 Until we receive a complete report from Rear Admiral Badger about the situation at Vera Cruz" Secretary Daniels said, We have nothing to say i about Tampico." | Senator Shively acting chairman of i the foreign relations committee who 1 conferred with Secretary Tumulty ! spoke also of the Washington govern | ments intention to proceed slowly, ! hoping that it's successive acts of re- prisal might force Huerta to yield from his stubborn position and avert war. The official translation of the text of Carranza's letter follows:
 United States Consul J. C. Caroth- CTS: In answer to the message of Mir. Secretary of State Bryan. which was communicated to me through you. please transmit to the said Mir. Bryan the following note addressed to MT 1 President Wilson:
 l Awaiting the action of the Amer ican senate on your eXcellencY'S mes sage directed to said body caused by the lamentable incident which oc- cured between q crew in whaleboat of the cruiser Dolphin and the sol diers of the usurper, Huerta. certain acts of hostility have been executed hy the naval forces under command of Admiral Fletcher at the port of Vera Cruz, and, in the face of this violation of national sovereignty which the constitutionalist government did not expect from a government which ihad reiterated it's desire to maintain peace with the Mexican people, comply with the duty of elevated patriotism in directing this note to you with q view to cNhaustnS all
 honorabl means before two friendly nations sever the pacific relations that
 still mite them And the Mexican
 nation. ;hc real people of Mexico,
 have not recognized as it's executive q
 man who had pretcndcd to launch a hlcm;sh on it's national integrity drowning i blnd its free institutions : conecqucnlly the acts of tn" usurper
 Huerta and his accompliccs do not
 signify legitimate acts of sovereignty
 they Go not constitute reiu puohc
 
 lations. and much less do they rep
 resent sentiments of the Mexican ma
 tjon. which are of co-fratclnity to- wards the American people.
 The lack of Il representative char acter of General Nictoriano Hucrta, as concerning the relations of MeXl-
 co with the United States as well as
 with the Argentine Republic. Chile
 Brazil. Cuba. is clearly established l with the justifiab;e attitude of these I nations who have refused to recos-
 rize the usurper. in this way tending , to valuable moral support to that = noble cause l represent.
 The usurped title fthe president
 of the republic can not invest Gen Huerta with the right to receive {
 demand off reparation on the part O t the United States, nor the right t' a grant satisfaction as due.
 f "Victoriano Huerta is culprit wh' d is amenable to the cOnsututionalis $ government, today, the only one un It der the abnormal circumstances O n our nation. which represents the ma Y tioonal sovereignty in accord witt r. article 12S of the political lesisla
 ton of Mexico. The illegal act IT committed by the usurper Huerta. hi = partisans and those which they ma. IS vet perpetrate be they of an inter W national character as these whicl 'r recently occurred at the port of Tam st pico or of domestic character n shall be tried and punished with in d fleXibility and promptness by the tri
 lbunals of the constitutionalist gov | ernment
 q. Individual acts of Victoriano Huert d never will be sufficient to involve tn r, Mexican nation in a disastrous wa
 with the United States because there l e5 no solidity whatsoever between the so of called government of Nictoriano Huer le to and the Mexican nation for the fun
 damental reason that he is not th 3 legitimate organ of our national sov = ereignty
 Moreover. the invasion of our ter '' ritory and the permanency of you :. forces in the port of Vera Cruz are ''i violation of the rights that constitut
 our existence as free and independer
 sovereignty. and will drag us into a
 unequal war with the dignity but whic
