Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress, December 4, 1893

Mr. Uhl to Señor Romero.

Department of State,
Washington, November 28, 1893.

Sir: I have to say in further reference to your note of the 17th instant, that, as I learn by a telegram of 24th instant referred to me by the Secretary of War on the 25th, the commanding officer of the troops at San Antonio, Tex., is “of opinion that no armed party has crossed into Mexico from the United States at any point in the vicinity of El Paso,” and adds that “Col. Lazelle is now in control of matters at that point, from whom a report is expected very soon as to the expediency of returning the cavalry to its post.”

Accept, etc.,

Edwin E. Uhl,
Acting Secretary.
