File No. 812.00/18380
Special Agent Silliman to the Secretary of State
Saltillo, June 10, 1916, 6 p.m.
At his request I saw Governor this afternoon. He told me that he had been in telegraphic communication with General Ricaut today regarding active pursuit of Rosa who has been committing depredations near Columbia, Tamaulipas. Governor stated that he had urgently telegraphed military commander at Piedras Negras to cooperate, using Coahuila troops. General Ricaut’s telegrams were confidentially shown me. Understand he and our commander at Laredo are cooperating in an effort to capture this bandit.
The Mexican General’s spirit appears very different from the local spirit which I have had to bring to the Department’s attention recently.
