154. I have received from the Minister for Foreign Affairs the following informal communication dated to-day:
“The Department of War informs this Embassy [sic] that at 11:25 a.m. the 6th instant the American war vessel Sacramento anchored in the port of Tampico. Since in this case the Mexican Government has not received the customary notification I respectfully request you to be so good as to inform me what is the object of the visit of the war vessel referred to.”
