Monterey Arrives at Havang with 251 Refugees
The Ward line steamer Monterey arrived at Havang from Vera Cruz carrying 251 passengers, mostly American refugees, after passing through a cyclone. Carranza’s conciliatory note to Secretary of State Lansing helped defuse the Mexican crisis, signaling cooperation against border bands and possible diplomatic settlement. Corporal F. X. Cooke, last rescue survivor from Carrizal, was turned over to U S authorities at El Paso. The Mexican foreign relations department condemned U S replies as discourteous and claimed Americans incite trouble in the danger zone.
