CIRCULAR. - The United States have
consummated the perfdy agans: Mexico,
by sanciionng the decree which declares
the annexation of the department Of Tex
as 10 that Republic. The injustice Of that
usurpation is apparent, and Mexico cannot
tolerate such grave injury without max
ing an effort to prove TO the United States
the possibility of her ability to cause her
rights to be respected. With this object,
the Supreme Government has resolved up.
on declaration OF war against that pow.
er, seeing that our forboarance, instead of
being received as proof Of our friendly
disposition, has been Interpreted into an
acknowledged impossiblly on our part to
carry on successful war.


Such an error on the part Of the United
States will be advantageous to Mexico,
because suddenly abandoning its pacific
attitude, it will tomorrow communicate to
Congress the declaration of war, and ex.
cite the patriotism Of its citizens TO sustain
the dignity of the nation and the integrity
of lis territory, now trcacherously ly attack
ed, in utter disregard Of all guarantees re-
cognizcd in this enlightened age.


You will readily appreciate The imPor-
tance of this subject, and the necessity of
preparing the troops under your command,
10 march towards any point which may
require protection against these most un-
Just oggressions. am directed by the
Provisional President 10 enjoin upon you,
as General-in Chief of your division, and
as a citizen Of this Republic, 10 hold your
self in readiness to repel those who seek
the ruin Of Mexico. The Government is
occupied in covering the different points
on the frontiers, and in collecting the ne
cessary means, so that nothing may be
wanting to those whose glory il will be
to defend the sacred rights of their country.


! have the honor 10 communicate for
your intelligence, and TO direct your con-
duct. God shd Liberty Mexico, July
l6, 1915. GARCIA CONDE.
