LONDON, Sept. s.--The rush Of Ameri-

now facing the relief committee. There
is a great influx of persons who claim
to be Americans. but who are unable
to speak a word of English.
Some of these speak only German

The majority are without passports
and have simply cards from various
American consulates and embassies

United States. The committee is
furnishing these applicants with help
and transportation.
The American Embassy sent a cable

An effective plan for establishing such

TO combine to provide competent repre-
sentatiycs and publicity agents at joint
expense, meeting the expense In proper

The general cost TO the Association %

three and half years that the exhibit
has been there and the individual cost
to the exhibitors has been 800 year for
approx! mately thirty square feet OF space
In New York and the New England States
there ought to be at least Ave hundred
firms which would be willing to maintain
an exhibit. The expense for each cham
Der OF commerce would by cooperative
effort be reduced to what would not
amount to more than an ordinary adver-
Using appropriation.
THE exhibit would serve as centre
for American activities. where purchasers
would be invited to inspec; the goods.
competent statesmen would represent the
various lines and in the case OF machinery
skilled mechanics and demonstrators could
be employed to point out the talkirg
points In favor Of American machinery.

should become members OF the exhibit an
arrangement could he made for pooling
the sales and dividing the profits.
The purpose of the exhibit would be
to Introduce American goods, 10 create a
demand for them and 10 demonstrate their
superiority.
particular lines OF goods could be fea-
,urcd on certain exhibition days, which
days could be announced with appropriate
advertising and circulars and every effort

Mazatlan, May 20. via wireless to San
Diego. Cal. May 21.-An army of 5000
constitutionalists. having occupied Topic.
with loss Of 400 killed and an unknown
number Of casualties among the federals,
has begun its advance on Guadalajara.
In advance Of the moving troops a flying
squadron OF cavalry is working destruc-
ton to the Huerta lines of communica-
ton. its main object being the Gripping
of the railroad from Manzanillo to Qua
dalajara.
The capture of Topic was accomplished
after bloody struggle. Although the
losses Of the federals are uncertain. it
is known 200 Of them were taken pris-
oners.
Mazatlan is in a state Of panic today.
The terror of the approach Of the rebels
is augmented by the presence In their
ranks Of 100 Indians in war paint. whose
excuses in the event of the city's fall,
1t is feared, their white leaders will be
unable to curb.
More dismal to the contemplation Of
the average citizen is the prospect Of
the sacking of the city by the federals
seems inevitable. 1t is the general be-
lief that they will not give up Ma
zatlan to Gen. Obregon without first
wrecking the city.
A new cause Of apprehension to the
Mexicans is the arrival of the cruiser
force Of marines. This has been va
riously Interpreted by the natives and
the fear of an American seizure has
spread throughout the city.

Gen. Huerta has told his representatives

1t likewise is understood that the Mex

Villas determination to delay pressing
his campaign against Saltfllo until
forty-mile stretch of railway had been re-
paired, and the absence of disturbing re-
ports from Vera Cruz and Mexico City,
gave administration leaders the oppor-
tunity to address practically all their at
