Chargé O’Shaughnessy to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram—Extract.]

I was handed my passports tonight at 7.30 o’clock and I leave for Vera Cruz April 24 on a special train with a large escort. General [Page 485] Huerta’s son goes with me as a guaranty of my safety. I am notifying consular officers to withdraw from Mexico.
