File No. 812.00/520.

The Acting Attorney General to the Secretary of State.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th instant,1 inclosing to me translations of two memoranda left at your department by the Mexican ambassador, together with copies of your replies thereto.

In this connection I may state that general instructions have been given to the United States officers in the western District of Texas and in Los Angeles, Cal., for the arrest of Francisco I. Madero.

I shall, of course, be very glad to receive a statement of any evidence which the Mexican Government may have tending to show violation of the neutrality laws in this country by Madero.

The information relating to the activity of certain persons connected with the Regeneración has been brought to the attention of officers of this department at Los Angeles.

Respectfully,

J. A. Fowler.
