LAREDO. TEXAS. Nov. 3o.---In an
attempt to stop the exodus Of wealthy
Mexicans from Mexico. q startling
story of negro uprisings In Texas, and
OF the flight OF thousands OF Amer
leans and Mexlcans from Texas into
Mexico for safety has been published
In Ell Nottciero, the leading newn~
paper of Monterey. and by papers In
other cities, supposedly at the dicta-
ton of the Mexican government.
Copies of Eel Noticiero have been
received here containing the sens4-
tional article, which saysNthe negroes
of Texas. enraged by the burning
alive of members of their race, had
risen in revolt following the arrest
of some negroes OF the educated class.

plots" reign Of terror is depicted, =
specific example being the revolt Of
battalion c, of the negroes stationed
at Florence. Texas, who were Joined
by over three thousand Texas negroes.
who proceeded TO destroy the railroad
between San Antonio ana Corpus
Christi, afterwards footing several
small stores which they encountered
on the way, and burning several
houses"
Conditions became so alarming. the
article states, that President Wilson
ordered Governor ColQuitt to issue 4
decree prohibiting Mexicans from
leaving for Mexico. which they were
doing in large numbers together with
thousands OF Texans. The American
flight was so great, In fact, that the
federal garrison at Nueva Laredo had
TO be increased to hold back he thous-s
ands who were fleeing to Mexico for
safety.

George Washington pulled out into
the North river that the age old smile

Mrs. Sayre's opinion, Is bridal couple,
particularly when the searchers are
members of the New York camera
squad.
While the camera men and the
movie" operators were standing at
the gangplank of the George Wash

planned to the president yesterday,
and waiting for the arrival Of the
presidential party. the newly welded
pair stood among them without MAX
ing the slightest effort to conceal their
identity. Mr.. Sayre even chatted with
one of the photographers, but the
couple went unrecognized. After the
president had come on board the ship
he found his way TO the suite engaged
for the travellers. and moment
later in they trailed also.
Where were you all the time ?"
asked the president.
"Oh, we came over In the tube, and
we were standing among the Pho

All of which Is interesting, as well
