Brazilian Legation,
Mexico City, July 19, 1915—11 a.m.

678. My 677. Contrary to the official communication of General Gonzales the evacuation has been complete and the city left at the mercy of the first passing band. Zapatistas occupied city yesterday afternoon, appointed today some authorities and are therefore again in full power of the city. Happily they behaved well up to now but the whole situation remains as hopeless as before. It is expected President Cházaro and Conventionist Government will return soon, pending the next (seventh) evacuation.
