Tourists, Who Escaped from
War Zone, Relate Experiences.

The Ward liner MORO Castle came into
port yesterday from Vera Cruz. bringing
six American tourists VINO chanced to be
in Mexico during the recent revolt
against Madero. According to their
stories, the reports OF the severity OF the
fghting and the Indifference Of both
sides toward the protection OF foreigners
were far from exaggerated.
The homecomers were glad TO get out
OF Mexico, but as soon az the Moro
Castle landed them in Brooklyn they
crossed over TO the Manhattan side OF
the North River ana embarked on the
Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm. which sailed for
Colon and other ports in the Caribbean.
The tourists were George Welsh and

to the railway station under guard Of
several Americans from the American
Consulate.

The railway station was finally reached
after the driver had been thrown and

suburbs several shots went into the cars.
One child was shot through the arm aud
face and several others were slightly
wounded.
The party, said they saw women and
children lying dead in the streets Of
Mexico City. and that there was great
scarcity Of food. AT one time the tourists
had TO pay as nigh as % cents for one
egg.

shot at several times on his way to the

AMERICANS STAY
MEXICAN IN ARIZONA
Stone One TO Death in Race War
Few Miles From Globe.

Globe, Ariz., May 12.-One man was
stoned to death and another seriously
hurt in a race war at Miami, six miles
from Globe, between Americans and
Mexicans. A crowd of Americans
were the aggressors and three of them
are in the county Jail here. A gang OF
Americans determined to run the
Mexicans out of the town and the first
they encountered were Jose Peres and
M. Ortez. The Mexicans were chased
through the streets until they dropped
with broken heads. Peres died soor
afterwards and Oretz was taken to 8
hospital.
A free-for-all fight, in which about
fifty men took part, followed and not
until the arrival of Sheriff Frank
Haynes and a posse from Globe did
the rioting cease. The officers were
threatened by the mob, but with
drawn revolvers they made their way
through the mob and arrested the al.
legged ringleaders.
