Admiral Window to the Secretary of the Navy.
Via San Diego, November 28, 1915.
M–3148. Annapolis from Topolobampo reports:
An officer from the ship was sent to call upon Commanding General, Sepulveda, at Los Mochis this afternoon. General Sepulveda informed officer that it was his intention to maintain the present forces at Aguila and Los Mochis until the Indian troubles had been settled. A party Americans visited Los Mochis today and they reported to me this evening that the Carrancista troops upon arriving had looted their home and had been guilty of many acts of vandalism against them. I will proceed to Los Mochis in the morning, see the Mexican authorities there, and insist that they give proper protection to American property.
