Laredo, Brownsville, Galveston and San Antonio,
Texas; New Orleans, La; Mobile, Alabama; Tampa,
Florida; Washington, ID. c.; New York City and Balt-

We are informed and believe that these branches

each; that Fernandez SOmeera was named to be in
charge of the movement in New York City; Ismae
Zuniga appointed to Washington; Federico Gam
boa was given charge over the branches in New
Orleans and San Antonio Texas ~.
We are informed and believe that "The Mexican
Peace Assembly Movement" hereinbefOre referred
to, had, at the time of its organization TWENTY
THOUSAND ARMED, ORGANIZED AND OFFI-
CERED MEN IN BANDS OF FROM EIGHT HUN
DRIED TO TWO THOUSAND, consisting of both
cavalry and infantry; that these forces were located
in various parts of the Republic of Mexico ready to
participate in the revolution the moment the hier-
archy gave the word; that these bands at the direc
ton of the conspirators now engaged in revolt
against the Government of Mexico.
We are informed and believe that after the meet
ing herenbefOre referred to- where it is claimed the
Mexican Peace Assembly Movement was organized,
in the City of New Orleans and signed petition ad
dressed to General Felix Diaz, Hotel Aberdeen, New
York City, urging him to head counter revolution
in the Republic of Mexico, and promising among
other things, the following Behind you will put
all the resources of those parties with which
united"
We are informed and believe that after this peti-
tiOn sent to General Felix Diaz he went to the
City of New Orleans and there conferred with the
cOnspiratOrs who signed the petition to him, and on
February 16 1916 the said General Felix Diaz after
comforting with the conspirators aforementioned,
cretly left the City of New Orleans, and went to
Tampa, Florida thence going by boat to Terra Colo
RADIO, State of Vera Cruz in the Republic of Mexico,
and there started the revolution which had been
planned against President Carranza.
We are informed and believe that Francisco
Beltram, Jr, was sent twice from the City of New
Orleans louisiana to Aqua Prieta, Republic of Mex
cO since January 1st, 1916, to confer with Francisco
Villa, the unspeakable bandit and murderer, in an
effort to induce said Francisco Villa to commit such
acts of violence against citizens of the United States
of America as would compel Intervention by the
United States and sincerely believe that the raid
by Francisco Villa and his murderous band on Column
bus, New Mexico, was the outcome of conferences
which said Francisco Beitram, Jr, had with the said
Villa.
We are informed and believe that the revolution
airy plOtters have deliberately set out to plunge this
nation into war with the Republic of Mexico, by
arousng enmty between the people of the sister re-
