File No. 812.00/751.
The Mexican Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
The Mexican Embassy learns from a telegram from the department of foreign affairs that several cases containing artillery have been sent from Del Rio, Tex., to Marathon Station, whence they are to be shipped to Mexico, and as this information may serve as basis for instructions to the Government agents of the United States charged with the enforcement of neutrality laws, the embassy respectfully informs the Department of State of the matter, requesting that appropriate instructions be given to prevent the delivery of these elements of war to enemies of order in the Mexican Republic, in a manner which, more or less openly, violates the laws of neutrality.
Washington, February 4, 1911.
