File No. 312.11/998.
The American Chargé d’Affaires to the Secretary of State.
Mexico, November 27, 1912—12 noon.
The spread of anti-American feeling is especially noticeable in the failure to take prompt and adequate measures in the increasing number of cases of minor Mexican officials guilty of offenses against American citizens or their property. The momentarily heightened prestige of the Government due to the Vera Cruz incident may account for this feeling; the idea seems to prevail that it is less dangerous than it was to annoy Americans. The President is informing people that he is delighted with the election of Mr. Wilson as President of the United States.
I am to-day transmitting to the Department a long note from the Mexican Government replying to this Embassy’s note of September 15.
