The American Consul at Ciudad Juárez to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department’s June 19, 2 p.m. No Federal troops approaching Juárez. Governor of Texas probably misinformed. Mexican consul [Page 885] El Paso assures me no movement contemplated at present for retaking Juárez. Personal observations confirm this.
