File No. 812.00/744.
The Mexican Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Although the Mexican Embassy appreciates that there is a strict vigilance being exercised along the border to prevent violation of the neutrality laws on the part of the Mexican revolutionists who may organize in this country, in order to facilitate the steps of the American Government the embassy informs the Department that at Eagle Pass, Tex., it is planned to-day to give expression to sympathy [Page 402] with the revolutionists with a view to collecting funds, buying arms and ammunition, and gathering together men to stir up disorder in Mexico. As the participants will, no doubt, commit acts involving violation of the neutrality laws, the embassy believes that the Department of State will issue by telegraph the appropriate directions for frustrating the purpose of the Eagle Pass agitators, which purposes are nothing less than to violate the neutrality laws.
