No. 222. Señor Zamacona to Mr. Blaine.

[Translation.]

Legation of Mexico in the United States, Washington, October 10, 1881.
(Received October 12.)

Mr. Secretary: The accompanying extracts, copied from an Arizona newspaper, corroborate the statements which I have had the honor to make to the Department of State, both verbally and in writing, in regard to the state of insecurity which prevails on that portion of the frontier, and from which the adjacent districts of Mexico are sufferers.

The note with which the Department of State was pleased to honor me on the 29th of August last convinces me that the evil in question is not a matter of indifference to the Department of State, and I therefore lay before it the inclosed data, availing myself of the opportunity to express the hope that the Department will, when it shall have received information thereof, communicate to this legation the result of the steps taken by it with a view to securing the restoration of order in those frontier districts in which lawlessness has become most prevalent.

I have, &c.,

M. DE ZAMACONA.
