[Memorandum—Translation.]
The Government of Mexico has received advices to the effect that a group of 200 insurgents crossed near Presidio, Tex., and is now at Ojinaga, Mexico.
In view thereof and of the certainty that these men will be utterly routed by the federal troops, the Government of Mexico takes the liberty of suggesting the advisability of having forces stationed at Presidio, Tex., by the American Government, both to prevent other groups from crossing and to arrest those who would seek a refuge in the United States in their flight from the forces of the Government of Mexico.
