 FL PASO, Texas, June 17.-Ameri. cans were warned yesterday by the American state department to get out when they could according to a tel egram read at a meeting of the mili- tary affairs committee of the cham Der of commerce this afternoon. The telegram was from Congressman Claude B. Hudspeth. It read:
 'Upon receipt of your telegram re- lating to conditions as to Mexico, I placed the matter before Secretary Of War Baker and had an interview with the acting secretary of state.
 ''T stated to him it was an outrage Q withdraw troops after they had en- tered Mexico and had done everything possible to inf1ame hatred of Villistss toward Americans. He agreed with me and I asked him what they pro posed to do to protect Americans and their property in Mexico. He stated he had warned Americans yesterday of the state of affairs, what Villa would likely do, and that they had bet ter get out when they could and where
 they would not have to suffer conse quences. Also put matter up to Baker
 who is considering matter now" The military affairs committee adopted a resolution strongly approv ing General Erwins action in stopping firing into the United States. Ueasiness Is Felt.
 1 FL PASO, Texas, June 11.-Un- easiness for American citizens in
 northern Mexico was felt here tonight. Because of the expedition by United
 States troops to Mexico Sunday night,
 to disperse Villas forces attacking JuareZ, it is feared Villa and his men
 will attempt reprisals upon American persons and property in the north of Mexico.
 Mormon officials here and in Juarez
 were much concerned over reports that Villa was heading toward Casas
 Grandes. Chihuahua. This is near the
 Mormon colony of Colonia Dublap.
 where many Mormon families live. No
 news of a general exodus of Mormons
 has yet been received here but, for the
 third time since the revolution started.
 the Mormon families are expected t.
 be forced from their homes should
 Villa go to that section of the state and
 begin reprisals.
 Several American mining companies have ordered their American em oloyes to leave for the border as soon as possible. The American Smelling l and Refining company announced that , its employees at Parral always Villa . stronghold, had been ordered to the 7 border. It will be necessary for them | to go by way of Chihuahua City and ; Torrecn, as the railroad is cut north of Chihuahua City. orders have also been given the officials and employees , of the Cusi Mining company, a Chicago owned company at Cusihiriachic. Chi huahua, to leave at once. Other com panies have ordered their men to con
 centrate in the larger towns and cities
 and to abandon outlying properties un- , til Villas attitude towards Americans
 is definitely known.
 7 Yaquis Sent to Parral Two thousand Yaqui Indians have been sent to Parral by General Manuel : Dieguez, to reinforce that town, which ! was captured by Villas forces on East CT morning. Following this informa- ton, which was received at the border late today, several large mining com r panies there decided to have their men remain in Parral for the present. As [ the railroad is cut south of Juarez. t nothing is known of any exodus Of Americans other than mining men. g Reports from Juarez this afternoon Q were brought to the American side. . that the feeling among the Mexicans e was bitter toward the Americans but = this was denied tonight by American
 ! Consul Edward A. Dow, who said he r and vice Consul Stephen Aguirre, had = been courteously treated in going to e and from their work. The i'll feeling d was said to have started with a wild = rumOr that the Americans were coming = back to occupy Juarez. This was said ), to have caused several civilians to arm = themselves and make an effort to or = ganiZe homeguard. l. General Cabells statement here to- e day that the expedition to Juarez was t a closed incident was accepted at its ;. face value here tonight and no further 2. development of that situation is antici- d pated. However. it is feared that Villa 3, or Martin Lopez might attempt re- p prisais on isolated border towns on the g, American side of the border. To an T. ticipate such a move, all garrisons l. along the border were strengthened al and the patrols doubled
 T. American Views Differ ;H.' Americans familiar with Mexican II conditions differ as to the attitude O st Villa toward Americans, following tn.
 expedition against his forces. Som, believe he will wreak vengeance or : every American he encounters. Op- - posed to these are others who believ, that Villa is ambitious to make sue cess of his revolution and does no ~. want to bring down upon his head tn hatred of the Americans and the pos
 abilities of another punitive expedi
 ton into the interior after him. shoulI
 he wage a campaign against Americal Tt lives and property. The Villa sympa a thizers here, who are numerous, de od clare Villa will make no effort to harn to Americans and say he will not kill J. single American, as an outcome of tn m expedition Sunday night.
