directing TINS note TO you WIFI view
to exhausting all honorable means be-
fore two friendly nations sever the
pacific relations that still unite them.
And the Mexican nation, the real peo-
pie of Mexico, have not recognized as its
executive man who had pretended to
launch blemish on its national integrity,
drowning in blood it's free institutions.
consequently the acts of the usurper
Huerta and his accomplices do not sign1-
fy legitimate acts of sovereignty; they
do not constitute real public functions of
interior and exterior relations, and much
less do they represent the sentiments of
the Mexican nation, which are of CO.
fraternity towards the American people.
1.-THE lack of representative character
of Gen. Victoriano Huerta as concerning
the relations Tof Mexico with the United
States as we'll as with Argentine Repub-
lie, Chile, Brazil and Cuba. had been
clearly established with justifiable atti-
tude of these nations who have refused
to recognize the usurper, in this way
lending a valuable moral support to the
noble cause / represent.
"The usurped title of the President of
the republic cannot invest General Huer-
for reparation on the part of the United
states, nor the right to grant satisfac-
ton as due.

government
THE individual of Victoriano Huer-
ia never will be sufficient to involve
the Mexican nation in disastrous
war with the United States because
there is no solidarity whatsoever be-
tween the so-called government OF
Victeriano Huerta and the Mexican
nation, for the fundamental reasons
that he is not the legitimate organ OF
our national sovereignty
Moreover the invasion of our ter
ritory and the permanency of your
forces in the Port of Vera Cruz are d
violation of the rights that constitute
our existence as free and independ-
emit sovereignty and will drag US into
| an unequal war with the dignity put
which until today we desired to avolo.

bloody strife, and compared with the for

| in considering the acts committed at
Vera Cruz as acts highly offensive to the
dignity and independence of Mexico and

peace and friendship with the Mexican
nation and In contradiction also with the

war against it, considering also that the

interpret the sentiment of a great ma
jority of the Mexican people, which
is so jealous of it's rights and re-
spectful of foreign rights ! invite you
solely to suspend the hostile acts al
ready initiated, ordering your forces
