In a written communication yesterday the Foreign Office, referring to my instructions, particularly to the representation made regarding the protection for oil properties at Tuxpam, states that

it has noticed with much pain a brusque and unusual tone and a strangely imperative text in the Department’s messages. This circumstance is greatly lamented, since the Government is making every effort it can and is giving due attention to the petitions and claims of the Department insofar as they are just.

Silliman.
