American Embassy,
Mexico, April 2, 1912—12 noon.

Your March 25, 4 p.m. The Government has agreed to take entire Chargé of shipment of American arms from Vera Cruz, furnishing a Federal guard therefor. Minister of Hacienda thinks the usual duty should be paid. Under the circumstances it perhaps ought to be waived, but I think it good policy to accede and pay the duty.

Wilson.
