File No. 812.00/18098
General Scott to the Secretary of War
Have waited all day for promised notification of receipt by Obregon of instructions. No result. Obregon has said to Americans in Juarez that his instructions had been received but that several changes were desired; that he intends to leave to-morrow at twelve o’clock. This confirmed by conductor of his train. Trevino left to-day. Mexican officers in Juarez said to be excited. Obregon said Mexican people are excited. Consul Garcia said to three people to-day that he does not see how agreement can be accepted by Mexico without a definite date for withdrawal of troops. From all of which it is surmised that Carranza has not approved agreement and Obregon proposed to leave to-morrow. The press correspondents declare on other hand that agreement has been approved by Carranza. Am awaiting result here.
