The Secretary of State to the Mexican Chargé d’Affaires.
Washington, April 3, 1911.
Sir: Referring to the Department’s note No. 446, of the 28th ultimo, on the subject of the probable need of the Mexican Government to pass, by way of Presidio, Tex., some supplies intended for Gen. Luque, who was then at Ojinaga, Chihuahua, I have the honor to inform you that the Department is in receipt of a telegram, dated the 30th ultimo, from the Secretary of the Treasury, in which he states that he has instructed the collector of customs at Eagle Pass, Tex., by telegraph, to permit ordinary supplies to cross the river into Mexico at a ford outside the port of Presidio, Tex., under the supervision of an American customs officer and under the collector’s official direction. The collector was further instructed to take action immediately and to inform the Treasury Department definitely what he did.
