The Mexican Ambassador to the Acting Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Translation.]

I have just received telegram from Department of Foreign Relations of my country which says it is urgent for General Sanjinés at Ojinaga to receive as soon as possible arms and ammunition that are [Page 756] now detained at Marfa, Tex., so that he may make prompt and vigorous preparations for any emergency.
