 Villa said the message was couchsd in terms used in warfare in such cases Cummins refused to take the message arguing that he was neutral and should not mix in political affairs of the coun- try.
 At this Villa became very angry and said we foreigners were demanding that he protect foreigners and be humanitarian in his acts, and that at the very first opportunity given us to do some good we refused. He commenced to talk about probably having to fight all of us, when interposed and advised Cummfns to go.
 Villa said he first thought of sending the message by me- but on second thought had decided on Cummins on ae- count of his friendship with Veasco, as he would be in no danger. Cummns agreed to go, so I wrote some instruc- tions to MT. Ulmer. Cummins left about o'clock and was to return about noon next day. The interview with Villa had most serious aspect for few moments, but as it turned out, Villa and he shook hands. called each other amigos and parted in the best of spirits.
