File No. 812.00/6177.

The American Ambassador to the Secretary of State.

[Telegrams—Paraphrases.]

American Embassy,
Mexico, February 15, 1913—10 p.m.

Please call the attention of the President to the circumstance that the Associated Press has brought a [rumor?] to Mexico that the President has stated that he would intervene in Mexico only after a wanton slaughter of Americans. The Mexican Herald suppressed this telegram, but President Madero used it today in connection with his arguments why he should not resign.

Wilson.
