 Yaeger, the club manager, who also is veteran of the American civil war. All officials of the Mercantile Banking company and the Mexico City Banking

 l A number of American women in the capital, who otherwise might have come to Vera Cruz on the refugee train, re- | fused to leave their husbands. The order
 against leaving Mexico City appears not
 to have applied to them.
 | Proof that General Huerta regards his country at war with the United States is contained in the note sent by Foreign Minister Rojas to Nelson O'Shaughnessy, ordering the American charge d'affaires l from the country. The note says: According to international law, acts of the armed forces of the United States which I do not care to qualify in this
 note out of deference to the fact that your honor personally has observed toward the Mexican people and government most strictly correct conduct so far has
 been possible to you in your character as the representative of a government with which such serious difficulties as those existing have arisen, must be considered

 Rear Admiral Fletcher cabled under date of 10 D. m. last night as follows:
 "Aga'n conferi sd with mayor and To- cal officials relative to the renewal ot shooting at our men. and informed them that it had to stop. and that orders had been given for extreme measures to be taken tonight if q s,seie shot is fired i; also of the proclamation requiring every one in Vera Cruz to hand in all weapons before F o'clock tomorrow Sunday un- der severe penalty"

 Latin-A American diplomatists look on the mediation proceedings as of far-reaeh1ng importance. They believe the South American republics acted in since good will to the United States and in sympathy for Mexico. and that they were prompted to make their proffer wholly disinterest- edly in an effort to maintain ''the cordial ity and union which always have sur rounded the relations of the governments and peoples of America"
 The joint action of the governments Of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. 1t was learned today, had its inception on the occupation by the United States of Vera Cruz. It is pointed out that their action was entirely voluntary. Whether their efforts succeed or not officials generally believe the moral effect will be tremen- dous throughout the whole of Latin America.
 Today the mediators were in conference dic tchtdtiN z until Huerta replies to the communica- tion forwarded last night, Plans for fur ther action were being considered by the mediators, but no intination of their character was disclosed.
 The mediators found their colleagues in the Latin American diplomatic corps deeply gratified at the attitude assumed by the United States through it's prompt acceptance of the mediatlons offer.

MANY INQUIRIES
 FOR INFORMATION

The consulate is receiving upward of 100 telegrams a day through the state department and from individuals ask ing for information about American res
 idents. Consul Canada has created a spe- cial bureau to make such investigations and to answer telegrams.
 Both the navy and state departments are eager for official news and the fleet and the consular officer nave been bom- barded with orders to keep these de- partments advised of even minute de-
 tails, This official information added to the mass of private messages and the enormous volume of press matter filed by 30 or more newspaper corre- spondents, has resulted in so clogging the three cables sending to the out side world that its transmission, except with many hours delay, is virtually inn possible. Twenty more correspondents are said to be on their way here with the soldier transports. and few more are coming from New York.
 Tine food supply problem must be re- lieved soon and for this reason plans are making to open the Alvardo rail- road, a short line running south into the garden and poultry district. The restau- rants have cut down their list to soup piece of meat and coffee, and srharges have been increased The hotels are crowded to their capacity and the refu- gees are finding difficulty in securing quarters.
 No material change has been made in the disposition of American forces with in the city or on the outside lines. Maj Smedley D, Butler still is in command of the line between the city and General Mass forces. The Mexicans are believed to be short of ammunition.

Lieutenant Bellinger made a scout ing trip today in hydro-aeroplane over the antigua and San Francisco bridges on the line of yInteroceanic. the narrnw

 Up to teh present Consul Canada ascer-
 tains that no American in his consular

 threats of execution have been made.

 Sir Christopher Cradock through Sir Lionel Garden, who has resumed charge of the British embassy at the capital, is urging President Huerta to permit the departure of all foreigners from Mexico City and it is considered possible that one or two more trains at least will be permitted to pass through But there appears a fair chance that those who have fallen under the displeasure of Hu- erta and are in the custody of his forces will be held.
 Lieut.. Frank J. Fletcher of the battle ship Florida, is in charge of the train which is being run from Vera Cruz to the break in the road. and on every out going trip the train carryes small de- tachment of armed men in addition to a machine gun.
