And There Are Anti-American
Outbreaks and 0utrages of
Various Kinds
HOTEL GUESTS INSULTED
Refugees Report the American
, Colony There Well Organ
lied for Defense.
fBY ASSOCIATED PRESs.)
WASHINGTON, April "a

In an official report IfoIll
Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz the state department
was informed today that
several Americans we're
placed under arrest in Mex
leo City after being taken
from the refugee train that
carried Charge O'Shaugh-
messy and his party to Vera
Cruz.
j. S. Hunt and his family
were among those arrested.
b. Wilson was taken from
the train at the first station
out Of Mexico City.
Further details as to con-
ditions in Mexico City were
given Consul Canada by the
refugees who have reached
Vera Cruz. They report 2
reign Of terror in the capt.
tai and confirmed the report
of anti-American outbreaks.
A mob entered the Porters
hotel, an American institu-
ton, insulted the guests,
smashed windows and emp
tied the hotel. The guests
were taken to other hotels.
Fhe american club was
attacked and several stores
we're sacked with a loss es-
timated at $4,000 pesos. Con
sui Canada said that the ref
ugees reported the American
colony well organized for de-
Tense.
All foreigners had concen-
trated to Withstand any at
tack. They are we'll armed
but fear an attack by over
whelming mobs. On Tues
day all business houses in
the capital were closed.
Refugees reported that
prior to April %, the Huerta
government had been con-
scripting soldiers securing
1000 by forcible conscrip-
ton in Mexico City on Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday.
On the 22d, it was stated,
Mexicans began to volunteer
for service.
Officers of the war and
navy departments were con-
cerned today over the re-
ports from Vera Cruz that a
Mexican force was prepared
to blow up the railroad
bridges between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City. These
bridges could not be replaced
and temporary arrange
ments for getting trains by
them would be impossible.
The plans of the navy and war
departments for possible opera
ton out Of Vera Cruz hinges on
the possession of the railroad
and it is feared they would be
seriously hampered if the bridg-
es were destroyed. The navy de
partment believes that an expe-
dition out of Vera Cruz along
the railroad could insure the
safety of the bridges but it is
pointed out that this would be
an act of war. This probably
would be the first move in case
war Is actually declared.
Meantime the naval forces in
Vera Cruz must confne their OPP
erations to that city and its i'm
mediate environs.
