Washington, May 2, 1913.
Excellency: It affords me pleasure to inform your excellency that I received last evening from the Secretary of Foreign Relations of my country a telegraphic despatch worded as follows:
Last evening there was held at Palace meeting attended by President, members of the Cabinet, President of Supreme Court, Attorney General, representatives political parties both Chambers and General Felix Díaz, presidential candidate. Meeting called by President with the object of patriotically unifying acts and policies, which was fully achieved. It was agreed to hold presidential elections October 26. President gave full account of campaign of pacification, all those present being satisfied that effective means are used to that end and filled with hope knowing General Huerta’s acknowledged competence. Important news favorably received, enthusiastically commented by the press.
