Business Suspended.

Stories OF occasional robbery and loot
ing by small mobs were reported today,
but Tor the most part the criminal as
well as the law-abidinG element were
too terrified by the incidents OF the last
two days to do anything but seek places
of safety. Business houses, banks and
restaurants are closed and not even a
railway ticket is TO be bought In the up
town oftices.
The Offices OF the cable company have
been kept open throughout the lighting
however, even when tho shrapnel was
beating In on all siles. When a shell
tore a gaping hole in the iron shutters
over the windows. the force of Mexican
operators continued without interruption

tables not five feet away
The residents OF Gore court evacuated
only after two shells had burst into the
big apartment house.
Dozens OF buildings show great Jagged
holes, broken cornlces and torn-of cor

mos; terrible bombardment any city In
North America has been subjected 10
since the adoption of modern high power
cannon. In some streets the overhead
wires dangle from posts, the FIRE from
one side or the other having sheared

II is the feeling OF the administration
that these plans embody all that can

zones at ports where they lie, In which
Americans and other foreigners In Mexico
may find safety.
II has been suggested in some quarters
that 10 land troops in Mexico would be
such an act OF war as can be justified
only with the approval Of congress. Many
military officers fall to see any distinc
ton between such landing OF troops on
foreign soil In case Of anarchy, and the
employment of marines for the same
purpose, as uas done IN Nicaragua re-

Situation Difficult.

Altogether, IL Is apparent That the ad-
ministrat IS likely to tlnd il very dllf,
cult to adhere strictly to this declared
policy of interrogation, II the situa :
tion In the City of Mexico Is not materi-
ally changed for the better IN very
short time.
To add to the difficulty OF keeping in
close touch with the situation, word came
to the state department late today from
Consul Garrett at Laredo Tex. that all
wires were down south OF Monterey and
that communication between Laredo and
that point could be had only by way OF
MIer a complete severance OF tele-
graphic communication between the
United States and Its embassy IN the
City OF Mexico at this critical juncture
easily might bring about a change in
policy on the part OF the administration
at least to the extent OF opening up a
line OF communication between the MeXi-
can capital and Admiral F1etchers ships
