Vice Consul Bevan to the Secretary of State.

[Extract.]

Sir: With further reference to my telegram of October 28 regarding the peace conference between General Nafarrate and Generals Pelaez and Salazar, the leaders of the Villista forces in the State of Veracruz, I have the honor to report that the conference was a success, and the reactionary forces have agreed to espouse the cause of General Carranza. The Villista officers will retain the same ranks in the Carrancista army as they held in the Villista army, and General Manuel Pelaez will remain in command of the Tuxpam district.

I have [etc.]

Thomas H. Bevan.
