south OF the border. desired again to call
the attention of the United States tn the
fact that such action was against the

Such as TO graYely endanger the harmony
and good relations between the two gov

CARDS this as a violation of its SOW
eFelgnty, and urges the United States
government to consider carefully the ad-
Visibility Of outlining its intentions to
the Mexican government. To this end
the Mexican government wishes to review
the tacts as they have developed.
Assurances Given
In sending the Pershing expedition
the American government gave assur-
ances that its purpose was simply to
pursue and capture. or disperse, the ban
dts involved in the raid on Columbus
and that in no sense would it undertake
an invasion Of Mexico.
Despite the assurances OF Generals
Scott and Funston that a second exnaIi-
ton would not be sent across the line
the Mexican government is Just informed
by Its representatives on the border that
a second expedition Of 400 men had cross
cd on May 10 or II. and had reached FL
Pine, sixty miles south Of the border. 1t
is further informed that the commander
Of this expedition (Col Sibley) had in
formed the Mexican military authorities
at Esmeralda that he had crossed IN ac-
coTdance with the agreement between the
two governments and with the alleged
consent Of the Mexican consul at Ell Rio
Tex ->'0'
The Mexican government recognizes
its obligation to protect its frontier but
believes that a similar obligation rests
on the United States. and that the United
states will appreciate the difficulties of
the Mexican government inasmuch as
the American government, despite its
numbers, has been unable to protect its
border. II now and then there might
occur further raids, they should be a
matter of pecuniary settlement, but de-
plorable as such raids are the Mexican
government can in no sense be held re-
sponsible, inasmuch as It has done all it
could to prevent such incidents.
The Mexican government believes that
the American forces should be with
drawn and that it should not be forced
10 defend its territory against further
invasion"
