Ell Paso, Tex. June 1.-Amertcan

rapidly as train service will permit.
The warning from Washington sever
al weeks ago for Americans to remove

consul at Chihuahua.
Passengers who arrived on the

assertions today that even in the long
period Of isolation which Chihuahua
suffered during the Madero revolution
no such perilous conditions of de-
moralized business prospects existed
for foreigners as are today spreading
alarm through northern Mexico.
