The Brazilian Minister to Mexico to the Secretary of State ad interim.
Mexico City, June 15, 1915—5 p.m.
642. My 634, June 14, 3 p.m. I have just been assured that 5,000 Villistas under General Medina Veytia are expected in town in two or [Page 712] three days which will increase the possibility of more bloodshed by the conflict between them and Carrancistas. It is the general belief, including the leading diplomatists here who so telegraphed to their Governments, that nothing would contribute more to call the different factions to reason and incline them to settle their differences than an immediate formal and effective prohibition of exportation of arms and ammunition to anybody in Mexico until the end of the trouble.
