File No. 812.00/1963.
The Mexican Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Washington, May 24, 1911.
Excellency: Confidential but authentic information has reached the embassy to the effect that the United States attorney at Los Angeles, Cal., has now received all the evidence required to institute proceedings against Ricardo Flores Magón and his confederates, principals in the many scandalous filibustering attempts organized on territory of the United States against Lower California.
Under special instructions of the department of foreign relations of my country, I have the honor to communicate the foregoing to your excellency and earnestly to beg that you be pleased to obtain from the proper quarter the necessary orders to have the judicial action in the case brought against Flores Magón and his confederates.
The repression of the adventures originated by Magón and kept up by many others which are wholly unconnected with any political disturbance or strife of that character in the Mexican Republic is sure to set a salutary example that will check the filibusters’ action.
I renew, etc.,
