File No. 812.00/812.
The Mexican Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
The department of foreign relations of Mexico hears that when employees of the Mexican Government, threatened by individuals who under political pretenses have disturbed the peace in the northern part of Lower California, went over to Calexico the commanding military officer at that place caused them to be disarmed.
Under special instructions from the Government the embassy has the honor to address the Department of State and communicates the fact to it, without any purpose other than to ask very respectfully that it may be pleased to interpose its good offices so that, as far as permissible under the law, the American authorities will show to the employees of Mexico the consideration that their self-respect requires.
