Washington are very we'll defined and show that affairs are thoroughly un- derstood by the officials of each gov ernment
 "I sincerely hope that very soon there will be an equally thorough un- derstanding between the people of the United States and Mexico
 "As I set forth, yesterday, my goy- ernnient could not consider interven- ton for moment. I think the Uni- ted States has no idea of intervening and there has been nothing Of an au- thor1tative character that intervention has been contemplated by any other foreign power having interests in Mex leo.
 Naturally. my country desires that the insurrectos in the northwestern section of Mexico shall be prevented from securing arms. ammunition and supplies from this side of the border That is what the United States troops propose to do. according to all trust worthy information. It now only re- mains for them to accomplish this task. I have every reason to believe that this is within their power
 T have always been a great be- liever in the keen sense of Justice of the American people. Now that there has been time for sober thought I ap- peal to that striking characteristic and believe that your people will soon have a far better understanding of the en- tire situation. When 1t is realized that the insurrection in northwestern Mexico was largely framed i1 the the supplies have been obtained on this side of the border and that pos sibly most of the money for the movement has been raised in the Uni- ted States, I feel that the Americans having large interests in Mexico and all peace loving. people in the United States will be desirous of having the insurrectos plotted out"
