have learned 10 look with as much favor upon the
citizens Of other States as she beSt0ws upon those
Of her own.

our demand and as II Is perfectly reasonable one
we insist upon prompt and thorough compliance
and In default our troops will do that which the
Diaz directory cannot or will not perform.
