New York, Aug 30.--Sebastian Ca
macho, president of the Mexican sen
ate, has sent a telegram to James A
Scrimser of New York, president OF
the Mexican Telegraph company, re
questing him to protest to President
Wilson against the withdrawal oil
American citizens from Mexico. The
message, made public here today, de-
clares that the American colony in
Mexico lis satisfied and tranquil" and
that tremendous damages" will re-
suit from it's withdrawal.
There is great alarm here reads
the telegram, "over the American gov.
ernments order for the withdrawal OF
all citizens of the United States resid-
ing here You will understand that
there is no reason for this order.
The American colony of this repub.
lie is one of the most numerous of
those among us. In its totality and
with very few exceptions, it is salts
fed and tranquil, dedicated to its work
and attending to the necessities of its
life, being respected and esteemed
throughout the country. 1t would be
seriously prejudiced in its welfare and
it's financial interests, were 1t to aban-
don country in which it was esteem
ed, and where it has acquired numer-
Gus and cordial relations.
"The present government of Mexico
is constitutional government, whose
public powers in most part have been
ate, in the supreme court of justice
and in the public offices in all parts,
many of the public functionaries have
been figuring first with the govern
ment headed by General Diaz, later
with that of Mr.. Madero. Very few ex-
elusive privileges have been granted
by the present government, which lat
ter is advancing daily in the re-estab-
l'Shment of peace in the greater part
of the ma ational territory. The army
an armament and a command truly
notable. through which it has triumph
ed and continues triumphing in the
daily combats with the enemy who
are disappearing or submitting to the
legitimate authority of the republic.
Il 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 reach
es 10000, | am sure, will suffer enor-
nous damage to its interests and its
wellbeing should its members violent
ly abandon a country, in which, | re-
peat, they are considered and esteem
ed on all sides
81 beg that you will acquaint Presi-
dent Wilson with what l have stated,
calling his illustrious attention to the
tremendous damages which will result
from his determination, for which, in
all loyalty, l state there is no reason /,
and which undoubtedly has been die /
lated against the sentiments of justice. |
of right and of human consideration. /
not by the elevated sentiments of a
man as distinguished as the present
president of the United States, but !
through political ignorance of what is
actually transpiring in Mexico.
Senor Camacho also telegraphed
John w. DeKay of New York. who
has large interests in Mexico, as fol-
ows
Great uneasiness here today on ac-
count of Wilson's orders that all
Americans leave the republic. This is
