"Senor Gonzales Garza, El Paso, Texas.

"In reply to your note dated yesterday in which you ask me in the name of the citizen, Francisco I. Madero, for the evacuation of this city have the honor to inform you that it is impossible for me to grant your demands because I have not the authority to do so. I extend to you my consideration in the name of liberty and the constitution.

(Signed) "JUAN NAVARRO,
