No. 438.]

Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 14th instant, in which you state that the President of Mexico, although inclined to believe that the bullets which fell in American territory during the fight at Mulata were spent balls, has ordered an investigation in order that those at fault in the matter, if there are any such, may be punished.

The Department appreciates the attitude assumed by your Government, and awaits the results of the investigation which it is now conducting.

Accept [etc.],

Huntington Wilson.
