Britain. Spain and Cuba have
notified this government that
their citizens in Mexico are panic
stricken with fear that they may

altered the Presidents determina-
ton to evacuate Vera Cruz next
Monday.

resentatives of these governments
have been advised that the State
Department has assurances that

since Diaz went into exile.
