File No. 812.00/18410
Special Agent Silliman to the Secretary of State
Saltillo, June 12, 1916, 6 p.m.
The Governor has just called me for conference with General Ricaut who has arrived here. The General informed me as follows:
Troops sent in pursuit of Rosa and band overtook them. The entire band was captured excepting Rosa who escaped and boarded a freight train which was en route to Monterey. Upon arrival at that city he was arrested. Commander of the city was instructed to present him for identification to Consul General Hanna this morning. He is said to be a citizen of the United States. The rest of the band were delivered to the Constitutionalist commander at Lampasos. General Ricaut says they were in very sorry condition, poorly armed and some of them afoot, number about forty.
