Washington, May 4.-Oficial dis
patches to the state department from
Ambassador Wilson and the consular
officers in Mexico confirm the reports
published indicating a very serious in
ternational disturbances in Mexico.
The condition of the neighboring
republic was discussed by the presi.
dent with several of the cabinet Of
ficers before he left here for Balti-
more. Ambassador Wilson was in.
structed to keep the department fully
advised.
He reported that a great many for
eigners of all ~nationalities are leaving
Mexico City in apprehension of per-
sonal danger. He also reports that
Cuernavaca has been cut off from
communication with Mexico City.
This is an important place of $4,000
people, for the German inhabitants of
which Germany has made strong rep
reservations to the Mexican foreign
office. The United States government
joints Germany in seeking guarantees
of protection.
The state department is also inform
ed that Torreon district with the eX-
ception of the city of Torreon is en-
tirely in the hands of the revolution
lists and that conditions are very
alarming.
To add to the disturbing reports, the
department is informed that commune
cation with Mazatlan and Acapulco is
Interrupted.
All these reports are from such
widely separated points, some of them
near the capital city of Mexico, that
The conditions present questions of
gravest concern to the administration.
Gen. Wood at White House.
Gen. Wood called at the White
house, but the result was not made
public. All the dispatches to the
state department had previously been
sent to Gen. Wood. In view of the
general belief that the armistice is
at an end both the state department
and the wal department fear an i'm
mediate resumption of military ac-
Livity along the border towns.
Mexico City has suddenly realized
the seriousness of its position. The
lines of the rebels are drawing nearer
every day and no movement of attack
by the insurrectos would be unex-
pected.

Danger at the Capital.
Mexico City represents a vast
powder mine and the spark to explode
it is an overt attack upon American
citizens. 1t is believed President
Diaz would consent to American inter
yention.
Sedition in the ranks of the federal
army has weakened it to such an eX-
tent that volunteers are being sought
daily ans companies of citizen soldiers
are being drilled for an emergency.
In the city of Mexico alone there are
than 5000 criminals in the peni-
tertiary and the bandit leaders have
threatened to release this horde in
the event of a successful attack. The
jails in Mexico City are filled with
political prisoners and others whose
liberation would mean a bloody reign
of rapline and murder. Foreigners
