A chartered steamer will be ready at this port with a 
marine guard to assist in handing over the persons and vessels seized 
to their respective authorities. 
The United States Government would be glad to have a copy of the 
instructions which have been issued to Her Majesty’s ships detailed for 
service in Behring’s Sea.
