[Translation.]

Legation of Mexico,
Washington, May 23, 1888. (Received May 24.)

Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to inform you, referring to your note of yesterday relative to the delivery to Mr. J. J. E. Lindberg, of El Paso, Texas, of certain arms and hordes taken at Janos from citizens of the United States who had entered Mexico in pursuit of robbers, that I have received a telegram from Mr. Mariscal, secretary of foreign relations of the United States of Mexico, whereby he instructs me to say to you that Mr. Lindberg will receive the arms and two of the horses that were taken, the third having died; the price of the dead animal will, however, be paid if it shall appear that he died owing to any neglect or ill-treatment on the part of those who had him in charge.

Accept, etc.,

M. Romero.
