him what was the matter and the
boy showed them a finger that had

disease. He said it had been sore

looked at it, The guard said he did
not know it, but under pressure ad
mitted that he did know it.
Il haven't known it for more than
two weeks, though he explained.

Will Try to Go Abroad.

Most of the fugitive Mexicans here
say they will endeavor to go abroad.
Many Of them, although rich in lands
and mines and factories and other COM
mercial interests in the interior of the
country, are poor so far as actual
money is convened. being unable to
realize on their investments.
When the news first became known it
was suggested by some of the refugees
that a petition be sent to President
Wilson to postpone the removal of the
troops. This step. however, was aban-
doned because of the belief that such
a request would be useless and also
because some of the Mexicans feared to
affix their names to such document.
The only demonstration of the night
was that headed by few hundred boys,
who procured a Mexican flag and pa
raded the streets shouting Viva Mex
ico" Their enthusiasm was seconded
by the older natives, who watched them
from the sidewalks. The American
soldier patrols made no efforts to- in
terfere with the PROFESSIONS.
