ported that when he left the capital
there were fully 1000 indignant Amer

to this passenger endeavored to do
everything they can to afford shelter
to the women and children who have
left their homes and sought refuge at
the railroad stations.

Mexico City assert that the American
officials in Mexico should provide a
special train or trains on which Amer
