[Telegram—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, July 18, 1913—8 a.m.

295. The Ambassador’s July 12, 11 a.m. Department has read with satisfaction that proposed anti-American demonstrations on the 11th and 12th instant were checked in their inception by the police. Any anti-American demonstrations at this time could not but be viewed with serious misgivings. The Mexican authorities should appreciate this fact, as well as the grave responsibility that would attend connivance at or indifference to anti-American agitation.
