AMERICANS ARE HARAssED.
Extreme agitation exists among the
American and other foreign citizens
along the line of the Mexican North
! western railroad as a result of the re-
treat of the insurgent army in that
direction. No serious trouble is ex-
irected, as long as the United States
adheres to its present policy of strict
neutrality and the Mexican armies
c0ntine themselves to commanderipg
necessary supplies and transporta-
tiOn.

! PIE in that section of Mexico now are
! undergoing the same annoyance and
| distress that was suffered for many
weeks by the foreign element in the
state OF Chihuahua along the line OF
the Mexican Central railroad. 1t is
| part OF the fortunes of war and so
long as Americans do not suffer ac-
tual violence they must rest content
with a knowledge that they will be
amply repaid for any pecuniary loss
inflicted on them as a result of the
rebellion.
