§ Mr. HUNTasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is able to communicate to the House any facts respecting the action taken by the Senate of Cuba in regard to the Bill introduced into the Legislature at Havana by Senor Dolz; whether any information has been received from His Majesty's Minister in Cuba which throws light upon the proceedings of the management of the Cuban Ports Company; and whether, having regard to the importance of maintaining 2243W friendly commercial relations between this country, the West Indian Islands, and Cuba, he will lay upon the Table Papers upon this subject at an early date?
§ Sir E. GREYI have no information respecting the action of the Cuban Senate in regard to the Bill. I understand that the fullest investigation is being made by the Cuban Government into the affairs of the company, and seeing that this inquiry is now proceeding, and that the company is a Cuban one, I could hardly lay Papers with any advantage at present.
