The Ambassador in Mexico (Daniels) to the Secretary of State
[Received 3:45 p.m.]
9. Referring to Department’s telegram No. 13, January 31, 6 p.m., the Minister for Foreign Affairs in a letter received last night states that the chief of the Migration Service at Tijuana says that he has no information that Chinese entering the United States crossing at unauthorized points and that the chief of the American Immigration Service has informed him that he is redoubling the guard in order to prevent such entries. The Mexican agent further stated that he would report immediately any new developments. The Mexican Immigration Agent at Ensenada reported that he had no knowledge of entries of Chinese into the United States at secret points.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs advised me orally that the President told him that the territory of Lower California being under federal jurisdiction, if deportments of Chinese from that point into the United States took place the Federal Government would control it.
