refugees to their old homes as fast as
they are released from quarantine, but
these plans fail to solve the perplexing
problem for a great portion of the refugee
army.
Escaped by Posing as German.
Many Of the refugees told graphic
stories Of suffering, privation and insult
to Americans and to the flag. In count
less instances those who escaped fed
without having chance to provide them
selves with the simplest articles of neces-
sity or with even a small amount OF
money. Many OF these say that they
never expect to see their homes or prop
erty again.
Dr. P. G. Opherman. formerly of Cleve-
land, Ohio, Dixie refugee, said he es-
capped violence at Mexican hands in the
Tampico municipal building Tuesday.
when the Vera Cruz fight news was post
ed. by passing himself OF as German.
German characteristics in his face
enabled him to succeed in the ruse until
he got safely away from the building.
E. F. Sessions Of Florence. S. c., said
he brought twenty-one women and chill
dren down the Panuca river to Tampico
Tuesday from Topila, an oil camp. until
the Mexican government boat Vera
Cruz stopped him and sent him back
under threats of Smelling his boat and
passengers. He retired and returned
flying a German flag, whereupon he was
allowed to pass.
Protected by Confederate Flag.
When the excitement Of Mencans at
Tampico over the fighting at Vera Cruz
was so high that the raising Of an
American flag imperiled its owner. Mrs.
Dr.. Samuel Pelt Hodgson. formerly Of
Scottsboro. Ala, raised Confederate
flag. She Is tho daughter-in-law OF the
late Col. Joseph Hodgson. who was edi-
tor Of the Mobile Register. Mrs. Hodg-
son said that she not only was unwill-
ing to leave Tampico. but that she was
courteously treated by her Mexican
friends even during tho rioting, which
she declared was confined to irresponsi-
BILE persons.
C. P. Smith. for many years resi-
dent Of Tampico. and owner Of a plan
tation nearby, a native OF the south. said
that last Sunday when he and his wife
attempted to drive back to their home,
after a visit. they were halted by fed
erals. To their pleadings to be allowed
to go home in peace. they were told
they might drive up to their gate and
then must return without getting out OF
their buggy. This they did. Both were
arrested TUESDAY Wnlle Trying TO leAVe
Tampico. and detained by a federal
| lieutenant who, Smith said today. called
them vile names.
Norman Land. son Of John Lind. was
among the passengers on the battleship
Connecticut. He had gone from Vera
Cruz to Tampico. arriving there about
the time the rioting began.
Some of the Dixie's passengers wrote
long protest to Senator Pittman Of Ne
! vada, declaring that Admiral Mayo
| should have been permitted to protect
Americans at Tampico, who were
threatened, according to oil men who
were among today's refugees.

CH|HUAHUA'S FOREIGN

Former Glory Of Establishment
Faded Since Exodus From

CHIHUAHUA. Mex, April 27.-The

since its foundation. but these guests
would scarcely recognize the place now.

made to get more money from him. or
when his life will be taken.
Consul Letcher Is still here assisting

Scene Of Benton's Arguments.
It was in front Of this fireplace that
the scotchman. William 8. Benton. slain
In Juarez February II last, was wont
to engage all Corners in argument. and
to express freely those opinions which
accrued to his detriment when he made
his fatal visit to Gen. Villa in Juarez.
Rebel officers are the main support Of
tho club now, although many Of the loyal
members continue to send in their dues
from tho other side of the Rio Grande.
In other days the visitor was taken at
his sponsors word in a generous. free
handed way. and might run up his tabs
to any amount. but 1t has been found
wise to introduce the coupon system and
everything Is on cash basis now.
The club Is the index to the city. It
was a Texas-Mexcan town. whose pros
perity was based on foreign capital and
energy. and the streets offer dreary
scene of closed stores and shops.

Portuaal'a Stake In the War.

The participation OF Portugal in the
great war is not OF such little impor-
tance as is generally believed She
has colonies comprising over 100000
square miles, inhabited by more than
100000 people All Of these colonies
would be exposed to seizure were Ger
many and Austria successful Portu-
gal, therefore, has big stake involved.
On the other hand, the alliance with
England has been a guarantee to
Portugal OF the permanence OF her
possessions.
