Senator Chamberlain Draws This Lesson from the

OnIyWomen, Children and
InyaIids To Be Allowed
to Land at Galveston.
u. S. MUST CLOTHE
MANY FUGITlVES
Mexican Officials Promise Pro-
lection to Americans Stay
ing in Capital.

Washington, Juno 3o.-Many Of the
/ 200 refugees from Mexico at Calves
ton on the navy tender Dixie and other
vessels probably will be compelled to
stay aboard ship for at least week.
Assistant Secretary Newton, Of the
Treasury, in charge Of the public
health service, announced to-day that
women, children and invalids would be
allowed to land after medical examina-
tions, but that delay could not be avoid
cd in other cases because the immlgra-
ton barracks and quarantine station NJ
Galveston can accommodate only about
400 persons.
Efforts to divert many Of the passen-
gers to New Orleans, Mr.. Newton said,
were abandoned because Of the expense,
but the United States probably would
have to feed and clothe many of the
refugees.
Plans for the landing Of the refugees
at ports north OF Maryland could not
be carried out because Of the shortage
Of ships.
Mr.. Arredondo, Mexican Ambassador
designate, took up with Secretary
Lansing again the question OF alleged
maltreatment Of Mexicans on the Amer
lean side of the border, and asked that
steps be taken 20 prevent further
trouble Of this sort.
On returning TO the embassy he made
public n message from Mexico City
saying that although the State Depart
ment had telegraphed Special Agent
Rodgers to warn all Americans 20 leave
Mexico at once or the United States
government would not be responsible
for the consequences, actually fewer
than 800 had left Mexico City and not
more than 200 left the surrounding
country.
"The greater majority Of Americans
in Mexico City" said the dlspatch,

been in Mexico throughout all the trou-

has given positive guarantees for the
protection Of the lives and property OF
Americans in the states of Tabasco and
Guanaluato whenever such Americans
express a desire to remain, and un-
ouestonably it will do so in all other

In conclusion the message said:
"Since the beginning Of international
difficulties no disposition has ever been
exhibited here at any time 10 modest

Official reports to the State Depart

membership which "The Sun" secures
through this merger II will be
