REFUGEES LEAVE MEXICO
Train of Fourteen Cars Takes For
eisners from Mexico City to
Vera Cruz.

Neru Cruz-A refuge train of four
teen cars from Mexico City, carrying
$50 Americans. 100 Germans, 900
Spaniards and MeXicans and so Eng
iishmen arrived here.
The exodus from the capital was ar
ranged through the joint action Of the
British and German diplomatic Off
Cials with the war office. The train
reached the Mexican Outposts at Ia
joria at noon, where it was detained
for two hours while search was
made by the MeXicans for railroad Of
fcials, four of whom were arrested
and held until General Mas a tSole-
dad was communicated with and their
release ordered.
About three miles from Vera Cruz,
a section of track nearly a mile long
was found torn up. The refugees car
ried their baggage to train on the
Vera Cruz end of the track, which the
British, cooperating with the Ameri-
cans had sent out to meet the train
from Mexico City. A detachment of
British marines, unarmed, acted as
escort to the refugees on this last
stage of their journey to Vera Cruz.
From the refugees it was learned
that on Wednesday there was a repe-
tition of street demonstrations by mobs
such as had also occurred earlier in
the week. In Cinco de Mayo avenue,
one of the principal streetsti an Amer
lean flag was thrown to the ground in
front Of a procession and trampled
over by the demonstrators. 1t was
then dragged out and the performance
repeated. Later it was torn to shreds
amid the yells of the crowd and hand
clippings from spectators in windows
and balconies.
A small gathering of Mexicans at
the American embassy corner listened
to speeches from street orators.

Imprisoned Company Men Released
From Mine-The Strikers Capital"
Captured in BioodIess Fight.

Trinidad, Colo.-State troops under
command of Adjutant General John
Chase advanced toward Ludlow, after
occupying Lynn and Aguilar without
resistance by the warning strikers.
At Aguiar the militiamen released the
company men imprisoned in the EN-
pire and Southwestern mines since
Wednesday.
The bloodless capture of the strikers
capital at Aguilar was effected several
hours after brief skirmish near Bun
ker Hill, on the way from Walsenburg.
This fight was between an advance
force of about seventy mounted mill
tiamen and a party of strikers. After
a brisk exchange of shots, with no
casualties reported, the strikers re
treated The main body of state
troops soon afterwards reached Lynn
No strikers were found there or at
Aguiar.
The territory into which state troops
penetrated and which for two days
has been controlled by the strikers, eX-

fifteen miles. At its widest point it
is perhaps four miles or more wide
The zone is bounded on the south by
Ludlow. On the north is Rouse, where
strongly fortified mine of the Colo

effective barrier. To the southwest is
the Hastings canyon, where the strik-

HUEETA HAS ASKED U. S. TO RE.
CALL O'SAAUGHNESS FROM
MEXICO CITY.
Mexican Representative to Leave v.
S. at Once-Japan Announces
Neutrality.

WaShington.-f1uer requested the
United States to withdraw Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, American charge DAT
flares at Mexico City, and he has re,
ceived his passports and left for Vera
Cruz.
Mexican Charge d'Affaires Algara,
credited to the United States, has been
given his passports and left for Can
ada.
The reported action Of General Huer-
ia in asking the withdrawal of Mr..
Shaughnessy, the American charge
of embassy in Mexico City, and in
structing Senior Algara, the Mexican
charge of embassy here, to demand
his passports, technically constitutes a
complete breach of diplomatic relations
between the United States govern
men and the de facto government
of General Huerta, though whether
Secretary Bryan is willing to regard it
as more than the act of an individual
and not Of the actual government of
Mexico, remains to be seen.
There is no precedent for a refusal
to aCcede to the demand for pass
ports nor to fail to withdraw diplo-
matic representative upon demand
of an established government, but the
present situation, involving as it does
a de facto government, which the Unit
ed Sta ties has not recognized, never be-
fore has arisen.
1t is presumed that General Huerta
will promptly serve notice upon the
powers. through the Mexican diplo-
matte representatives abroad of such
a development in order that they
might issue customary proclamations
of neutrality should they care to do
SO. Such recamations would have
some effect upon American commerce
and upon the right of the United States
government to secure ships and NUM-
tions of war from abroad.
Tokio-Japanese government off
cials declared that the attitude of the
Japanese government in the Mexican
situation was naturally one of strict
neutrality. 1t was pointed out that
the japanese warship IdZumo was now
at Guaymas on the Pacific coast and
could arrange for the embarkation of
japanese residents in Mexico should
such step become necessary.
