[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, May 15, 1914, 5 p.m.

State to local authorities that Department is informed that some American citizens who have been forced by recent disturbed conditions to leave vicinity of Tampico own leases on property that vicinity on which rentals are coming due very soon which cannot be paid now because of conditions prevailing and that it is expected that the authorities will perceive the justice of taking no action in forfeiture of leases until owners have had reasonable time to pay rent.
