The Mexican Chargé d’Affaires to the Secretary of State.

The embassy of Mexico has the honor to ask that the Department of State be pleased, if it sees no objection thereto, to recommend to the authorities concerned that the victuals bought in the United States for the town of Ojinaga, Chihuahua, where Gen. Don Gonzalo Luque is in military command, be allowed to go over the new ford that has been opened between Presidio, Tex., and the said town of Chihuahua, by reason of the present circumstances.
