The American Ambassador to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

American Embassy,
Mexico, September 13, 1912—3 p.m.

In pursuance of Department’s September 12, 8 p.m., I called upon Minister for Foreign Affairs this morning and made urgent representations relative to the unfortunate results which might follow at Aguaprieta and Nogales, should firing across the line not be prevented. He authorized me to telegraph the Department that immediate and energetic steps will be taken to prevent any such occurrences at either place. I left with him a clear memorandum on the subject and believe that the matter will be diligently attended to.

Wilson.
