The Consul at Vera Cruz (Wood) to the Secretary of State

Department’s telegram January 23, 5 p.m. All mines have been removed from ports in question. Am informed by Mr. de la Huerta that Salina Cruz was mined by Federal authorities. He feels that it was not asking too much in view of the removal of this protection he had against an attack by the Mexican gunboat Bravo now at New Orleans to entertain the hope that said gunboat will not be allowed to leave the port of New Orleans during this conflict.
