Mr. Uhl to Señor Romero.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 17th instant, and to say that I hastened to bring to the attention of the Secretary of War the telegraphic report which you communicate relative to the alleged assemblage of armed men at San Elizario, Tex., and thereabouts, having designs on the peace of Mexico. I have since received your note of the 19th instant, stating that as you learn from your Government an actual invasion of the Territory of Mexico had already been made by the bandits assembled at the place named, I have accordingly, at once, brought the matter to the notice of the Secretary of War and the Attorney-General.

Accept, etc.,

Edwin F. Uhl,
Acting Secretary.
