Explain Why They Left

San Diego Cal, September IA state
ment setting forth their reasons for leav-
ing Mexico was issued today by those
who arrived here aboard the cruiser Buff
falo from the west coast of the southern
republic. The Buffalo brought 1879 refi-
gees who were landed here, the ship pro-
ceeding to San Francisco.
The statement follows:
On Board United States Steamer Buff
falo, September 16 191S-"We, residents
of the Yaqui valley, desire to state the
following facts concerning the exodus Of
the American and other foreign residents
from the Yaqui valley, Sonora, Mexico
on September Z, 1913;
mo uneasness was felt by the Amer
| lean residents until Consul Vail of The
United States located at Guaymas, So
| nora, personally visited Yaqui valley OF
September 6, 1873 accompanied by Lieut.
j. r. Henley of the United States ma
| rines dn uniform) and exhibited a tele-
gram dated Washington, ID. c., August 81
1918, and signed by Secretary of State
Bryan, which stated that the President
earnestly urged all Americans to leave
Mexico and that the United States ship
Buffalo was then waiting at an adjacent
point called Salinas to embark all those
desiring to leave. The consul added his
personal advice that every one avail
themselves of the opportunity and con-
Relying entirely upon these represen-
tations. we have abandoned our homes,
together with real and personal property
of greater lesser value.
Safety Not Menaced
Since about March l. 1913 we have
been without train service or mails, and
for that reason we could not intelligently
Judge for ourselves the necessaies of the
case. Both contending factions in the
present disturbances in Mexico have visit
ed the Yaqui valley, but neither side
had committed any overt act toward for
eigners nor disturbed our homes or prop
erty. They have levied on their own ma
tionality for necessary sustenance almost
entirely, and have only made requests in
few instances on foreign residents, and
then in a formal manner to cover supplies
not available elsewhere. Particularly hay
while the continued disturbed condi-
tions paralyzed business generally, and
made it impossible to realize returns upon
any crops, thereby creating temporary
financial embarra ssment, nothing in the
attitude of either Of the contending parties
made the situation any particular men,
ace to our lives or property
Despite these conditions we were con-
tinuing TO harvest crops and preparing
land for extensive fall planting. knowing
the aptitude of some persons to exagger-
ate facts for momentary personal noto-
riety, this statement is deemed expedient
for all concerned.
1--WE have left Mexico entirely under
the urgency of the United States gov
ernment, feeling that they had complete
knowledge of the situation throughout the
republic of Mexico and not desiring to in
any way embarrass our government, we
have complied promptly with their re-
quest to leave Mexico, thereby suffering
substantial financial loss, and we also feel
that we are therefore justified and are
relying upon the United States govern
ment to protect our Mexican interests
now and in the future"

Zamacona on Wall Street

New York, September 17.-Manuel Zam-
acona, who was variously reported to
have come to this country from Mexico to
obtain loan of s5.00O.000 to finance the
October l obligations of the National Rail
ways of Mexico and to resume negotia-
tions at Washington for his government,
was in the financial district today. In
the offices of the Mexican consulate he
stated his visit to the United States was
purely on private business and that he
was not on any secret mission of the pro-
visional government He also denied he
was seeking loan for the National rail-
ways.
Mr.. Zamacona will remain here an
other week before returning to his ma
tive country.

SPAIN MAY TAKE
PART IN EXPOSITION

Madrid. September 1.-THE Spanish
government has not yet reached a de-
cision with reference to participation in
the Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco. Lack of funds through the
drain on the treasury caused by the Afri-
can war is the chief obstacle, but the
government is still considering the report
drawn up by Marques De La Vega In
clan, who has strongly urged that Spain
be adequately represented. The govern
ment may find a way out of the difficulty
by requesting the large business houses
to donate a sufficient sum for the pur-
pose.

You scarcely pick up a daily

from fifteen to seventeen years
old has disappeared from home
with a strange man she CHANGED
to meet, listening to his wooing.
They remain together, travelling
over the country from city to
city, but the treachery of the
man crops out, the girl is desert
ed, and after a time makes her
way back home. 1t al depends
upon the training of g girl child
as to what she will do. If par

We understand our assistant
overseers have been appointed,
and roads have been divided. The
amount of money given to the
roads near here, will not be suf-
fcient to make a beginning TO-
ward putting them in proper
shape, and by spring again they
will be in worse condition than
at first.
1t does not take one with much
foresight to see thatmaking roads
with the amount of tax we have
will be a dismal failure, and that
the money is thrown away.
Good roads are cheap at most

dear at nothing. Surely our hs'

than this.
