Among American residents in Me!
lco the urgent warning from tn
United States government that the
should leave the country immediatel
at first caused anxiety, in some case
approaching CONSERVATION, and late
a general determination to abide
the governments injunction, no ma
ter what the monetary cost. There wi
doubtless be a great exodus from tt
republic in the next few days unleE
the warning is rescinded by reason
q prospective settlement Of the mol
or less strained relations,
Americans here are at loss
Know how to interpret the peremptol
warning issued by President Wilsc
to leave the republic. Somewhat I
assured by the declaration that armt
intervention is not intended, they a
now wondering whether there is a hi
den meaning back OF the latest war
ing.
The American consulate gener
was crowded throughout the d.
by Americans of all classes see
