File No. 812.00/15133.
Special Agent Silliman to the Secretary of State.
[Telegram.]
Vera Cruz,
June 4, 1915.
Papers publish President’s statement in full without comment. It appears to have been well received in official circles. Foreign Minister unofficially informed me this morning that a reply would be made “appreciative, friendly and serene.” The Constitutionalists hope that the First Chief can fulfil the desires of the United States. The prompt occupation of Mexico City was again assured and all possible protection to foreign interests.
Silliman.
