"Not one of our people has 3 M: been mistreated by the rebels so. far, but profiting by the harsh ii- experiences during the past ' F when they were assured ,of t " rebel protection they decided to ; send their families away immed- 4 f iately when they were informed .. ' that the guarantees were all " withdrawn. The rebels did not L violate any of the Mormon - I" homes. They merely issued or- i" ders that the Mormons should '-, bring in all their arms and am munition, and this was done." Some Americans who recently left Mexico consider it wjll be only a few days before intervention interven-tion by the United States is . forced. They say they expect isWiiy?" "' liltf f traction of all, American r mechanic of Pearson, said: "It means death to all Americans Ameri-cans who persist in staying there. The rebels disarmed everyone at Pearson, at Qolonia Dublan, at Colonia Juarez and ; many other places. At Janos they fought a battle with the federals and were defeated. This was Friday. More than 1 400 were wounded at this fight." El Paso, Texas, July 29. Abandoning Aban-doning all they have worked years to accumulate, some of them bringing a few cooking utensils and bedding, some escaping es-caping only with the clothing they wore, nearly 1,000 American Ameri-can women and children, mostly Mormons, have poured into El Paso since midnight last night. They are refugees from the rebels reb-els in Mexico, who were robbed of their means of self-protection when the "Red Flagged" confis-, confis-, cated their household firearms and ammunition. More are ex- pected on a train tonight. ; Many of the refugees are driv- en from comfortable homes, and I were compelled to live in tents on reaching El Paso. Some are forced into the tents because of '' their inability to secure accom- modations in the hotels and boar- ding houses, already overcrowd- I ed with refugees from the troub- I le zone, and some because of lack of f u nds to secure anything II better. f Many Mormon families that h are considered well-to-do under p ordinary circumstances have ,' suffered loss of crops this year '! because of the rebel raids and I interferences,and have no funds. E r The Mormon church, through the f c agency of Apostle A. W. Ivins, F who is now in El Paso, has or- Br dered the tents for the accom- Kv modation of refugees and had or- W dered that they be furnished P - with; the necessities of life. K V u |
