Carranza denounces allowing U S forces into Mexican territory to chase Villa and demands reciprocal rights. Mexican envoy in Washington relays formal representations as Carranza pledges no armed pursuit without accord. Interventions loom if terms fail.
Secret service reports from Camp Cotton and Fort Bliss indicate Carranza troops at Juarez may clash with American forces first, as mutiny grows among garrison officers and anti American sentiment surges. Villa resurgence boosts anti Gringo rhetoric and Carranza fears loss of prestige if he acknowledges invasion.
Washington reports indicate possible government intervention as officials track the punitive expedition against Villa. Censorship keeps troop movements under wraps while observers note readiness in the capital amid ongoing military considerations.
Washington reports growing distrust in Carranza circles toward the American expedition to capture Villa. Dispatches note Carranza troops in Chihuahua City shouting death to the Gringos. Juarez officials deny American passage, and border customs curtail arms shipments and blasting powder.
General Carranza presents a manifesto defending Mexico's sovereignty after Villa's forces attacked Columbus, New Mexico. He appeals for calm, notes U S Congressional debate on intervention, and seeks an amicable resolution to avoid international conflict. The message references past incursions in 1880 and 1886 and signals ongoing diplomatic efforts.
