Tomas Mejia to To His Excellency J. M. Lafragua, April 30, 1875

[Inclosure 3 in 2 in No. 287.—Translation.]

Mr. Mejia to Mr. Lafragua.

Citizen Minister of Foreign Affairs: In a telegram of to-day General M. Escobedo states to me from San Luis Potosi, among other things, the following:

“Yesterday prisoners arrived at Saltillo. Direct me what proceeding ought to be instituted for their trial.

“Informed of the arrival of prisoners. As I said to you before, keep them in security, and inform me by this medium what is stated concerning the conduct, antecedents, and other circumstances which relate to said prisoners, in order that the proper determination may be made in regard to them, as up to the present nothing-has been received.”

I communicate it to you for your information.

Independence and liberty.

MEJIA.
