Secretary Root
There was only one course to follow IN
the matter, and that was TO go 10 the MeSi-
can Government through the American
Embassy at the City of Mexico. This was
done. The Mexican Embassy hero has
had no advices about the affair. will prob
ably have nothing until the Mexican Gov
eminent In the usual course OF events,
expresses lie regret over tho death Of the
Americans az Cananea.
As soon IA possible Gen. Ainsworth,
the Military Secretary. under the direction
Of Secretary Taft, sent the following mes
sage to Naco to intercept Major Watts and
his squadron OF the Fifth Cavalry:
Secretary Of War directs that you with
your squadron shall not cross boundary
line into Mexico. II you reach Naco 10
into camp and await Instructions III you
receive this message inform tho War De-
partment at once OF your whereabouts
IL was to this message that Major Watts
replied that he did not intend to go into
Mexico.
The dispatches from Mr.. Galbraith to
Fort Huachuca which were sent to head
quarters at Denver and thence to Wash
ington, are as follows.
"A general instruction at Cananea. Next
cans against Americans and all others.
Several Americans killed. Governor Of
Sonora at Nogales tonight on his way
here. We must have protection. Can
you render immediate assistance?
Nv. j. Galbraith, I'm tied States Consul
This was followed by a second despatch
which said: My life as well as the lives
of other American citizens in jeopardy.
A number of Americans already killed. L
am United States Consul must be protected;
send troops via Naoo Immediately.
"W.J. GALBRAITH, US. Consul.
There is not the slightest doubt on the
part of officials here that the Mexican Gov
eminent will take every possible step to
st raighten out affairs at Cananea, and there
is lit lie likelihood Of any i~nternstiona COM
plications in the matter. The officials of
the Mexican Embassy here say that Gov.
Ysabel of Sonora is an able man and equal
to the situation at Cananea.
Under an existing treaty it is possible
for American troops to enter Mexico without
first obtaining permission from the Mexican
Government and for Mexican soldiers to
come into the United States, but the present
case cannot be made to fit stipulations of the
convention. The treaty was made years
ago, when the Apache Indian troubles. were
at their worst. 1t provided that when
troops of cit her Mexico or the United States
we're in pursuit of Indians or outlaws the
border line might be crossed.
