Of their journey from Mexico City "a
/ the United States departed Tonight
at 7 o'clock. Tho train will proceed
tonight only as far a. Apixaso. a
two hours run from here. and will re-
main there until daylight before con-
tinuing.
When the train finally got away on

miles to the coast, tho half dozen

posed Il held only about ono hundred
and nifty men. women and children
instead Of tho four or flvs hundred
which It was expected would take
passage in compliance with tho urg-
ings OF the state Department that all
Americans in the capital who could
should quit Mexican territory.
Various reasons contributed "a
diminish tho list OF passengers on the
special. Nearly one hundred persons
went 20 Vera Cruz yesterday aboard
tho regular train over the Mexican
Railway. About as many more OBJ
tanned accommodations on to-day's
regular train. Others decided to re-
main In the city on the chance that
room would be found for them later
in tho week on regular trains or that
circumstances would develop which
would render II unnecessary for them
to turn their backs on the capital.
1t Is estimated that probably be-
tween 45O and 500 Americans have
gone from Mexico city to Vera Cruz
since Sunday. Others have sought
an outlet from the republic on north
crn bound trains to Eagle Pass.
Three hundred would be fair esti-

Scores OF Americans who applied
for tickets yesterday failed to claim
their reservations to-day. 1t was
planned to start the train from tho
I1uenavista station OF the Mexican
railway at 10 o'clock this morning.
Long before that Americans made
their way toward the depot In car
riages and motors. taking great guam
titles of luggage with them.
II was noticeable that although
multitudcs Of Mexican idlers we're at
tracted about the station by the COM
motion and hustle OF the departing
travellers. not the slightest hostile
demonstration was offered. On the
contrary. many Mexicans volunteered
to assist Americans to place trunks
and bags aboard the train. All trav-
ellers brought ample food aud other
necessities with them. Some carried
blankets in anticipation OF slow
run over the plateau and down the
steep mountain grades TO Vera Cruz,
which would prolong the journey over
night.
Mexican peddlers drove a brisk
traffic in the sale of small rush bot
toned chairs for use in benchess cars.
Women and children were given
separate cars where they quickly dis
posed themselves as comfortable as
possible with trunks for seats which
were cushioped with rugs and
blankets. 1t Was a cheerful crowd In
the main. although many mani
fcstly were saddened at leaving be-
| hind homes OF years standing and tho
city which they had grown to love.
Midday approached and passed while
mechanics sought to tinker up the
baiky locomotive which had been told
of to haul the train. II was tedious
waiting In the hot station, but the
crowd bore It with commendable
patience. Confusion In orders detained
the arrival of the escort which was
supposed to accompany the train
Pleas were made that the train pro-
Iceed without guard. but 1t was deemed
prudent to hold 1t until the escort
came.
