Washington, Texas, May l9, 1915.

 The undersigned, Attorney General of the republic of Texas, charged ad ia'erjm with She direction of the Department of State, re- specually invites the aHentioa of -the Hon. Ar. Donelson, minister charge d'aaairs of the Unlled States near this government, to the following considerations respecting the inter- esls of the two countries, whether viewed in lhe existing attitude of their mutual relations, or in that of their probable and prospective connexions.

 Ii cannot have esaped the notice of the Hon. Mir. Doneson, that, rom the tenor of the late communication of Gen. Almonte to the President of the UnileA States, when de- handing his passports as minister plenipo- tentiary and envoy extraordinary of the go- vefment of Mexico, Texas is still claimed by the latter as one of is departments, and that belligereRt measures ale threatened to maintain this claim; also, that, from the news paper accounts of the termination of all di- piomatic intercourse with the American min- lster al Mexico, the same belligerent attitude is manifested by circular alleged to have been addressed 10 the representatives of En- gland and France at that court.

 From the tone of these manifestoes, anew invasion of the territory of Texas may rea- sonably be apprehended, ifthe proposals late ly received from the UnitedStates for the an- nexation of Texas to the federal Union should be accepted by Texas; of which result, the sure indications of the popular will, exhibit- cd from the various portions of tie republic, present to the mind an assurance so strong as to challenge conviction, and leave scarce ly a possible room for doubt.
