Mexico, February 23, 1913—6 p.m.
31. I have the honor to report that on the 21st instant I sent the following telegram to all consular officers in Mexico:
Provisional Government installed yesterday with General Huerta as President. General public approval of Congress in this city, which is perfectly quiet; reassuring reports come from other places. President Madero is a prisoner awaiting the decision of the Congress in his case. Senate and Chamber of Deputies in full accord with new administration. You should make this intelligence public, and in the interest of Mexico urge general submission and adhesion to the new Government, which will be recognized by all foreign governments to-day.
