FEELING IN CAPITAL THAT LOSS

DAMAGE.

New York, Aug. 30-Sebastian Ca
macho, president Of the Mexican SEN
ate, mas sent a telegram to James A.
scrysmer Of New York, president Of
the Mexican Telegraph company re-
questing him to protest to President
Wilson again the withdrawal of Am
erioan citizens from Mexico. The
message, made public here today, de-
olares that the American colony in
Mexico, is satisfied and Tranquil" !" and
that tremendous damages will result
from its withdrawal.
There is great alarm here reads
the telegram .oyer the American gov-
ernment's order for the withdrawal
off ali citizens Of the United States
residing here. You will understand
that there is no reason for this order.
The American colony of this re-
public is one Of the most numerous of
those among us In its totality and
with very few exceptions 1t is Hatiss
fed and tranquil, dedicated to it's
work and attending to the necessities
of it's life, being respected and esteem
ed Throughout the country. 1t would
be seriously prejudicing in it's vel
fare and its financial interests were
it to abandon a country in which it
is considered and esteemed and where
it has acquired numerous and cordial
relations.
The present government Of Mexico
is constitutional government whose
public powers in most part have been
in operation since 1919 and, in the
senate, in the supreme court Of JUS
tice and in the public offices in all
parts, many of the public function
aries have been figuring first with the
government headed by General Diaz,
later with that Of Madero Very
few exclusive privileges have been
granted by the present government,
which latter is advancing daily in the
re-establishment Of peace in the great
er part of the national territory
"The army now counts $4,000 men
with an armament and a command
truly notable, through which it has
triumphed and continues triumphing
in the daily combats with the enemy,
who are disappearing or submitting to-
the legitimate authority Of the re-
public.
II do not doubt that the president
of the United States and his truly just
government will consult with the prin-
cipal members Of its colony here re-
garding the truth Of what say.
"The American colony, which
reaches 10000 persons, I am sure,
will suffer enormous damage to its
interests and its well-being should its
members violently abandon coun-
try in which, repeat, they are con
sidered and esteemed on all sides,
Il beg that you will acquaint Presi-
dent Wilson with what have stated,
calling his illustrious attention to
the tremendous damages which will
will result from his determination for
which, in all loyalty, l state there is
no reason, and which undoubtedly
should be dictated against the senti- I
ments Of justice, Of right and Of hui
man consideration, not by the eleyat- 4
ed sentiments Of a man as distinguish
ed as the president Of the United
States but through political ignorance
Of what is actually transpiring in Mex
leo"
