Secretary of State Hay received President Roosevelt’s instructions to appoint Mr. Ames as consul in Ghent, Belgium. However, Senator Foraker requested the position for a friend. Since they will need Foraker’s support, Hay suggests that Foraker’s candidate receive Ghent and Ames be appointed to Antigua. Ames can receive a more appropriate position later. Hay is pleased with the British negotiations and thinks Ambassador Choate has shown ability and tact.
