Americans Flock to Vera Cruz From
Interior Ponts

Vera Cruz, June 24.-Vera Cruz is
filled with refugee Americans awaiting
opportunity to leave for the United
States. Every train arriving here
brings from fifty to one hundred men,
women and children, who expect to en-
bark on board transports, but no steam
ships arrived, with the result that the
hotels and rooming houses are filled
with Americans.
Many are quartered on board the
battleship Nebraska. where they are
awaiting transfer to the first available
steamship.
A special train Of ten box cars, car
rying from 500 to 600 refugees, was ex-
pected here during the night. AS all
available rooming space is occupied,
many of these persons will be COM
PEELED to walk the streets.
Consul Canada said today that it
was unlikely that transport would
reach here before June %.
AS Americans were. ordered by dip
iOmatic and consular agents more than
week ago to seek coast ports, there
is much complaint among the refugees
over the delay in the arrival of vessels
to transport them.
