Americans Are in
Danger in Mexico.

Juarez. Mex, July 16.-More than
$40 American citizens. together with
their wives and families, in towns
along the Mexican Northwestern ral'-
road are threatened with isolation
from the American border, with scant
means of escaping depredations oil
Mexican rebels.
Sufficient facts became known, to-
day, Of the situation along the Mex
lean Northwestern to warrant the
statement that it would cause no sur
mise If the Americans in all the towns
along The line were warned TO leave
Mexico at once.
General Pascual Orozco, Jr., within
the last "a hours had ordered the
Mexican Northwestern Railroad de-
struyed between Pearson and MADEIRA,
207 miles southwest of here, but the
order has been mysteriously rescinded.
The railroad is owned by the Pear
son Interests, a British corporation,
which likewise owns the MADEIRA Lum-
Der Co. Nearly all OF the employees,
however. numbering mere than 500,
are Americans. The quandary before
the officials, today, was to whom To
apply.
1t was said they did not wish to ask
the British government to make repre-
sensations for protection, for, while the
property is British, the employees are
American. For the Pearson officials, on
the other hand. to order an exodus oil
their employees would mean to leave the
properties and supplies at the mercy OF
the rebels/ who already have looted the
MADEIRA Cos storehouse of several thou
sand dollars worth of goods.
That the Mexican Northwestern Rail
road. along which most of the rebel
army now is stretched, is doomed to
destruction, is generally admitted, Tor
the rebels intend to harrass the govern
ment forces moving northwestward from
chihuahua City 1t is feared that after
the destruction of the railroad and the
telegraph, americans marooned in the
interior would have no redress If depre-
dations by irresponsible rebel bands
should occur
1t is desired, however, to take no
chances. and the women and children IN
the American colonies will be moved al
once to the United States.
