FEAR AMERICANS
now IN MEXICO
|NGRAVE DANGER
Two Train Loads of Refugees
Leave Capital City Early
To-Day for Vera Cruz.

WASHINGTON. April 20. The
State Department. through Mr..
OshaughneAsy and by direct mes
sases from Mr.. Bryan to American
Consuls throughout Mexico. has
warned all Americans TO leave. Such
protection as the United States has
undertaken to extend to foreigners
will not be affected. according to the
present purpose. The diplomatic
body In Washington has learned that
the United States will continue to
look after foreigners in Northern
Mexico In the Constftutionalist zone.
where foreign governments have no
consular representative. In the Fed
eral territory these governments will
continue TO look after their own sub
jects.
MEXICO CITY. April 2o.-Two
trains loaded with American refu-
gees left Mexico City early to-day for
Vera Cruz. Extra trains have been
arranged for and u general exodus OF
Americans from the capital will soon
be in progress.
Gen. Huerta is endeavorins to pro-
tect foreigners. Foreign Minister
Portillo warned Mexicans to contain
themselves and refrain from any
demonstration In q statement
printed In the local morning papers.
The departure Of Americans from
the capital will be orderly. Arrange
ments are in the hands of an Ameri-
can transportation COMMITTEES.
Dramatic In the extreme wers the
scenes which followed the news OF
Gen. Huerta's refusal to accede to the
demands Of the United States last
night. Two hundred Americans
danced at the American club until
midnight. but others. on learning Of
the turn affairs had taken. hastily
left the club and went to their homes
to pack their belongings for the ex-
odus to-day.
in the papers here to-day and the
statements from the Government
which were printed pointed out that
Gen. Huerta has not yet officially
taken a hand in the situation. The
causes OF the crisis are set forth in
the papers, but the hope is held out
that a settlement may be reached.
The newspapers Of the Federal cap
ital to-day restricted themselves to
brief comment on the statement given
out by the Foreign Minister. devoting
themselves chiefly TO expressions Of
approval of the attitude taken by the
Mexican Government.
FL impartial declared that Gen.
Huerta had given high proof of his
discretion and loyalty" and concluded:
"A people. like IA man, should prefer
death to dishonor."
FL Pals said, The Tampico ipci-
dents as a reason for war are infa-
nous and as basis for the assertion
Of right are ridiculous"
II adds: "In these solemn moments
serenity Is the only thing that can
save us, but should the time come to
show ourselves patriots it lis indispen-
BILE to unite in facing death and sacri-
flee with tho valor of justice"
All the morning papers published
a lengthy statement by the Mexican
Foreign Minister. Senior Portillo y
Rojas, outlining the reasons for the
position Gen. Huerta had taken.
This statement was followed by
! Huerta's advice to Mexicans to re-
| Train from demonstrations. with the
view Of not embarrassing possible
future negotiations.

News and Notes
Of Grain Crops
BY JOS. r. PRlTcHARp.

CHICAGO. Feb. Price changes
IN wheat will pivot on conditions in
the Southwest for a time at least. and
the average Spectator having either
hought or sold goodly quantities will
remain on the anxious bench until
spring has arrived and the wheat
crop mas been made. II is generally
beheVed in Board of Trade circles
mat the longs in the May future will
experience more or less trouble in
getting rid of the holdings which
seem to be cumbersome. but there
are a few in the trade who fail to
look at the situation as against the
no lders. There are some who volun-
teer the opinion that the United
states is TO again enjoy an export de-
mand for its wheat, and that with a
change of this kind for the better the
outsider will be seen in the market
as In days of yore.
According to the best authorities
IN the country on the crop prospects.
the wheat plants never was in as
good condition as at the moment. 1t
Is In such strong position that it
would be able to stand attacks from
low temperatures. The loss might he
severe in some sections and still a
big crop be raised If the first Gov
eminent report which was issued on
the winter condition Is good for any-
thing.
One drawback to the wheat market
of late from the standpoint of a bull
has been the increased offerings by
holders in Nebra ska and the smaller
demand on export and shipping ac-
count. Chicago needs big trade In
wheat, and it will take a change of
this kind to place the bulls in the,
fore
The open interest in corn is com
paratively small when compared to
mat of month ago and there is
less bull talk in circulation than AZ
that time. James A. Patten is be-
lleVed TO have evened up his position
pretty well. anu the down State specu-
lators are rot to be seen on the bull
SIDE In as prominent a manner as was
the case a few weeks ago. There has
been no demand for the cash article
to speak Of and Argentina is selling
considerable corn in this country
which reflects continuation of the
dullness OF the cash market for some
time to come.
The oats situation is unchanged.
Speculation has favored the bull side
of the market, but in a modest way
only.
