had decided to depart from this port
on board the German cruiser, Dres-

the Dresden will proceed to Jamaica
but this has not been officially an

None of the refugees will be accom-

Bristol, which has been utilized as a
refuge by many OF the fugitives here.
Owing to their unsuccessful effort to
charter the steamer, City OF Mexico,
for the voyage to Jamaica and for
their unwillingness to accept the Mex
lean gunboat, Bravo, about forty Of
the fugitiyes will proceed on the City
OF Mexico as ordinary passengers to
Galveston.
1t is thought probable that the gum
boat, Bravo, may eventually be used
to carry still others OF the fugitives

The Catholics are awaiting the out

Soon after the occupation OF Nuevo
Laredo by the Constitutionalists under
Major Sato, he ordered the occupation
OF the Catholic church. The priest,
Father. Iglesias, was deported to the
American side. The church since has

Constitutionalist commander, to give the

nor will the priest be permitted to re-
turn to the city.
Catholic residents are without re-
ligious services and the only clerical
services they can obtain are those OF
priests from the American side.
