Washington , January 29, 1916 .
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th instant, inclosing copy of a telegram, dated January 14, from the Government Consul at Querétaro, Mexico, stating the de facto Government of Mexico requests that the military and immigration authorities of the United States cooperate with the Mexican authorities in their efforts to exterminate certain bands of outlaws now operating in the State of Chihuahua, by denying the said outlaws refuge in this country.
A copy of your letter and the Consul’s message has been furnished the Supervising Inspector, Immigration Service, El Paso, Texas, with instructions that all measures consistent with law and official duty be taken by him and the officers under his jurisdiction to prevent entry to the United States of persons of the character indicated.
Respectfully,
