Mexico City July 13.-The American
ambassadors note of protest to the for
eign office against permitting an anti
American demonstration here today had
certain indirect results, although the gov
ernment did not absolutely forbid the
holding of what officials style "a popular
manifestation of patriotism.
A demonstration took place in the capi-
tai this afternoon, but not more than 400
persons participated. There were nc
speeches and few cries against Americans
The line of march was through the prin-
cipal streets and the manifestants halted
in front of a big Japanese store. crying
"Vivas" for Japan. Small silk japanese

Wilson Denies Allegations
government official last night asked
Ambassador Wilson for statement re-
garding the charges that the rebels had
received aid from Americans. The am
bassador denied the truth of the allega-
tion that an American warship at Quay
mas threw the rays of it's searchlights
on the city during recent fighting, en-
abling the rebels to take better aim.
Regarding the charge that the United
States counsel at Matamoras had at
tempted to induce federal troops to join
the rebels who had captured that town,
the ambassador said he had no report on
that incident, but If the consul had vio-
lated the principle of International law
there naturally would be an investigation
by the United States and satisfaction ac-
corded Mexico.
The newspapers in their report of the
amba assadors statement eliminated refer
ence to the Guaymas matter, but printed
the statement regarding the Matamoras
affair. Among the papers there seems d

UNCLE SAM is AIDING

Washington, July 13.-Destitute Amerl-
cans are arriving in the United States on
every boat from Mexican ports. Many OF
them face financial ruin in consequence
OF the series of revolutions which has par
alyzed commercial and Industrial enter
prises and they are leaving the southern
republic with reluctance.
American consuls are empowered TO
draw upon the state department for funds
to bring Americans out of the various
danger zones, and in some instances. not
ably at Torreon, Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson has sent money to be expended by
consuls and consular agents to relieve
actual hunger.
Before Mexico passed through the
travail which commenced with the Ma
dero revolt against the Diaz regime most
of the now INDECENT Americans were en-
gagged In prosperous ranching and mining
enterprises or other commercial pursuits.
While the United States government has
repeatedly warned them to fee and de-
pend upon the government OF the United
States to guarantee a settlement of their
claims against Mexico, the fear of delay
in the adjustment of claims and the haz-
ard of the loss of their property has made
hundreds risk remaining in the revolu-
tion torn country. Within the last month
between 400 and 500 have been brought TO
the United states at government ex-
pense.
San Francisco, July 13.-Details of the
occupation of Durango by Mexican rebels

ing bandits

than his wife.
Dr. J. W. Hurt of this city, who at
tended Crawford during his last Illness,
today issued a statement in which he
said that he had given Crawford med
icine containing morphine and meuconic
acid.
II gave Mr.. Crawford morphine to
alleviate his suffering" said DR.. Hurt.
II also gave him "a cough mixture that
will well account for the presence of
meuconic acid. ! have never testified
anything else
II am not surprised to hear that DR..
Harris reported finding traces of these
drugs in the stomach, but / am sur
Iprised to hear that he says the man

courts to have his will set aside. re-
Gently had the body eXhumed from the
family burying ground at Carroilton,
Ca, and an examination made by DR..
II. f. Harris, secretary board of health.
Dr. Harris testified last week in the
civil suit that he found traces of NOR
phne and meuconic acid, an element
of opium in the stomach of Crawford.
He asserted that he did not believe
death resulted from pneumonia as was
given out at the time of the demise.
"Of course, / deny the whole charge,
said Mrs. Crawford tonight. 1T is just
one thing piled on another to make
me spend my money in lawyers fees
and to humiliate and hound me because
heirs-a -at-law of my husband want more
than their share of the estate and hate
me-"
The estate of the dead man Is valued
at $25o000 Much of 1T is real estate in
this city. His widow, under the terms
of his will. is the chief beneficiary OF
