The Governor of Coahuila to the President.
[Telegram.]
Eagle Pass,
February 26, 1913.
The Mexican Nation condemns the villainous coup-d’-état which deprived Mexico of her constitutional rulers by cowardly assassination, but is aware that its institutions are alive and is disposed to sustain them. I am certain that both the Government of Your Excellency as well as that of your successor will not accept the spurious government which Huerta is attempting to establish upon crime and treason, but will proceed with circumspection towards the social and political interests of our country.
V. Carranza.
