oo REFUGEES RUSH TO VERA CRUZ Vera Cruz, June 23. Vera Cruz is filled with refugee Americans awaiting opportunity to sail for the Unlte'6 States. Every, train arriving here brings from fifty to 100 men, women and children who expect to embark on transports, but as yet no steamer has arrived, with the result that the hotels and rooming houses are filled with Americans on their way home. Many have taken advantage of Consul Con-sul Canada's instructions, and are quartered on board the battleship Ne- braska where they are awaiting trans- fer to the first available steamship bound for the United States. Tonight a special train of ten box cars carrying from 500 to GOO refugees, refu-gees, is expected. As all available rooming space Is occupied, many of these persons will be compelled to walk the streets unless it is possible for them to be carried to the battleship. battle-ship. Special launches are being run to the Nebraska at intervals of two hours, and during the forenoon today those have been crowded with those seeking safe quarters. Consul Canada said today that it was unlikely that a transport would reach here before June 28, and that the problem of taking care of the many Americans arriving daily was becoming a serious one. Among the arrivals there 'are members who have the means to pay for any accommodations accommoda-tions that could bo offered them, but as no accommodations are available their funds are of no assistance to them in this respect. As Americans were ordered by diplomatic dip-lomatic and consular agents more than a week ago to seek coast ports, there la much complaint among the refugees over the delay In the arrival of vessels to transport them. Up to this time no acts of violence or Interruption of the movements of Americans on the part of the Mexican Mexi-can people or the Mexican government govern-ment have been reported. Everywhere the orde'r of General Carranza not to molest those Americans who are seeking seek-ing to leave the country has been scrupulously obeyed. A special train of twelve box cars arrived here tonight with 250 men, women and children. Robert Van law, a prominent mining man, was among the passengers. Many Americans Amer-icans also arrived in the regular pas senger train from Mexico City. James Linn Rodgers, special agent of the state department in Mexico City, arranged ar-ranged for the transit of the special train, but did not come to Vera Cruz on it. No transport to carry the refugees la In sight so far and the battleship Nebraska la overcrowded. oo
