File No. 812.512/575.

Vice Consul Bevan to the Secretary of State.

Sir: With further reference to my despatch number 1263 of February 21, I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of a decree and its English translation72 issued by Governor Luis Caballero on the first day of March, again extending the time for the presentation of manifests of property located in the State of Tamaulipas.

This decree postpones until the first of May any action that could be taken by the Carrancista officials relative to the expropriation of [Page 887] foreign property, and gives the property owners ample time to make their manifestations.

I have [etc.]

Thomas H. Bevan.
