The information as to the massacre
of Americans is not confirmed from
any other source and is considered
doubtful in many quarters.
Vera Cruz is isolated from direct
communication with the interior, but
the sparse news brought here by refu
gees indicates that the state of affairs
is bad and rapidly growing worse Sc
far as Americans are concerned
The refugees arriving here bring
word of intense anti-American feeling
in all directions.
The American military authorities
in Vera Cruz consider the situation OF
Americans in the capital and all over

Five branches Of the city govern.

American occupants. Efforts to per
suade MeXicans to return to at least

that the port has been closed, the Gus

Unless forced by some aggressive

Mexicans, no advance of any descrip
ton will be made by the American

The possibility of such a development
is so remote as to be almost neglk

Boys Escape Through Back Door
When They Realize Extent of
Trouble They Created

At the performance given at the
Broadway Thursday night, commo-
ton became so great that for time
it looked as though there might be
a repetition of the Iriquois disaster
Some boy scouts in the rear seats
got into discussion over the Mcxi-
can situation, and in the heat ofthe
argument, angry passions were per-
mittcd to arise and conditions became
SO suddenly turbulent that rough
house was startled before anybody
knew what it was about. Some dis
satisfied patron of the show orally
expressed a desire that the beligcrcnts
be put out, which expression was mis-
interpreted by lady who was hard
of hearing, and became suddenly
impressed with the erroneous idea
that fire had started and that some
one had said that it should be put out
She acted instantly and cndeavored to
warn the other members of the au-
diCncC, and for few moments it
looked as though Serious panic
would result People crowded to the
front, and in the congestion one little
girl was thrown to the floor and
stood upon by ncshy lady. Mana
ger Doyle, placed himself in front
Of the door and in his convicning
manner was soon able to restore Il
state of quiet. He assured his en-
cited patrons that there was no fire
at all, and no danger, and that all
it amounted to was little scrap be-
tween two youngsters The boys
evidently were brought to realize
the proportions into which the trouble
had developed, and feeling that things
would get warm for them, they left
the premises through the fire escape
exit, and have never been heard
from.

AMERICAN CITI-
ZENSHELD AS
HOSTAGES
Impossible to Enter or Leave
Any of the Interior Mex
lean Cities.
FOUR YANKEES ARE SLAIN
Americans Begged for Passage on
O'Shaughnessy's Train, but
Request is Refused.


City of Mexico, April 27.-Most of
the interior cities of Mexico are I'D.
ing American prisoners as hostages.
With the exception of Charge Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, every member of the
diplomatic party who are safe at Vera
Cruz privately expressed the opinion
that only the early arrival OF troops
and the overthrow of the dictator
Huerta would save the marooned
Americans.
At almost every town between Vera
Cruz and Mexico City Americans are
being held prisoners.
The passage of Shaughnessy's
train from the capital was most dra-
matte. Americans besieged the train,
pleading that they be permitted to ac-
company the fleeing party. Col. RAJ
mon Sarona, assigned by Huerta to
escort Shaughnessy, fatty refused.
Huerta sent 200 soldiers to the en-
bassy to seize the 275 rifles and two
machine guns which were stored there
for the defense OF the American citi.
zens. The American volunteer guards
were prepared to defend their arms,
but on the advice of Shaughnessy
they surrendered the weapons without
resistance.
Americans Beg to Be Taken Away.
Then began the trip for Vera Cruz,
during which the hearts of everyone in
the diplomatic party were to be
touched by the appeals of countrymen
for aid. At the towns of Orizaba,
Cordova and Jalapa, Americans were
crowded about the stations. They
pleaded with the American charge to
be taken aboard his train. OShaugh.
messy was helpless. These stranded
Americans had been taken from trains
bound for Vera Cruz.
At Cordova an American wearing a
British flag stole TO the side Of the
train and handed a note to one of the
consulate employees. This note read:
"Blisser, Erford, Whitcomb and good
many other Americans are being held
IN Jail here. They were taken off a
train and are being held as hostages
In case Americans attack the town.
They want TO know II you can't help"
Americans Barred From Capital.
When O'Shaughnessy left the CAPT.
tai Huerta ordered that no more Amer
leans should be permitted to depart or
enter the city. This order prevents
unprotected Americans in the small
towns seeking what little refuge there
may be in the capital. II also makes
It possible for every small town to
hold the American civilians as host
ages.
Huerta ordered that the homes OF
all Americans be searched for arms
and American residents of all hotels
were stripped Of arms. The protec
torate established by Sir Lionel Car
den, the British ambassador, was un
availing in this matter. as the vindic
tive dictator was determined Ameri
cans should have no means of defense
in case OF an uprising against them
which he will accept as a demonstra
ton Of sympathy and support for
him"
The newspapers have issued the
widest extras. One advises chop
ping up of the dogs"

Besides there were good many
old magazines and two current maya
zines, The Literary Digest and the
Boys Magazine.
The chairman called on Mr.. Har-
dcsty for a speech which was very
interesting. He said that in all the
II years he has lived in Cape Girar-
deau, there has been continually
more or less talk about Public
Library but it has never come as near
to amounting to something as now.
And if the Camp Fire Girls keep
their reading room open for l month
only they will be doing more in that
one month than has been done in
the whole IL years before. He said
that he felt sure, however, that it
will last more than one month and
will before long grow into library
of which the town will be proud.
Mrs. Martin gave splendid talk
in which she showed how we can
see the way the public taste has been
educated along line of amusements
until a Public Library has become
necessary She praised the Camp
Fire Guardians for their faith and
energy in starting this campaign
and urged the older people to stand
back Of them. She thought the plan
of starting with small reading room.
good one for something tangible
brings results much more rapidly than
any amount of agitation on paper.
Mr.. Croker spoke from the view
point of the school, repeating the
need Of some place which would help
keep the boys and girls off the streets.
He said that if the Library Board
so desired he was sure the School
Board would give the use of the
school library during the summer
as it was their plan to keep the
library and play grounds open dur
ing vacation.
DR.. Grissom said that he felt that
the movement which the Camp Fire
Guardians are starting now is the
fruit OF the agitation begun by their
mothers, II years ago, when the
Camp Fire Guardians were probably
and then DR.. Grissom got into deep
water for he started to estimate how
old the Camp Fire Guardians were
II years ago.
The meeting closed with a speech
from the chairman of the temporary
Committee urging them not to think
things were to be dropped until the
new board could organize but that
the temporary treasurer would con-
tinue to receive subscriptions and
Mr. Huters would continue to re.
ceive books.
