§ MR. A. PEASEasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether his attention has been called to a communication in the "Standard" newspaper of the 9th instant, from its correspondent at Madrid, showing that the provisions of the "Moret" (Emancipation) Law are being extensively evaded in Cuba; and, whether, considering that this information is widely at variance with the brief report from Her Majesty's Consul in Cuba, recently presented to Parliament, Her Majesty's Government will obtain a more extended and detailed report not only from the Consul at Havana, but from the Vice Consuls in the other districts of the Island?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe Consul General, who has returned 827 to his post from leave of absence, will be instructed to send a full Report, and to supplement it, as far as possible, by Reports from the Vice Consuls.
