was received saying that the bandit
Zapata and his men were coming. II
was stated that the brutal. barbarous
Zspatistas would be turned loose IN the

0utrages Against Americans.
The mobs had repeatedly attempted
to set fire to the American embassy,
Burns said
All who escaped with Burns assumed
names Of British subjects and wore
British flags for protection. All along
the route they heard of outrages
against Americans. The refugees

Defends Embassy
From Raging Mob
Louis D'Antin, of O'Shaughnessys Staff, Talks Over
Telephone as Looting Crowd Attack Ameri-
can Building in Mexico City.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April 26-"There is mob
around the embassy, but they have got to kill before
they get in.''
These words spoken over the telephone by Louis
DAntn, legal adviser of the American embassy at Mex
leo City, comprise the latest received here DAnn
was speaking to W. H. Burns, who called him the tele-
phone from the railroad station to tell him that the last
refugee train about to leave and mpored him to CO.
"They are threatening to burn the building" said
DAntin the telephone to Burns "but have eighty
rifles and two machine guns which hid from Huerta's
agents. and we will fight the devils to the last am going
to stay right here'
The Washington times., 1914-04-26

Charge O'Shaughnessy left D'Antin
in charge of the building and the ar
chives of the embassy.
''D'Antin has proved the hero of the
day." said Burns. HE has a few
friends there with him and I believe
he is determined to defend the Ameri-
can headquarters as long as he is able
to fire at the mob. The drunken. half
crazy looting soldiers will stop at moth
ing.
Il begged D'Antin to leave. but he
would not listen to such an idea. He
said he had been left in charge of the
American embassy and that he would
not desert his post, under any cir
cumstances.
"Huerta thought his men got all
the guns out of the embassy. bur Dan
tin succeeded In hiding eighty rifles
and two machine guns, which were
taken apart. They were secreted in
the Easement.
"D'Antin had the guns brought up
stairs and mounted, and he was de-
termined to fight If need be. The rag
ing rlobs had chosen the embassy as
their chief mark and 1t seemed q fool
hardy thing for him to do, to stay, but
he was determined.
THE last words he said to me were:
They've got to kill me before they
get in"
