PROMISE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO PROTECT FOREIGN INTER
 EsTs IN THE NORTH.
AMERICANS MAKE PROTEST
General Huerta Will Soon Be in So- nora With Several Flying col umns-American Consul's
 Ranch Attacked Again.

Mexico City, Aug 31--Assurance that immediate actlon would be taken to protect the foreign residents of Cananea, Sonora, was given Ambassa- dor Henry Lane Wilson when, acting under instructions from the state de partment at Washington, he protested against the withdrawal of the troops.
 Some 2,000 Americans in Cananea regard their plight as precarious, ac- cording to the ambassadors message from Washington. Until two days ago, the government had maintained troops there and the residents and managers of the huge mining interests located at Cananea felt reasonably safe. Since the arrival of the soldiers, rebels under command of Mascarelos and other leaders have drawn close and are sending ahead of them the message that they will soon take pas session of the rich mining camp.
 The government is depeniing large lv in state troops and volunteer or ganizations to restore order in the state of Sonora, although it is pre- sumed that General Huerta soon will have in operation in that region a lnHmber of flying columns detached from his army now located along the line of the Northwestern between Chi huahua and Juarez
 Advices to the American ambassa- dor are that more bridges along the | 3ine of the Southern Pacific between blsuaynas and Noeales have been de | stroyed by rebels Official advices | 1es hn5f from the state and that hunger, thirst and fatigue have made the rebel army pitiable and feeble enemy.
 Rebels in the state of Vera Cruz are displaying the same savage instincts that characterize the Zapatistas in Morelos, Puebla and the state of Mex leo At Estanzuela, station on the Vera Cruz and Pacific railway, a small band hanged a man by the name of Jose Bay to rafter in his house be- cause he refused them money. Death was delayed by repeated lowering of his body to the floor The same band later in the day tortured and killed two other men on neighboring ranch. Another band operating in the same district hanged a boy who was i'll and apparently dying when they found him.
 Reports from Toluca, capital of the state of Mexico. indicate a continual ton of condition almost chaotic in that state, in spite of governmental assurance of improvement
 With the exception of zacualpa and Villa Guerrero. all the villages in the surrounding district are in the power of the rebels and stories of wanton de- struction and sacking have been told.
 Two brothers named Carbujal have offered 10000 pesos for volunteers to protect their property in that state. Two months ago the Zapatistas slaugh- tered another brother of that family.
 In Morelos the Zapaustas have shown renewed activity yesterday sacking Yecapixtla, not far from Cuer- uaVaca
