Among Officials.
PRESENCE OF AMERICANS
IN MEXICO IS RESENTED
Gen. Carranza' Forces Attempt
ing to Quiet the Dis
turbances.

Washington, June 9.-Anti-Ameri-
Lean demonstrations in northern MeX-
co continue, according to official dis
patches today, particularly in the
states of Chihuahua and San Luis,
Potosi and Nuevo, Leon, and although
the manifestations have been cOnfin-
ed mostly to speech making, consular
agents have reported that the temper
of the people appears such that any
Ieventualities might be possible. Amer
leans are leaving for the border in
steadily increasing numbers. Border
AGENTS have been instructed to urge
those seeking to return to Mexico to
stay on the American side OF the bor-
der.
| Officials here showed considerable
uneasiness over the situation. While
mo overt acts are anticipated in any
region under we'll established control
| of Carranza troops, there still appears
to be doubt as to whether the govern
ment's hold over the people is strong.
Some. reports said the demonstrations
were in part melted by agitators.
! Mass meetings ware .helds%at Saltiilo
last night at which many speeches
'resenting the presence of American
+; troops in Mexico were made. Similar
meetings have been held or are con-
|templated at other points. The only
/, violence against American property
was reported at Chihuahua City and
Monterey, where there are no cons-
lar agents. Reports reaching the bOr-
der have indicated that while General
Carranzas forces were trying to over
come the demonstrators, their control
was not to be depended on. The ag-
tators, some officials fear, may arouse
public opinion to a point where an
attempt to expel General Pershing's
men by force may be undertaken.
Should Carranza forces join the riot
ers situation might be created from
(which there would be no peaceful es-
cape.
Army officials have no fear for the
safety of the American expedition.
The spread of the anti-American
agitation may delay the reply to Gen
eral Carranza's note demanding re-
call of American troops. Creation of
an international commission to dis
cuss all difficulties is known to have
been suggested, under existing treat
les, and it is understood the proposal
still is before President Wilson.
Battle Impending
A battle is eminent between consti-

outlaws no encamped on the Rio
Florido, about % miles south of Par

here today. A scouting party of Cen

| General Ramos plans to cooperate
with second force of men under Cen

Circulate Literature.
Reports here today told of anti
American literature circulated in Par
raj and other cities in Chihuahua
state. w. B. Ballard, of the Cino de
Mayo Mining Co., at San Antonio,
Mexico, who arrived from Parral, said
several incendiary publications there
are nursing feelings against Ameri-
cans. Private advices from Chihua-
hua City, the scene of demonstrations
several days ago, said it was quiet
