.ESPEE ABANDONS PART OF SERVICE
 ON WEST COAST
Will Not Run Trains South of San Bias Because
 of Burned Bridges
DIDN'T ASK FOR AID

The situation along the west coast Of Mexico seems 10 be growing worse every hour. Several bridges of the Southern Pacific Of Mexico were burn. ed on Saturday. and the officials have
 decided to abandon all train service south or San Bias. It is said that
 bands Of outlaws can burn bridges faster than the railway officials can
 possibly restore them.
 Mercantile credits have been prac- tically all withdrawn. The west coast of Mexico has no money available fo' the transaction Of business. A small percentage of normal crops is being planted and famine Ia predicted to add its terrors to the present anar- 'chy Ali kinds Of business is paraliz. ed and not only is there insufficient traffic to warrant railway operation but the official Of the Rudolph lines 'avoW that they cannot consistently expect their Subordinates to risk life and limb at such fearful odds.
 The most disappointing feature. which has come home to close obser- Vers within the past two or three weeks is the utter lack of patriotism
 
 upper classes especially seem remiss in the spirit Of cooperation which is the genius of the Anglo-Saxon race. \ gentleman who recently returned from the west coast states that no Mexican business man seems to have drop of blood to shed or a dollar to contribute in the cause Of stability. The Mexican takes out in wind-iam- ming. in high sounding phrases de ploring lhe degeneracy Of everyone but himself.
 There are now said to be some 4O00 outlaws under the arms in the state of Sinaloo alone. These have no com mon cause. but on the contrary are divided into bands Of a few hundred each. who levy tribute wherever pos sible The people of Culiacan, a city of 20,0O0 people and the capital of the state of Sinaloa on Saturday sent an accredited agent to Quintero, a leader of bandits. nearly q hundred miles away, asking him to come and take charge of the city of Culiacan. The theory seems to be that govern ment by bandits is better than no gov ernment at all. It is believed. how 'EhGIs 1T 5Oule OtutI Oullah Atdhti should happen to beat Quintero 10 Culiacan, that these adaptible and submissive people would readily !'change front and welcome any armed visitors regardless Of former predilec- tions.
 Women and children of the Ameri' can settlement of NavolotO. which is the headquarters for the large land and sugar interests controlled by Nel son Rhoades. Jr., are being sent 10 1 'Mazatlan It was intended to make ! the journey via the Occidental rail ! way to Culiacan and the Southern Pa cific 10 Mazatlan. but the uncertain ty of train service in the infested ter l ritory has caused a change of plan and arrangements have been made for ] thesa people to use the Occidental 1 railway to the obscure port of Altata
 and there take steamer to Mazat | Ian.
 ! The report in an Fl Paso paper that ! the Southern Pacific Railway Of Mex 1 ico had formally asked for protection i by Uuited States troops is denied 1 most emphatically by President Epe: ! Randolph. The report of this infiam < matory report in Mexico is said tC | have caused much harm, and that Il 7 may result in a suit for heavy dana ] ges against the paper in question: | Tucson Star.
