SAN ANTONIO, TEX., Nov. 10 —
Reports received her* early to-day
from Mexico City declare that two
Americans were killed, one of them
lynched to a tree, in outbreaks there
last night. A mob of natives, partici
pating in the anti-American anti-gov
irnment revolt, cam* upon a young
American man in tha outakirta of the
City and lynched him, but cut down
♦he body before the police arrived.
An American child it also auppoeed
to have been killed when mobe stoned
a etreet car carrying several Ameri
can* in Juarez avenue.
Several Mexicans were killed by po
lice in suppressing the riots
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 10.—Intense
anti-American feeling is prevalent
here to-day and troops and police are
on guard all ovor the oity, keeping the
crowds from eolloeting and ondeavor
ing, in a passive way, to safaguard the
Interests of American citizens.
The American colony Is wrought up
ovor yesterday’s attacks on American
citizens, during which an Amcricsn
flag was torn, spat upon and reviled.
This is
indignation is mads worse by the
fact that tho Mexican government had 1
ample warning that the anti-American
outbreak was to bo expected and mad*
no provision whatever to prevent it.
Private telegrams received hero to
day aay Mexieo City is in a stage of |
siege, with Americano in peril. Amerl- 1
oan residents have been barricaded in j
their homos.
Loaders of tho Mexican revolutionary
party, who, following the recent elec
tions, were forced to flee the country
and earns here, assart that the out
break Is not directly a result of anti*
American feeling. Their fellow-coun*
try men in Moxieo City aoixed this op
portunity for a “patriotio demonstra
tion/ they aay, and further declare
that tha disturbance will load to a
revolution against President Dias.
To Punish the Guilty.
American Ambassador Wilson has
made strong representation.* to the
Mexican officials, who have promised
to proMA Americans and to punish
those guilty of insulting the American

I was turned into a battle field and the
j whole Suffolk county court-house was
thrown into the wildest excitement
shortly before noon to-day when Wal- I
ter G. Fall, twenty-two years old, of j
Dorchester, walked In on a conference ;
and began to shoot at the men who j
charged him with a serious crime |
against Esther H. Fogg, fourteen
years old. After killing two he turn- '
ed the revolver on himself, but it |
missed fire and he was captured.
Frank E. Reese, stepfather of the ;
girl, was shot dead. Police Sergeant
Fred Schlehuber was fatally wounded
and died on the way to the hospital. ■
It was by the thlneat margin that >
District Attorney Pelletier himself
was not in the room. As It was he.
with Assistant District Attorney Daveli !
and clerks grappled with Fall while |
he still was desperately snapping the :
revolver at his temple.
They subdued the man pnd held !

dying of hi* wound and Reese dead
in a pool of blood.

As tin) session must end on March 4
