hciais at the latter place thought Of
the situation
A mob clamored for food at Monclova
when the Red Cross supplies were
being distributed yesterday. according &

Cross today from j. C. Weller, its agent
there Weller said that. the distress
was the greatest he had ever seen
that the work OF handling the crowds
Is now proceeding In an orderly way,
and that on the first day of the dis
tribution of the food 5000 people were
taken care of.
Ship Food and Gold,
Notwithstanding the cry Of famine
in Mexico. today's dispatches report
consisnments Of beans and other foods
as coming from Vera Cruz to New
York, as well as consignments of gold,
sent to American banks by way of
New York. It IL reported that the

son who has been injured by him or
through him would welcome the oppor

Amnesty to Common Troopers.
At the Carranza agency today copies
Of an amnesty decree to all common
troopers. issued by Gen. Obregon, with
the approval Of Gen. Carranza, were
received. The decree recites that the
common troopers are Irresponsible, be-
cause Of their ignorance, for following
enemies of the Carranza cause, and
offers to each full guarantees and 100
pesos If he delivers his horse, arms.
1t he only surrenders his arms. Such
troopers also will have free transpor-
tation to their homes over the Car
ranza-controlled railways.
Carranza in the United States had un-
dertaken to dissuade him from his evi-|
dent purpose to ignore the request of
Villa for a conference. Letters are said
to have been written to Carranza ex-
planning the attitude of the United
States and urging him to offer some
sacrifice for the general good of the
southern republic.
