that, ao far a« authentic Information

Through the efforts of the Uritlah em

been removed.
Advices received through the Brit
ish embassy told of the completion of
arrangements for the safe departure
of Americana from Mexico City, while
the French ambassador gave the state
deportment a message he had receiv
ed from the French legation stating
that while there had been some anti-
American manifestations In the Mexi
can capital, order now prevailed.
Refugees were reported safe at
Tantpleo, Puerto Mexico and other
east const points, with arrangements
under way to get them to Qalveaton.
