PAPERS REVEAL
VILLA’S PLANS
CITIZENS AGREED TO TAKE l'I‘
ARMS IN HiS SUPPORT
AGAINST AMERICANS.
COLUMBUS, March 13.—Papers
found Jn the battlefield opposite
here revealed that Francisco Villa
decided last October to "age war
fare against Americans. This step,
according to Villa's personal docu
ments, was taken immediately fol
j lowing recognition by the United
States of the Carranza de facto
government, and began with the in
stitution of Villa’s campaign in
Sonora, which ended disastrously at
Agua Prieta on Nov. 20.
Among the papers found was what
purported to be an agreement be
tween Villa and Mexican residents
of Colonia Morelos, near El Tigre,
Sonora, pledging mutual support in
an effort to oust Mormons and oth
er Americans, confiscate their prop
erty and operate their mines and
farms.
The citizens, according to the
; alleged agreement, promised to take
: up arms with Villa to gain this end.
Villa was to furnish the Mexicans
of the district with livestock, to be
' delivered by April, 1916, “after he
had overcome Carranza and estab
• lished himself as supreme chief of
Mexico.”
Another of the papers acknowledg
ed receipt of $25,000 in gold from
the Consolidated Cananea Copper
1 Company at N’aco, Sonora, shortly
after Villa’s retreat from Agua
Prieta. The receipt credited the
- money to export duties on copper
; ores from Cananea, but a notation
showed that the money really was
paid for the lives of three Ameri
5 cans held as prisoners and who all
. the time were reported to have been
; marked for execution.
I Among the papers found was a
letter of invitation to Zapata to
| join him in a war against the Unit
1 ed States. In part it says:
"I shall not expend another shell
on-brother Mexicans, but will pre
| pare and organize to attack the
I Americans on their own soil and
let them know that Mexico is a
[j land of the free and the tomb of
'! thornless crowns and traitors.”
Villa proposed that the joint
|{ movement with Zapata against the
United States should take place six
; months from Jan. 6. Zapata, so far
as known, made no move to accept
and this may have been responsible
for Villa’s decision to march on
! Columbus alone.
Villa in the letter attributed his
I defeat at Agua Prieta last Novem
ber to the action of the United
j States in permitting Carranza mili
i tary authorities to send over Ameri
can territory' reinforcements for the
; Mexican town opposite Douglas,
; Ariz., and declared that it was “an
act of an invasion of the sovereignty
of Mexico and an' insult to the peo
ple.”
“At the time,” Villa told Zapata,
[ “I restrained but with the greatest
j difficulty, the impulse of my troops
to attack the city of Douglas ”
; Carranza, he said in the letter,
had sold out Mexico to the United
j States, agreeing to lease Magdalena
j bay for 99 years and giving over
control of the Mexican national rail
road.
