Villa Seeks Conference with Scott amid Peace Offer Reports
Washington reports that Villa’s peace offer, claimed to be sent by his envoy to El Paso, drew amusement in official circles as no confirmation came from the State Department. General Bell sent a communication to the War Department, with no word from border agents. A Solis case update stated the American consul sought a fair trial in Matamoros after arrest by Mexican officials for alleged plots against the de facto government. Across the border, about 100 mounted bandits were sighted opposite Fabella, prompting militia patrols to relay the sighting to Fort Bliss as General Wreyino prepared to travel toward the border and Mexico City via Juarez.
