Department of State,
Washington, December 20, 1911.
No. 89.]

Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 15th instant, which has been translated as follows:

The Mexican ambassador greets sincerely the honorable Mr. Huntington Wilson, and notifies him that, fulfilling instructions from the department of foreign relations, he informs him that it is known that at Cajones, San Diego County, Cal., there exists a revolutionary junta, preparing an invasion of Lower California, and that Basilio Ramos is concealing arms. In asking him to be pleased to interpose the good offices of that honorable department, in order to avert said attempt at invasion, he reiterates the assurances of his most distinguished consideration.

In reply, I beg to state that I have taken pleasure in communicating the contents of your telegram to the Department of Justice for its information and appropriate action.

Accept, etc.,

P. C. Knox.
