Unparalleled Conditions of Famine

DISPATCHES BEFORE LANSING
Officials of United States Giving Seri-
Gus Consideration to Relief Meas
ures-Political Situation Depends
Upon Military Operations.

WASHINGTON, July With un-
paralleled conditions of famine and
anarchy in Mexico City threatening the
safety Of foreigners. officials of the
United States were giving serious con-
sidcration tonight to relief measures.
Long dispatches by courier to Vera
Cruz from the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City were before Secretary
Lansing here and President Wilson at
Cornish. n. H., who may authorize an
effort to obtain the consent of General
Carranza to send supplies into the old
capital through neutral agencies. The
diplomatic corps in Mexico City is
counted on to provide for the removal
of foreigners from the fighting zone.
only tho opening of the railroad
from Mexico City to Vera Cruz" says
one of the Brazilian minister's mes
sages, can bring relief to the situa-
ton" The dispatches, the first the de-
partment had received in nearly two
weeks from the Mexican capital, re-
vealed that. while the cable from the
city is not cut. Carranza authorities
refuse to permit messages to pass. 1t
is understood the United States will
inquire of Carranza to learn the re-
sponsibility for stoppage of diplomatic
communications.
FIGHTING CONTINUES
IN OUTSKIRTS OF CITY
While it appeared to-day that the
Zapata forces still controlled the capt.
tai. fighting was continuing in the
outskirts.
The political situation in Mexico it
generally is believed, depends upon the
course of military operations. Con-
tinucd Zapata successes in resisting
the entry of Carranza's troops into the
capital has deadlocked operations in
the south while in the vicinity Of
Aguascalientes. General Villa claims to
have retaken Lagos and defeated Cen
eral Hill, who succeeded Obregon in
active command of the Carranza forces
CarranZa officials. however. declare
their troops are having continuous sue
cesses.
Efforts to restore peace wait to some
extent upon the return here of Presi-
dent Wilson, although the outcome of
the military situation in the next few
weeks will have an important bearing
on the problem
Many Villa leaders are in Washing
ton, and their group will be augmented
by the early arrival of Miguel Diaz
Lombardo. Villas Foreign Minister

Villa leader, will participate in con-
