 So far as is known here, only about ten Americans other than expedition ary soldiers remain in Chihuahua. Ap prehension was manifest here for the five at Parral, all of whom are en- ployes of American mining compan- ies.

 Expect War Fever to Abate.
 Americans just out of Mexico ex pressed belief today that the war fever in the northern states of the repub lie is likely to cool quite as suddenly as it has arisen. They based their opinions on the harsh reality of econ- omic conditions there. Considerable relief was manifest in El Paso upon the publication Of the order of Gen. Alvara Oregon, Mexican minister of war, directing that no Mexican refu- gees be allowed to cross the inter- national boundary. Some 4,0O0 MeXi- cans from the interior states have con- centrated in Juarez in the last few days in the hope of crossing into the United States in the search of work. Officials on this side of the river ex- pressed fear that a large influx of the Ia nd ip hi bring with them some of the diseases which have followed in the wake of years of strife in Mexico.

Greatest of Vessels.

Washington, June 23.--Chairman
Tillman today urged the Senate sub
committee drafting plans for the en-
larged American navy to authorize o
ship of $4,000 tons, 995 feet in length,
armed with fifteen 1S-inch rifles, with
4 speed Of So knots, to cost S30,000,-
900.
This ship would have approximate
ly twice the power Of any vessel
afioat. 1t would be the largest craft
that could pass through the Panama
canal.
''It could whip a whole fleet Of or
dinary battleships," said Tillman.
Naval experts have told Tillman, he
said, the ship is entirely feasible.
Indications were that the commit
tee will adopt the general board rec
ommendation of four dreadnaughts
and three battle cruisers for the first
years program. If Tillman's ship is
approved, it will be counted as two
battleships.

Latin America Neutral.

Washington, June 23.--Strict neu-
trality of both word and deed will be
Latin Americas official policy, re-
gardless of what action the United
States may take against Mexico. This
was the statement to the United Press
in Latin American circles.
In the meantime many South Amer
ican diplomats are saying II told you
So" over the threatened rupture be-
tween the American government and
Carranza. 1t was authoritatively
learned that before the conference be-
tween Secretary Lansing and the Dip
lomatic representatives Of Argentine,
Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and
Guatemala, at New York, at which it
was decided to recognize Carranza,
the Latin American officials had de-
cided to press their claims to the point
where the stand of the United States
became unbending and then unani-
mously agreed with the state depart
ment. '~
The policy which was followed out
resulted in the recognition of Car
rama, much against the judgment Of
the conferees. For this reason, among
others, Latin America is now deter
mined to keep out of the Mexican
tangle.
In addition it was pointed out that
Latin America has no material inter-
est at stake, there being practically
no South American capital invested in
Mexico. Although Latin America will
be neutral, there is considerable pub
lie opinion against Intervention, it was
said. This undoubtedly will be voiced
particularly by the papers wishing to
appeal to anti United States senti-'
ment in South America.

sent the Eleventh and part of the Tenth cavalry to rein
force and the troopers from the Tenth who
ambushed by the Mexicans Wednesday.
Reports that Villa has been accepted into the Car
army and is raising brigade for service against
the Americans is not credited.
An additional reason for the belief that fighting is in
progress is the expressed determination of American
troopers to rescue their comrades captured by the Mex

been taken to Chihuahua City,

notice that unless the prisoners released unharmed
