Washington, May 6.-The situation

that president Wilson's present re-

General Villa, through whom he hopes

REFUGEES TELL
HORROR STORIES
Outrages Committed on Wo-

Mexicans Related.
MALTREAT CHILDREN
Two ShOpe Girls Suffer Treatment
Worse Than Death After Father
Is Slain and Mother Beaten
at Medina.
MALTREAT CHILDREN

New Orleans, May 6.-Almost unbe-
lievable stories of outrages on women
committed by MeiXcans, were told to-
day at the quarantine station by refu-
gees from the Medina agricultural
colonly, where about 100 Americans
had been penned in, hourly in danger
of death or torture, until rescued and
brought to this country by the Mon
terey and other ships.
Henry NJ. Pierce, Monterey pas
senger from Medina, whose home is
in Conton, Texas, told this story of a
Mexican crime that he said was typi-
cal of the assaults of the Mexican
soldiers in that locality:
civilian Shope," Mr.. Pierce said
"'lived in Medina with his wife pQd
two daughters, aged 8 and II years.
Shope was shot by Mexicans, his
wife brutally beaten and the two girls
made to suffer treatment worse than
death. They had to be taken to the
Terra Blanco hospital to save their
lives.
Nothing was done to bring the Of
tenders to justice. The mother finally
escaped from the country with her
two girls and got on ship that went
to California. This happened long be-
fore the Tampico affair"
Mrs. A. F. IMeisner and her eight
children are among the Monterey's
refugees. She related that her whole
family were thrown into a vile prison
at Cardoba, held there two days prac-
tically without food fit to be eaten and
had all their clothes takes away.
When they boarded the Monterey at
Vera Cruz they were without shoes
and their only clothing was made up
of rags, patched together.
