The Acting Secretary of State to the American Consul at Douglas.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Vice Consul Bowman reports that it is feared insurrectionists will attack Nogales. If that seems likely communicate to him the substance of the Department’s September 12, 8 p.m., to you, telling him to make the instructions therein applicable to himself and to the situation in Nogales in the same way that they are applicable to you and the situation at Aguaprieta.
