AMERICAN REFUGEES ESCAPE
DEATH IN WESTERN MEXICO
Reach Diego German Steamer and Give Account of In
suits, Threats and Pers-Were Prominent in Business
Circles of Guadaajara, colima and Manzanlo.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 2.-Driven
from their homes by an anti-Ameri-
| can outbreak, the result of the land
ing of American marines at Vera
Cruz, 259 refugees from Mexico
reached here yesterday on board the
German steamer Marie, which left
the Mexican port of Manzanillo
April 25.
| The majority of the refugees are
from Guadalajara and tributary ter
ritory, the others coming from Colima
and Manzanillo. The feeling against
| Americans was so intense that the
majority of the refugees from Guada-
lajara and Colima were forced to seek
the protection of the British CONSUL
| ate officers in those cities. Anti
American demonstrations were held
| at frequent intervals, the Mexican
press was given over to the most
| alarming reports, insults were hurled
at Americansin the streets, and
threats of wholesale assassination
were made.
Antonio del Gadilla, governor of the
State of Colima, concluded a speech
melting Mexicans to take up arms
with the exclamation: Death to the
Americans"
In Guadalajara, H. L. Percy, Los
Angeles mining man, entering store
there to make purchases, was chased
out by the Mexican proprietor. In
the street, the Mexican yelled;
"Mexicans, here is a Yankee. XIII
him"
A mob took after Percy and he was
forced to run for his life. he nnally
gained the hotel where 100 other
Americans were waiting to take the
train for Manzanillo.
While refugees from GuaoalaJara
were MT the wharf waiting to get
their baggage off a vessel thought TO
be an American warship was sighted.
Great excitement resulted and

Guadalajara and Colima, but the sol
diers made no effort to stop anti
American demonstrations at the sta

searched by officers and all firearms
and silver money in their possession
were confiscated. While one of the

felt safe when he went aboard the
steamship Texan. bound for Philadel-
phia.
On the Texan, which locked in
Philadelphia last night, were eight
other refugees and two rescued fish,
ermen. -Four of the refugees were
women. Besides Mr.. Gilbert were

England; Frank Province, of Texas;

On the way north the Texan picked

seaman of the schooner Hatteras.
from Gloucester, Mass. The men left
the vessel to fish, and had been
driven off by tide and wind. Twice
they attempted to land at points
along the coast, but were driven back
by Mexican soldiers. They had been
without food or water for fifty-one
hours when picked up.

and burned and insults and threats
of death were shouted at the I'M
armed Americans. The trains we're
repeatedly stoned.
The American refugees believed
that a transport or other vessel sent
by the American government would
meet them at Manzanillo, but found
they were mistaken.
The German steamer Marie, TO-
Chinese company for transportation
of Chinese coolies and having 2S2
Chinese on board, was the only for
eign vessel in the harbor. Captain
Davidson unhesitatingiy placed his
ship at the disposal of the Ameri-
cans when informed that their lives
were In danger, exacting no agree
ment as to payment for service.
Originally a freighter, the coolies
are carried in the holds of the Marie.
The forward hold was cleared of
leans, and those unable to find quar-
tiers there disposed themselves as best
they could on the deck.
The Colima and Manzanillo refu-
gees went aboard the steamer on
April % and the Guadalajara refugees
on April "a and 25. On orders from
the German consul at Colima, who
was informed by the Mexican au-
thorities that no more trains would
be run to Manzanillo, Captain David
son left port on the evening of April
25.
About eighty-five Americans, many
of them at mining camps, remained in
the Guadalajara and Manzanillo con-
sular districts when the others left.
Twenty were at the camp of the Gin
co Mines Company. an enterprise
headed by Judge j. w Gerard, Amer
lean ambassador to Germany. There
were Americans at the Amparo. Ell
Favor, Casodos Mololoa, Espara and
Mirador mining camps, all controlled
by American companies. When the
refugees left Manzanillo that port
was being evacuated and tunnels and
bridges on the railroad line to Man
zanillo had been mined preparatory
to destroying them in the event of an
American invasion.

called for a vote. A hush swept the
crowded floor as Speaker Clark an
nounced a vote on the third reading
and engrossment of the bill. -
Republican Leader Mann demanded

the bill was forced on preliminary
legislative stage. The administra-

however. and the bill was advanced
through the third reading.
The round Of cheers and applause
greeted the announcement OF this
vote, and scarcely had il subslded
when Representative o 'Shaughnessy OF
Rhode Island presented the motion
TO recommit the bill, prepared by con
ference OF leaders opposed TO the
measure. On this motion, with its
reservation of the right of the United
States to control the Panama canal
tolls, the antirepeal forces polled their
largest vote, The motion was de-
feated. o32 to 176.
This defeat marked the last rally Of
