Consul Alger to the Secretary of State.

[Extract.]

American Consulate,
Mazatlan, June 5, 1915.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt on June 4 of American declaration on the Mexican situation. I at once sent copies to the Military Commander and the civil authorities for their information.

I understand that the Military Commander on reading the message remarked, “What a witty man Mr. Wilson is.” This is the only comment that I have heard. * * *

Wm. E. Alger.
