Mr. Gomez Perez to Mr. Lafragua.

Department of the Interior, (Gobernacion,) Section 2, Mexico, January 28, 1875.

To the Citizen Minister of Foreign Affairs, present:

The citizen governor of the State of Guerrero, in a telegram dated yesterday, at Dos Caminos, reports to me the following:

“Notwithstanding I have ordered the appropriate measures to be taken for the preservation of order and the protection of the persons threatened by the assault of last night, I have now the satisfaction to repeat the same, in obedience to the excitative of your department contained in the message which the department of foreign affairs incloses relative to that of the consul of the United States in Acapulco. Finally, I have made arrangements to collect a considerable force, notwithstanding the distance, in case that it might be necessary to make use of it to establish the disturbed order.”

I have the honor to transcribe this to you as a result of your communication of yesterday relative to the matter.

CAYETANO GOMEZ PEREZ,
Chief Clerk.
