These refugees who -. came from Tierra Blanca, Cordoba and Or izaba presented . a pitiable spectacle and were worn, dirty and tired frcm their frightful experiences. Women with babies in - their arms and "young girls carrying heavy bundles contain- Ing aJl that remained of their earthly possessions, wearily trudged with the others. '.' :' ' ' ' '. ' - British Minister Carden visited Min ister Rojas and It was easily noticea ble when he left the foreign office that he was annoyed. General Huerta de--clared there was no reason f m placing an -escort on the refugee traftis . and anyway he. did .; not care to , assume responsibilstr for the' safety of pass engers. v - ' j.rFRVE TROUBIiE Kff ROUTE. ' It was planned, - according to Com mander Tweedie. to start three 'trains from Mexico City, last night. was estimated by General HUecta , that these-trains, which were to be oper ated by Englishmen, would be able to take out all Americans and other for eigners who wished tto. go. , This,i however, is regarded., here as doubt ful,' since there has been growing evi dence that Americans axe not the only ones anxious to escape from the cap ital. , Keen disappointment - was displayed here by wives of the men yet in the capital, and ether membera of broken families on learning that, to Join them, the missing'- ones -would-be com pelled to. make a long and -dangerous journey, i The fact . that the arrested had been relaeed waa only slight as surance to those -Who . knew that the refugees --now must h pass through a region- In which so many ; have been arrested and taken northward to Cor doba and. Orizaba.- It is. regarded as unlikely that General , Huerta, even if . determined ,to stop ; arresting . Ameri earls? will be able to get In touch with all the little leadens in the south and hold them off unguarded trains. . , t , Commander Tweedie i and ; General Franco, ; the -; interpreter : : from Vera; Cruz, were given an escort as far as Soledad from' which place, -they made their way over the broken i line to ;the American ' train 1 near Tejera. : - . i L-: .

Arrived there. the guards said they were hungry and demanded 50 pesos on the . threat to turn the - Elliott family over to", a howling - anob which . surrounded the Station and filled the streets. - : . The money was naid and Elliott a.nd his .family -were marched through the streets for more than a mile, 'hounded all ; the way to- the , barracks by the mob. ' For six days, they were" kept in barracks, , during the - - first two :of which crowds surounded - the , place howling for- their lives. .; -; -; On two occasions some of the mob forced their tray, into th barracks and, had it not been for the efforts of the'1 colonel and two other officers, ,BI liott and - his family undoubtedly would have been killed. During their stay the demonstrations ceased to a large extent- ...".'.' , " "I was placed with' 10 others' In tram wnicn was left standing over night surrounded by a mob Which continually threatened to attack us, ne saw. ;- rne guards ate up every thing available on the train, compell ing us to go hungry. - At every station up to Cordoba on the following day, similar crowds looted the train and threatened us. -. . "While being taken through, the streets of Cordoba a squad of young volunteers who had Just been present ed -with a flag swept down upon us and tried to run -us down. - This hap pened at the corner where the muni cipal palace is , located or otherwise we would not have escaped as well as we did. As It was, I was rapped over the head with a flagstaff and a man walking beside me was struck on the head with a rock and his scalp badly cut.-v- SAVED. BY; COIjONEL. "It was due to the fine conduct of the Mexican colonel that we ever made the palace. He -rushed from the door t with a squad of police and soldiers ' and plunged into the crowd, scatter ing them." ;. i.;: -.;;.'-.--;: i ' "Once in the palace, we were lodged upstairs in front of the Jefe politico's office, but all night a mob continued -:to yell in the streets and several times r we thought they would break in and try to get us. This colonel and his men stood by us,- however, with guns ready for business. - -f . "Later we ' were put in the peni tentiary which is In the same building and for six days we slept on the stone flagging. There were two women in the party, one with a little baby. We were allowed to send out and buy blankets and managed to get enough ; to eat such as it was. "Monday we were placed on a train and brought down to Soledad. We spent that night on the tracks. There IN COAST PORTS was one passenger coach left for us and in this the women and children slept, the rest of us, sleeping on the ground. ; UNDER BRITISH FTxfVG. ' "About 11 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, Tweedie's train arrived. The of fleers were not going to let us board it but Tweedie refused to let; the train go without us. When we arrived at the break in the tracks there : were bunches of ; Mexican soldiers lying in the bushes - and they oertainly would have finished us -but for .Tweedie and the protection of . the -British flag which was carried ahead of us." : Manager Boyd; of the Motzorongo Hacienda when he arrived at Cordoba was' forced ,by the federal guard to payl,050 pesos for protection thrpugh the streets to the Jail. .

Tampico, April 29 -As a result, of the exodus of foreigners- and the dis persion of a. large part of thfe native population, business in Tampico is at a complete standstill. The only visible sign of activities is 'along - the' custom house wharf, where three steamers are unloading..; ' ;. -N? ' ;- - - While there Is very : good reason to believe that the; rebels investing the city- will- reject, any proposal to ally themselves with the federals for the purpose of resisting any possible American aggression, - there is some uncertainty as to what coarse the fed erais wouia pursue in such an eventuality. r '.,,...-,---. - General Zaragoza, the federal com mander, has made public announce ment of his determination to defend Tampico to the last. On 5 the other hand, he is reported to have said to a friend last Friday that' opposition to an American advance vould be quite hopeless; that' he would ; only make feeble show of . defense, , sufficient to satisfy the demands of honor and then evacuate the city, r General Zaragoza's force Is not" believed to exceed 1,000 men. . -' 'Z- " ... ; ':' Considering thew federal i situation from the standpoint of rebel attack, all indications point to their ability to defend.

REBELS ARE NECTRAL. , The army and navy today continued consideration of - plans to meet any eventualities but interest in their movements was overshadowed by that evinced in the work of the representa tives of the South Amslfican republics. A report today tiatt Carranza and Villa, the constitutionalist leaders, had agreed to remain neutral in dealings between Huerta and the American government, "so long as there was no invasion of their territory," was an encouraging development.' News 1 that American Consul Schmutz and : 110 other Americans who had been detained at Aguas Calientes by federal soldiers, had been released and were safe in Mexico City on their way to Vera Cruz, was a re lieving feature of a tense - situation created by previous reports that citi zens ;' of ( the United States had been subjected , to persecution.

REFUGEES PRAISE BRITISH OFFICER FOR THEIR SAFETY Vera Cruz, April 29 Refugees from Soledad are enthusiastic in praise of Commander Tweedie, , whose deter mined stand, they believe, alone saved them from probable death or at least prolonged suffering. On being releas ed from the penitentiary at Soledad where they had been confined for pro tection against the , mob, the refugees were -taken to the railroad track and handed over to a Mexican major who had no instructions as to what to do with them. .A train bound for Mexico City passed but they were not permit ted to board it-- . - s: , . , . , After waiting hours in the blazing sun, v commander' .- , Tweedie s strain steamed in sight 'bound for Vera.

OBTAINS AMERICANS' RELEASE. Commander -Tweedie insisted to the Mexican officers that he-fee' permitted to take the Americans with him to Vera Cruz and he refused to listen to the officer's protest that he had, no authority in the matter. . The federal officer finally capitulated and hasten ed back to tne city tor instructions, returning in an hour with permission for the Americans to depart. On the night when the situation was especially serious, the mayor address ed ;tbe citizens, . urging them to toe calnv.frThe most effective work, how ever, was done' by -the commandant who seized several hundred of the most aggressive rioters and sent them away- to the capital to fill the ranks of General Huerta's forces, y There was no further open display of hos tility by the townspeople.
