Villa claims to return to Chihuahua to meet Carranza and then attack Monterey. The Caragosa sails for Tampico with 200 Federal troops as rebels approach Tampico and water supplies are cut.

He claims three commissioners Schriver Hummelshime and Eichelberger opposed a News ring and asserts mayor elect Koon and Eyerman also acted for the people.
