The Ambassador in Mexico (Morrow) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 15—1:30 a.m.]
117. Department’s 124, March 12. This morning I saw the Acting Foreign Minister, Estrada, and requested him to advise me which of the two alternatives, set forth in the Department’s instruction of March 12 with regard to the disposition of refugee troops, the Government of Mexico would prefer. He replied that he had been in communication with the Mexican Ambassador at Washington regarding this matter and before definitely replying desired to further advise himself respecting the facts under which the entry of the Federal Mexican troops in question into American territory took place. He will probably communicate further with the Mexican Ambassador in this connection.
