American Consulate,
Tampico, October 28, 1915.

Peace negotiations are now going on between General Nafarrate, Commander-in-chief of the State of Tamaulipas, and Generals Pelaez and Salazar, leaders of the Villa forces in Vera Cruz. It is now highly probable that results will be satisfactory and that control of entire Tuxpam petroleum fields be turned over to Carranza.
