El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-04-21

n ~ Americans, eight Germans and
nine Frenchmen and women ar
- rived here today from Chihuahua
The Americans confirmed the state
ment that they were instructed 70
leave by Marion Letcher, the Amerl-
can consul. They said that MeXlcanS
in Chihuahua held the belief that the
rebels Will be unable TO remain out Of
the Huerta-W washington complication
and added that rebel leaders feel com
PEELED tic accept the view that the
blockading of TampicO and Neracruz
will be a national matter, affecting
the honor of every Mexican regard
less of political affiliatiOE.
Letcher, they said, is endeaVOrIng
to get the Americans cut without at
tracing undue attention and his eff
forts in this direction were being as
sisted by VenustianO Carranza. Most
of the latter's conference with Pancho
Villa Monday, they asserted, was de-
voted to consideration of the Tamplco
incident and its developments as al
fecting the "COnstitutiOnalists.
Declare u. s. AffrOnts Mexican Nation
The gravest view was taken, &C
cOrding to report. In the cafes, clubs,
and other gathering places, Mexican
citizens, practically all of whom are
rebel sympathiZers declared openly
that president Wilson's course is an
affront to the Mexican nation and that
a common enemy must be met by a
united country
Meanwhile there was no definite an
nOuncement of the policy on the part
of Carranza, the Americans reported
adding that it seemed to be his pur-
pose bv silence to imply the truth Of
reports that he would continue with
the revolution regardless of foreign
complications. This, they said, in
view of the excited talk IN the cafes
and elsewhere deceived nobody.
Consider National Honor at Stake.
In FL Paso prominent rebel SYM
pathlzers were unanimous so Tar as
they could be questioned, in the view
that not Huerta alone, but the national
honor, was at stake.
Ordered From Juarez.
Americans We're ordered out OF Jua-
reZ at 1880 Monday evening according
TO S. T. Balm. who operates a moving
picture theater on the JuareZ main
street. He says: AT 1880 policeman
came to my theater, pulled q gun down
on me and told me in Spanish that be-
cause Of the trouble between the Unit
ed States and Huerta, I had to get out
understand that other Americans
were ordered out at the same time, bul
I do not know their names"
Tt is thought that the order was
precautionary measure to prevent any
demonstrations which might occur If
the Americans remained in the town
during the night
FideI Avila declared that if the per-
son guilty of starting the rumor Mon
day night of an order Dy the feDel
military authorities for all Americans

authorities deny having issued any
such order, or TO have mad any knoWI-
edge of it, other than that the police,
believing it authentic, had ordered the
Americans to leave.

reZ, has received official orders from
