File No. 812.00/6400.

The American Consul at Ciudad Porfirio Díaz to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Consulate,
Eagle Pass, February 27, 1913.

Colonel Carranza with his about 200 State troops is still in complete possession of customhouse, telegraph office, etc., in fact of everything else in C. P. Díaz; and advices have been received indicating that forces of the Federal Government are moving towards C. P. Díaz. Spanish subjects ask my good offices as they have no consul in C. P. Díaz. Movement of Mexican families from C. P. Díaz to Eagle Pass continues. Nothing alarming or disagreeable has occurred up to this time although much excitement prevails.
