AMERICANS QUITTING MEXICO.
THREATS OF AN ANTI-FOREIGN
UPRISING START EXODUS.
Labor AgitatOrs and ReyOlutionIsts Re-
sponsibie for the Hostility Aroused
proclamation Say Nation Is Made
the Servant OF Foreign Capital.

Ell PAso, Tex, July 2l.-Train Dads OF
Americans are pouring through here from
all parts Of Mexico, where threats OF a gen
eral uprising nave become 80 acute that the
foreigners are beginning a general exodus
Circulars have been posted in Monterey
Saltillo, San Luis Potosi and other large
Mexican cities warning all foreigners to
leave the country. TIL circular says:
aWe desire Mexico for Mexicans and warn
all foreigners hat IL they do not leave the
country by the 18th Of September they will
be driven into the sea-
Our nation, heretofore independent, is
being made the servant Of foreign capital.
We are on the border Of an abyss and a
great catastrophe menaces US unless we
force all foreigners out Of the country
and give our own people a chance
For some time rumors have been rife
in almost all the large cities Of Mexico
which may portend anything from a great
strike Of the laboring element to a revolu-
ton against the administration OF Presi-
dent Diaz. Enough credenoe is placed in
the rumors to cause much uneasiness and
a conference Of Governors has been called
by the President.
NEW ORLEANS, July 21.-E. j. Mathes,
one Of the party Of ffty-two American men
women and children who left Mexico be-
cause Of anti-foreign threats and passed
through New Orleans late last night on
the way to Cincinnati, said:
"One Of the most alarming features Of
the situation is the fact that the Mexican
servants have joined in the anti-foreign
movement and the wives Of the foreigners
are in mortal terror Of their families being
poisoned. l was reluctant to leave the
country, but I simply could not resist the
pleadings Of the members Of my family.
1 am now taking them to our former home
In Ohio,
"The anti-foreign movement is strongest
In the northern and central portions OF
Mexico, where the natives nave been
wrought up to a high pitch Of excitement
by agitators and agents of revolutionary
societies. Along the Rio Candle border the
movement is not 80 strong because the
Mexicans fear the Texans, who know how
to shoot. The educated class of Mexicans
Is not In sympathy with the anti-foreign
movement, but is In a hopeless minority.
The army ID recruited from the lower classes
and canno be relied upon. The uprising
Is scheduled to occur in. September, and 1t
may be necessary for the United States to
throw an army across the border in order
10 protect American citizens.
THE anti-foreign sentiment has grown
70 such an extent that do not believe the
Mexican Government can cope with it
successfully
Other members OF the party include men
with their families bound for Kentucky,
Tennessee and States further east.
