Señor Romero to Mr. Gresham.
New York, April 28, 1893.(Received May 4.)
Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to inform you that I have received a note from Señor Mariscal, secretary of foreign affairs of the Government of the United States of Mexico, dated City of Mexico, the 13th instant, which incloses a complaint from the collector of customs on the frontier at Camargo, Tamaulipas, that a colored soldier of the Army of the United States of America, on two different days, the 8th and 9th instants, fired several times on the sentry box of that custom-house.
I request that you will be kind enough to collect the real details of this affair, and should the facts prove to be such as have been communicated to the Government of Mexico, I do not doubt that that of the United States will commit the responsible party to the proper judge and put an end the abuse.
Accept, etc.,
