File No. 812.00/14552.

Special Agent Silliman to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

Vera Cruz, March 10, 1915—4 p.m.

General Carranza intimated to me yesterday again that he did not understand the Department’s position in having representations made in the interest of other nationals than those of the United States when these nationals have their own representatives in the persons of their consular officers here in Vera Cruz. He stated also that he is ready to receive such representations through his Foreign Office.

Silliman.
