Villa Harbors Caution on Wilson Note as Juarez Quiets
Villa, a soldier not a diplomat, would not comment on President Wilson's message. He reported arranging tax payments on cotton exports with foreigners excluding Spaniards, with 75,000 bales valued at 450000. Carranza’s agent Pesqueira said the note to Bryan was a basis for negotiation, not a war threat. Juarez remained calm as Villa arrived. El Paso reinforced troops and tightened gun restrictions while British consul warned citizens to leave Mexico.
