I AMERICANS WARiSEO | mU MEXICO GITY Owing to the Tonoc Situation Developing Last Week BATTLESHIPS NOW MOVING Said to Have Begun Evacuation ! -Two Warships Ordered to Vora Cruz. The situation in Mexico which had 1. . uecn growing worse and worse for some time became still more terse last week. The news came from Washington that American citizens again have i?o< n warned to leave Mexico City in view of the critical situation. Secretary Bryan announced tonight that transportation facilities would be sought for as many as desired to j leave. The battleship Georgia and the' armored cruiser Washington were ordered by Secretary Daniels, after conferences with President Wilson, to. proceed immediately to Vera Cruz. | Consular messages from Vera Cruz stated that it was reported that the: evacuation of Mexico City began last night. Enrique C. Elorcnte. Gen. Villa's Washington representative received a ^ r? i " jinroou^e suymg Zapatista forces oc-J copied Mexico City today, immediately on the evacuation by Obrcgon's troops. Word came from American Consul Silliinan that lie had delivered to Gen. Carranza the formal note from the United States government demanding an improvement in conditions for for- ' eigners in territory under Carranza's control. Will be Serious. These wc-i'c the principal develop- 4 1 ments in the Mexican situation, the importance of which today overshadowed in ofhcin! Washington interest i in the European war. Although the contents of tlie note to Carranza were ' not announced, its tone impressed members of the diplomatic corps that . -p c serious consequences wouid ensue if Carranza failed to heed its demands The United States, it was learned. described conditions as "intolerable," . and called on Carranza to take steps j necessarv to correct th^ Ritimiirm t?_ cendiary utterances of Gen. Obregon ^ were noted as likely to stir up feeling ^ against foreigners, giving rise possibly to riots and outrages. The note pointed out that if harm ' befell foreigners the American government would hold Carranza officials 11 "personally responsible" and would ^ take the necessary means to impose the responsibility where it belonged. The communication was not in the s nature of an ultimatum. President j Wilson himself declared that the Unit ed States did not utter ultimatums but presented , tew? and acted accord jngly, To Police C'ily. In view of the American warning ( it was considered likely that Obregon ^ forces would not evacuate Mexico City without arranging for the polic- j ing of the city. R ports that evacuation had begun and that no disorders had arisen brought a feeling of relief to officials v. ho believed Carranza would not fail to answer the Ameri... ... i ^ can government with Uic requisite action for the protection of foreigners. ' There was an absence in official 1 quarters of apprehension that drastic measures would be required to enforce the American note. The movement of warships to Mexican waters and the warning to Americans, it is admitted, however, had been decided on out of an abundance of precaution. The entry of Zapatista forces, it was believed, would relieve the situation, as it would mean the reopening of communication with the American border. Only lo Show Attitude. The sending of the warships to Vera Cruz, it was stated on high authority, was for the nurnoso of con-! vincing Carranza of tho determination of the United States to take drastic steps if finally compelled by circumstances to do so. In view of the interruption of railroad communication between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, except for miitary purposes, tho state department was prepared to insist that trains be provided for Americans who desire to reach the sea. The Carranza agency here issued another denial tonight of reports of Gen. Obrcgon's activities, giving a telegram from Obregon himself denying that he had interfered with shipments of food to the city. President Wilson himself indicated that some of the reports about conditions in the capital were exaggerated, but said the fear of riots and outrages and the food famine had brought about a serious situation. It is known, too, from reports from the Brazilian minister that Gen. Obregon rt fused transportation facilities for the international relief committee to bring supplies into the Capital. It is believed tonight a reply from CarraKza would be received tomorrow but with the evacuation of Mexico City and the return of the Zapatistas,! who, ,u\ uhing to official reports, policed the city well when they last were in command, officials were inclined to believe the crisis would be pass eh without serious difficulty. The Curran^a agency here announced tonight that the following* and 1)' on roc: ived fivm Gen. Obregon in reply to a telegram ashing for information about conditions in Mexico City: "I note what you say in regard to the perfidious efforts of the reaction-' arics to uisseninate false information J in the Tinted States in regard to conditions in .Mexico City for the purpose aT /] 1 OA 1?A ill 1 ? * ?v ^ 1* ^ ..

When I levied the extraordinary assessment on the merchants, bankers, business and professional men in general in an effort to alleviate the poverty-stricken condiions of the poor, the foreigners engaged in business here, through the minister of France, petitioned the first chief at Vera Cruz to be exempted from its provisions. Mr. Carranza j < granted their request and since then 1 these foreign merchants have been fav | orably disposed to our cause. i ".Many of the business men, bankers ] and merchants gladly paid the tax ] imposed and others stated their will-1 ing ness to comply with it if given ad-1 1 liitional time. They are now daily en- 1 ilei.voring to meet its requirements. ' No Food Blockade. ; "It is utterly false that 1 have pre- 1 rented food at any time from entering Mexico City or at any time took < supplies from the city to furnish them ' to the army. "Owing to the depredations of the ; Zapatistas, the water supply has been , 1 short, but every effort has been made I 1 f, ? o remedy this condition.

The follow- ' ng is an extract from the report r made by the correspondents and pub- j ished in La Prenza:: \ Not Maltreated. t " 'After many of the priests had 1 ingly informed us that they had not ( ?een maltreated, they requested Can- \ >n Juon Climaco Ramirez to voice the i ontiments of the entire group. The ' r v 'enerablo prelate spoke as follows: '*' "We have been well treated b(v ] ill the chiefs and olVicers who, I bcV* ' ic\e, belong to the stair of Gen. Cas- ' to.

"In connection with the information that has been received in the United States, I would call your attention to the fact that certain sources of information greatly relied upon by the United States are poisoned against the constitutionalist cause. Every occasion is taken by those 'worthy senors' to put us in the worst light possible.
