definitely responsible for every such
barbaric act.
In it's ultimatum to Gen. Orozco,
the state department calls specific at

formal announcement that because
the United States has refused to rec

he will pay no further attention to
any demands made by Consul Letcher
at Chihuahua, this statement is de-
livered through that official, and that

Attention Is called to the military

American citizen who was captured
by a force under the command Of
Gen. Orozco, and he is informed that
