No. 231.
Señor Romero to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

[Translation.]

Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to inform you that I duly transmitted to the Government of the United States of Mexico a copy of the note addressed by you to me on the 13th of March last, in amplification of the reply made to Mr. Zamacona’s note of the 18th of February preceding, relative to the incursions of the Chiricahua Indians into Mexican territory, with which you sent me a copy of a communication from the Secretary of War, in which that officer stated that he had taken suitable measures to prevent, so far as possible, the raids of the Chiricahuas into Mexican territory.

I have just received the reply of the minister of foreign relations of Mexico, bearing date of March 29, 1882, whereby I am instructed to inform the United States Government that the Mexican Government will be glad to receive a report with regard to the measures adopted by the General-in-Chief of the United States Army and by the general in command of the Division of the Pacific, in pursuance of the instructions issued to them by the Secretary of War in relation to this matter.

I have, &c.,

M. ROMERO.
