File No. 812.00/586.
The Mexican Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Washington, December 23, 1910.
Excellency: I have the honor to inform your excellency that I have just received a telegram from the department of foreign relations [Page 379] of my country informing me that armed insurgents are now crossing from El Paso to Ciudad Juárez in spite of the prohibitive order issued on the subject by this Government.
As this implies violation of the neutrality laws by individuals who cross the boundary line in arms with the deliberate intention to foment revolt in a friendly country, I ask that your excellency be pleased to renew by wire the necessary orders to the local authorities having knowledge of the matter, so as to prevent the commission of the acts above referred to.
Thanking [etc.],
