The Consul at Vera Cruz (Foster) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:25 p.m.]
Conditions growing better. General Guadeloupe Sánchez has the situation well in [hand] and has requested civil authorities to continue functioning and that a reestablishment [omission]. No reprisals will be maintained [sic] with the exception of General Aguilar who will be required to resign as Governor of Vera Cruz and leave the country. He has detailed troops for the defense of Vera Cruz against attacks by rebels or bandits. Thanks to the firmness and discretion of Generals Sanchez and Medina there are no incidents of a disagreeable nature to American citizens to report. American warships mentioned in the Department’s telegram May 3, 6 [1] p.m. have not arrived and will probably not be necessary unless a change in condition should occur.
