The Spanish governor OF West Florida,

REFUGEE TRAIN

Fourteen Cars Filled With

train for fourteen cars from Mexico
City, carrying $50 Americans, 100 Ger
mans, 800 Spaniards and Mexicans
and so Englishmen arrived here last
evening.
The exodus from the capital was ar
ranged through the joint action of the
British and German diplomatic Off
Gals with the war office. The train
reached the Mexican outposts at Te-
juria' at noon, where IL was detained
for two hours while a search was
made by the Mexicans for railroad Of
ficials four of whom were arrested
and held until General Mas at Sole
dad. was communicated with and their
release ordered
About three miles from Vera Cruz,
section of track nearly a mile long
was found torn up. The refugees car
ried their baggage to a train on the
Vera Cruz end of the break, which the
cans, had sent out to meet the train
from Mexico City. A detachment of
British marines, unarmed, acted as es-
cort to the refugees on this last. stage
of their journey to Vera Cruz.
From these refugees it was learned
that on Wednesday there was a re-
petition of street demonstrations by
mobs such as had also occurred earlier
In the week. In Cinceo de Mayo ave-
nue.. one of the principal streets, an
American flag was thrown to the
ground in front of a procession and
trampled over by the demonstrators.
1t was then dragged out and the per-
Torrance 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 Tuesday
night listened to speeches from street
orators. The crowd, however, was or
derby. probably because a heavy guard
of police was on duty there.

shattered many of the windows in the
club house and in adjoining properties,
belonging to Americans.
Until 2 o'clock in the morning,
bands of excited MeXicans marched
through the streets singing the Mexi-
can national anthem and shouting
Death for the Americans"
An American jeweIry store was
looted by the mob at midnight. The
police looked on but took no action.
The American club, the leading
the Mexican Herald were closed, ow-
ing to the threats of the mops to burn
them and murder their occupants.
The British Germans. and French
in the federal capital were prepared
at a moments notice to gather in the
previously arranged concentration dis
trcts, which had been provisioned to
withstand a siege.
The newspapers, probably acting
under the directions of General Huerta
they printed dispatches stating that
FL Paso. Laredo, Nogales and other
places had been taken by the Mexi-
cans.
Other dispatches announced that
the federal troops had gained a great
victory at Vera Cruz where they ex
pected to surround and drive the in
vaders into the sea.
The papers also declared that the
battleship Louisiana had been sunk
by Mexican torpedoes.
An alleged despatch from the south
said that Emiliano Zapata, the South
ern rebel was coming to join forces
with General Huerta.
All the American officials employed
by the National railroads and the Mex
lean Railway Company were immedi-
ately discharged by the government in
order that no trains could be operated

ments to the border unless a request
to Secretary Of War Garrison for ad-

It was said Governor Colquitt tele-
graphed Secretary of War Garrison

ing on the assumption that United
States troops would not be available
or prepared to protect the Texas
frontier with state forces. Hundreds
of appeals from border towns asking
protection have been received.
Gov. Colquitt said the calling out Of
the militia would not interfere with
projected plans for the format ton of
a home guard in each border town
under direction Of the rangers.
Adjutant General Hutchings today
began arrangements to move the mill
tia to the border. They are expected
to entrain probably tomorrow as prep
arations extending over several

for hard work. which rarely fails to
