 Until we receive complete report from Rear-Admiral Badger about the situation at Vera Cruz" Secretary Daniels said, We have nothing to say about Tampico."
 Senator Shively, acting chairman of the foreign relations committee who 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 MT. Secretary of State Bryan. which was communicated to me through you, please transmit to the said Mir. Bryan the following note addressed to Mr. President Wilson:
 Awaiting the action Of the Amer ican senate on your excellencys mes sage directed to said body caused by { the lamentable incident which oc- cured between a crew in a whaleboat of the cruiser Dolphin and the sol diers of the usurper, Huerta, certain acts of hostility have been executed by the naval forces under command i of Admiral Fletcher at the port of 1 Vera Cruz, and, in the face of this : violation of national sovereignty which the constitutiGnalist government did not expect from a government which had 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 view to eXhausting all honorable means before two friendly nations sever the pacific relations that still unite them And the Mexican nation. the real people of Mexico, have not recognized as it's executive a man who had pretended to launch d hemsh on it's national integrity, drowning blod it's free institutions conscoUcntly the acts Of the usurpe1 HUCrta and his accOmplices do moi signify legitimate acts of sovereignty they do not constitute real public runctions of interior or exterior re- latiors, and much less do they rep resent sentiments of the Mexican na- ton. which are of co-fraternity to- wards the Amer:>an people.
 "The lacl; of d representatir" char actcr of General Victoriano Hucr;a as concerning the relations of MeTi-

 with the iustifiab-e attitude cf ;hes' nations who have refused to recog- nize the usurper, in this way tendins to valuable moral support to tha

 The usurped title fthc presidcn
 of the republic can not invest Gen
 Huerta with the right to receive
 demand off reparatiOn on the part O
