The Secretary of the Treasury to the Secretary of State.

Treasury Department,
Washington, March 24, 1911.

Sir: In reply to yours of March 23, inclosing correspondence between the State Department and the Mexican Embassy relating to an alleged prohibition of the ordinary export of supplies across the Rio Grande River, I beg to confirm the explanation given over the telephone, to wit: That the Treasury Department has not prohibited such exportations, and has only enforced the regular and usual requirement that exports and imports be made through established customs ports.

Very respectfully,
