suits to the American flag and as
saults made. openly upon American
CT liens in thu streets, the anti
American demonstration which began
las. night with the stoning of the
Mexican Herald offices, developed this
afternoon into an affair of interna-
tional importance.
A vigorous protest was registered
by the American Ambassador with
the Mexican Department of Foreign
Relations and at the same time the
facts were telegraphed to Washing
ton and instructions asked for.
Tonight the attacks We're renewed.
Windows in a dozen American bust
ness places were smashed. All about
town shutters We're hurrledly drawn
and establishments closed. Forces of

While the police looked on and
seemingly made no effort TO pre-
vent it, an American flag, floating
in front of a candy store in the Dus-
mess district, was torn down this af-
terncon by a crowd of several hum
bred medical students and others,
trampled and spat upon and torn to
bits. Later photographs of the crowd
were taken before the offices of the
Diarce Del Hogan, a Mexican newspa-
per, with many individuals waving
bits of the tattered banner.
The demonstration to-day was a
continuation Of the affair of last
night, caused by antlpathy aroused
among the people by the burning at
the stake of Antonio RcdrigueA at
Rock Springs, Texas, on the night
of November 8.
Publication of the violent attacks
on Americans by several Mexican
papers, tended to further incense
the medical studcn-s, who were the
promoters of last nights demonstra-
ton.
Ell Diarce del Hogan was particu
larly violent in the expressions of
animosity toward the people of the
United States, characterizing them as
giants of the dollar, pigmies of cul-
ture and barbarous whites of the
North" and asking Where is the
boosted Yankee civilization"

palace the students marched through
Avenida San Francisco, the princi-
pal business thoroughfare of the

store where the flag incident oc-

Gathering numbers as it proceed
ed, the crowd marched to the Office
OF the Department Of Foreign Rela-
tone, making demonstrations on the
way against American business places
and br,aking windows in the Saint
Francis hotel. JackDavis, IAN automo-
bile r4Iair man, had a hand-to-hand
enccuLter with a dozen members of
tic crowd when they attempted to
tear The top from his automobile and
enter his establishment. lie knock
ed several of his assailants &c the
