No. 535.]

Excellency: Through the department of foreign relations of my country I have received information to the effect that the Mexican rebel, Abraham González, has been for over a month preparing a revolutionary movement in the town of Presidio, Tex., and that some days ago he went over to the township of Ojinaga, Chihuahua, with 400 men, frequently going back to Presidio and Shafter, Tex., where he is endeavoring to procure more men and ammunition.

I have the honor to bring the foregoing to your excellency’s knowledge, and to beg that you may be pleased to use your good offices to the end that the authorities concerned will take the necessary steps as provided by law to prevent violations of the neutrality laws.

Thanking, etc.

F. L. de la Barra.
