No. 235.
Señor Romero to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

[Translation.]

Mr. Secretary: I have the honor herewith to transmit to you, for your information, a copy of a telegram which I have received from the secretary of foreign relations of the United States of Mexico, bearing date of May 11, whereby, as you will see, he informs me that the Senate has authorized the Executive to permit the crossing of troops on the basis proposed to the representative of the United States in November, 1880.

I will thank you to inform me whether this basis is acceptable to the United States Government, that I may in turn inform the Government of Mexico.

I have, &c.,

M. ROMERO.
