Note Not Received.
In a message to a friend in FL Paso
Thursday morning, Diaz Lombardo,
minister Of foreign relations in Villas
cabinet said that president Wilson's
note had not been received at Chihua-
hua or by Gen Villa and that all Villa
officials had been warned to give no
expression Of opinion on the note ex-
cept by permission Of Gen. Villa. The
message was dated at Chihuahua
Thursday morning.
The note is rather difficult one
to translate into Spanish" said a well
known American who knows the Span
ish language well. 1T loses all its finer
points when translated and will read
rather bluntly compared to the usual
nowery Spanish effusions"
Says Carranza's the Man.
Andres Garcia, consul for Carranza in
FL Paso, discussing the note, said: IF
any comment on the Wilson note is to
be made from the Carranza side il is
my opinion that it should come from
Carranza himself or some high off,
ciaL AS regards one part OF the note,
however, I wish TO express the opinion
that II Carranza is not the man to
control the situation, then the man has
not yet been born"
