PITIABLE CONDITIONS GROW
STEADILY WORSE IN MEXICO


Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 12.-Conditions
in Mexico City are bordering on an
archy because OF food shortage, ac-
cording' to arrivals from the capital
here today. The refugees, all Of whom
were Mexicans, said that rioters had
seized the electric lighting and power
plant outside the city and that, as a
result, the own had been without
lights or street car service for more
than a week before their departure.
Poems throughout the country north OF
the capital are suffering from hunger,
they added.
The situation In Zacatecas was de4
scribed as pitiable. At railway sta
lions in that state, according to refu-
gees, men, women and children would
beg travellers for scraps Of bread or
bits Of fruit peel.
Garrisons on both the American and
Mexican side of the river have been
augmented by the arrival of fresh
troops today. The First South Carolina
infantry, under Col. Edgeworth Monta-
que Blythe. of G%reenville, detrained in
FL Paso, while. simultaneously, ESQ men
from the garrison of Chihuahua City,
who arrived with Gen. Gabriel Gavira,
inspector-general Of the de facto forces,
went into barracks in Juarez.
