Chicago, April 25. Mail advices re-
eeived here from Guayamas. Sonora.
and dated April p, tell Of danger
threatening nearlyA one thousand
Americans along the coast Of Mexico
A special steamer has been char
tered by Nelson Rhoads, ir, manager
of a sugar refinery, to succor those
Americans who may be able to reach
the coast at points between. Guaya-
mas and Mazatlan The steamer was
scheduled to sail from Guyamas Tues
day. 1t is proposed to visit all har-
bors in southern Sonora and north
ern sinaloa to transport any refugees
to Mazatlan.
According to the advices that reach
ed here, 1900 zapatistas are Iooting
and pillaging at Cullacan, capital Of
Sinaloa. Hunger is making the ma
tives desperate and it is stated Amer
can plantations are in danger Of being
ralded.
The situation along the west coast
Of northern Mexico is summed up
about as follows:
The Yaqui Indians are on the war
path IN Sonora, shooting at passan-
ger trains, ranches and small towns
south or Guayamas The southern
portion Of Sonora is in a state OF an-
arehy and small parties OF bandits are
roaming the country piIlaglng the
small places
At Esperanza, where there are sup
posed to be 1850 Americans, all Of the
women and children have been sent
from the couGtry and the men have
armed themselves and prepared for a
siege. Similar conditions prevail at
Navoia, where there are about one
hundred Americans on small farms:
at San Bias and Los Mochis, where
there are seventy-five Americans and
at Navalota, where the Rhoades sugar
refineries still are operating, but the
women and children were sent from
that place several days ago to take
the steamer to San Francisco.
From Navalota there is opportunity
to reach them through the port Of Al
tata, down the coast of Mazatlan.
whence steamers sail to Californian
ports. Mazatlan is reported quiet. al.
though there has been many changes
of government Of late and the absence
Of control in Sinaloa has practically
paralyzed business.

ROADS ARE NOT SAFE

B New York, April 7.-Three special
commissioners from General Olozco,
leader of the Mexican revolutionists,
who are here to present to the
American people the revolutionists
side OF the present trouble in their
country, in statement tonight by
Manuel l.. Lujan, head of the COM
missioner bitterly assailed the ad-
ministraton of President Madero
and declared that his tactics in the
government of Mexico slowly are
wrecking the nation.
Madero is charged with violating
every oath made to the men who
helped him overthrow The reign OF
Diaz. He is charged with the mis-
use of government funds, with MAX
ing it impossible to walk the high
way of Mexico in safety, and with
not protecting the interest of for
eign business and the people of his
own country. r.
Madero. the commissioners de-
clare, was not called to the presi-
dency by the people but was ac-
cepted by the regolution'sts, because
no one else came forward
"To have repudiated him." the
statement says, would have been
fatal for the cause" Although il.
was known "that the man who would
claim the reward was unfit"
General Orozco, the statement
says, is not candidate for the presi-
dency, but intends, upon the estab
lishment of peace, to call an election
when ''for the first time in years
Mexico will enjoy a free ballot to
elect those in whom it has conf
dence."

FLOOD WORKERS FIGHT WITH
HUGE WAVES FROM THE OHI(

Huge waves. thrown up by fifty
mile wind early yesterday morning.,
gave the leyee workers hard fight
for an hour Rollers fully three feet
high. raced across the ten-mile
stretch OF. water on the Kentucky
side and ran over the sea wall with
,frightful velocity.
The city went peacefully to rest
Saturday night, but everyone slept
with an eye open. AT midnight the
wind, which had been blowing from
the Northwest, shifted to the east
and increased in velocity. The first
gust threw up wave that scared
many OF the workers badly They
shouted a warning and called for aid.
Within few minutes, hundreds Of
workers were on the spot carrying
sandbags, boards and anything that
would build the dixie high enough to
break the waves.
After an hours hard work the en-
bankment was raised high enough TO
resist the water but watchful eye
was kept on the bad places and to-
day the bulkhead was built high
enough to catch another such blow.
During the heavy wind of yester-
day morning, one little negro hand
led sandbags as fast as thirty men
could throw them to him. He took
up a perIlous position on the sea
wall and moved along with the
crowd. White men, directing the
laying of the sacks, declare this lit
tie negro has worked like two men
ever since the water trouble started
