The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Mexico (Summerlin)
Washington, February 2,
1924—5 p.m.
71. The cruiser Omaha and destroyer squadron have been relieved from duty in Mexican waters. However, in view of recent reports from Consul at Vera Cruz to the effect that the trend of developments there affecting American life and property is such as to make some precautionary measure advisable, the cruiser Richmond has been ordered to proceed to Vera Cruz and should reach there tomorrow.
