Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 7, 1915

File No. 812.001H87/45.

Collector Cobb to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

El Paso, July 9, 1915.

Upon advice of counsel and with his full agreement, Huerta has just waived preliminary hearing and is to go to Fort Bliss, where he is to be held by the Marshal without bond until December court at San Antonio. District Attorney Camp and Assistant Crawford are entitled to high credit for the discreet, tactful and efficient management of the ease. This solves the problem unless Huerta should attempt to direct activity from Fort bliss, which Marshal is instructed to prevent.

Cobb.
