Washington, December 31, 1910.
Excellency: Telegraphic reports from the consul of Mexico at San Antonio, Tex., have just brought me the information that there is a number of armed men between Sanderson and Del Rio, Tex., under the lead of Coliato Guerra and another rebel, both well-known as aggressors at Jiménez and Las Vacas. I am also informed that Alfonso Madero, leader of the Madero movement at San Antonio, announces that an attack on two or three border towns will be attempted on the 5th of January.
In bringing the foregoing to your excellency’s knowledge I venture to beg that you will kindly cause the necessary orders to be issued to prevent the said acts being committed in violation of the neutrality laws.
Thanking, etc.,
