NO DEAD ARE REPORTED
So Far as Officially Known American
Refugees Have Not Been Killed.

Washington. April Dispatches
20 the state and navy departments re.
ported the safe departure OF nearly
1000 American refugees from points
in the interior OF Mexico TO ports
where they are assured OF transporta.
tion to the United States.
Most encouraging OF all was the
news that fifty had reached Vera Cruz
from Mexico City and that 25O were
on the way. From the French EN-.
bassy came the information that there
had been disorders at the Mexican
capital but that quiet had been re.
stored.
Secretary Bryan announced that so
far as the state department was in.
formed no American had been killed
or wounded in Mexico City since the
landing OF marines at Vera Cruz last
Tuesday.
The party OF twenty Americans who
had been taken from a train and re-
tanned at Cordoba were reported safe
by Consul Canada.
The White House made public a re.
port from Consul Hanna at Monterey
teeming with praise for the treatment
accorded Americans by the Constitu.
tonalists since their seizure of that
city. This dispatch came from Consul
Canada at Vera Cruz:
Man who arrived from Cordoba re.
ports that the Americans detained at
that place are undoubtedly being we'll
treated. The women are at hotel
and men in the commandments. No
American property in Cordoba has
been disturbed"
The state department gave out this
statement on the condition OF ref.
ugees at Nogales, ParaI, Hermosillo
and other points In the interior OF
Mexico:
ut is reported that 90 per cent of
all Americans in the Paral district
are now en- route. IL is added that the
authorities have received instructions
TO give Americans all possible protec
tion.

ANTI-HUERTA PLOT IN AIR
Gsmboa Following in Mexico City
Ready 70 Gust Him.


Vera Cruz, April 2S.-Victoriano
Huerta will voluntarily abdicate or
will be forced out with violence with
in few days, according TO American
refugees who arrived on special
train from the capital.
FREDERICK Gamboa, former minister
OF foreign affairs, once governor Of
Hucatan and candidate of the Catho-
lie party at Huerta's election. IS
named as the man TO supplant him.
According TO the refugees ani.
Huerta sentiment has so crystaIlized
at the capital that on Saturday the
conspirators made an attempt 70 oust
the dictator but failed They do not
go into details and admit that they
have only rumor Of IL.
They are certain, however. that
Huerta is becoming more and more
unpopular because the better class
OF MeKicans is finding out that the
administration has deliberately de
ceiyed them with regard to the action
OF the United States.
The truth about Vera Cruz has
reached the capital and has aided fin
bringing about a revulsion OF senti.
ment or at least an abatement OF the
patriotic frenzy. They know that the
Americans did not butcher Mexican
men, women and children when they
occupied the town; they know also
that Spain is not at war with the Unit.
ed States.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the
anti-Huerta plots center about the
strong faction which in tho last week

would be the attitude OF Carranza.
There were indications that the
United States will not daily long with
Carranza on this subject II would
not surprise many here II a refusal
by Carranza would be met by this
government with overtures to villa.
Villa has been outspoken in his ef-
forts TO please the administration and
to placate the feeling that has been
aroused in northern Mexico as a re-
suit OF the seizure of Vera Cruz. Car

may como to the border following the
conference at chihuahua between Car

Carranza has informed tho United

From Chihuahua came the report
that while villa has been on the
border Carranza odheronts have been

stories that he IS making an alliance

make slaves OF Mexicans.
