Alarm ing reports from Ambassador Wilson of the conditions in Mexico City have caused Taft to give Wilson permis sion to draw funds in any amount to care for the American and other refugees from Mexico City. Wilson's dispatches told of the vain appeals made for a cessation of hostilities, and confirmed the reported killing of Mrs. W. H. Holmes aud Mrs. Percy Griffiths, Americans. l S.

These are the Sumner, Meade, Kilputrick and McCIellan. They are being pro visioned for 30 days' service and can accommodate 3000 troops, with mounts aud pack animals. Many Americans Fled. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13. Antici pating an early resumption of hostili ties this morning, more than C00 Americans fled last night from their homes to temporary abodes in the outskirts of the city, where the dan ger from the fire will he minimized. Ambassador Wilson, on informa tion from the national palace, knew tin:! the government planned a crushing blow, and detenu iued to save Americans if possible. Wilsoi. renled numerous houses, to which, under flags of truce, agents of the embassy hurried in automobiles as many women and children that would agree to be transported. The capital was quiet last night, but the fugitive foreigners, filled with horror by the frightful bom bardment of the last two days, need ed little urging. While the bombardment was far heavier than on Tuesday, probably the loss of life was smaller. This was due to the lack of any effort, to force the assault by the federals. Three Hundred Killed. The casualties are estimated at not less than :ioi) dead and l.",uo wounded in the two days' fighting. Two A merieau women are dead, shot lo pieces by a shell. They were Mrs. II. W. Holmes and Mrs. Percy Ortf f it hs. Several Americans have been wounded. Hut the total number of native non-combatants injured today undoubtedly was small. Experience is fast teaching the citizens to keep out of the line of fire. The reports from the Diaz head quarters that his losses have been negligible are received with some doubt. At 10 o'clock last night there was sharp action for a few minutes by a federal battery against the rebel position, but at 11 o'clock ti city was tranquil with all the street lights out.

Reports that a strike of the 40.000 firemen of the f4 railroads east" of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers Sunday were current here tonight, after a day of attempted mediation under the Erdman act on the part of Judge Martin A. Knapp of the United ; States Commerce Court, and H. W. I Hanger, acting Fnited State. om- missioner of Labor. I "The situation is hopeless," are words attributed to William S. Car ter, president of the Ilrc'herhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, in commenting on the failure of the day's conferences to develop any thing new. "The managers won't budge at all," he said. The firemen claim that if a strike is ordered it will involve a complete tie-up, as out of 34,000 firemen, who recently voted on the strike question, only about a thousand were opposed to a strike.

STERILIZATION BILL PASSES BOTH HOUSES; NOW UP TO GOV. WEST ,Tw0 f Hwaru S $ Co ThfOUgh -Wert Sends Threatening Message, But Cards are Against Him SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. By only 10 votes, a bare statutory majority, House bill 68, by Lewelling, tho pro posed act for tho sterilization of criminals and Insane persons passed the Senate this morning. The provisions of the measure leave the matter of the sterilization practically In the hands of (ho su perintendent of tho Institution In which the patient or convict Is con fined. The superintendent must re port his belief that certain inmates of IiIb institution should he operated upon, and It ls left lo the hoard to perform any sort of an operation It deems necessary for the protection of society. Therefore, it is argued, the workings of the bill are not limited to sterilization, but tho board Is given complete control of the sltua- tlon. Illlls Passed Hy House.
