FOREIGNERS ARE L0ATH
TO LEAVE MEXICO CITY
Attitude Removes Only Apparent
Hope Of Resumption of Rail
Travel With Vera Cruz.

VERA CRUZ. April by their re-
fusal to leave Mexico City. in spite OF
J the dangers and inconvenience Incl
dental to a civil war, foreigners have
removed what apparently was the only
hope Of a resumption, even temporary
Of railway communication between the
abandoned capital and Vera Cruz. The
Brazilian minister has reported to John
| R. Silliman, special consular agent OF
| the United States in Mexico, that he
, has been unable to find enough Amer
! leans and other foreigners wishing to
leave Mexico City to justify asking for
trains.
Gen. Carranza had told Mr.. Silliman
he was willing to provide adequate
train service to move out such foreign
ers as desired to leave, but before he
| know how many passengers there
would be.
President Wilson's warning to Amer
ican citizens to leave Mexico was pub
lished several weeks ago in the for
mer capital. but the attitude of vir-
tually all citizens OF the United States
who reside there was that they prefer
red to remain in Mexico City and take
their chances unless a plan for inter-
vention was behind the warning.
Elect to Remain There.
They now are convinced that inter-
vention Is highly improbable and have
chosen to stay where they are.
Acting from instructions from
Washington Mr.. silliman requested
that train be provided for the trans
portation of Red Cross supplies. The
request was granted, but no supplies
nave arrived nere. With the exception
Of his application for trains to remove
foreigners and for q special for the
use Of Duval West, President Wilson's
personal representative in Mexico, Mr..
Silliman has made no other request.
notwithstanding reports that Wash
ington had asked for the restoration
of something like regular traffic on the
Mexican railway for the transportation
Of passengers and mails.
Reports received at the Carranza
headquarters indicate that Gen. AL
varado still holds Merida. the capital
of Yucatan, and controls the region ad-
jacent to that city.
