Washington, Feb. 13. Ambassador
Wilson's 'overnight dispatches were
laid before President Taft today Im
mediately upon his return from Phila

an account of the most disquieting
features of the fighting In Mexico
City the killing of tva American
lvornen yesterday. Administration of
ficials looked with much apprehension
upon the killing of two Americans
and one of the first results of the in
cidents was last night's order to Am
bassador. Wilson to warn all Ameri
cans out of the danger zone.
The president Is keeping in con
stunt touch with the situation from
three points of view. From the dip- ; rflj - batte 0,)eno(l witn

Mexico City, Feb. 13. An
other fierce street battle, which
was expected to be decisive
was begun between federal
troops and Diaz rebels in
Mexico City . , at 8 o'clock this
morning.
The government forces had
the advantage in numbers,
their army totalling 7000 men
against the 3000 revolutionists
under Felix Diaz.

would be. surprised if Diaz and

explained by statements that it was
considered best to leave him in the
state of Mexico to check any possible
advance of Zapatistas.
Although from numerous points the
federal troops have been brought Into
the city, leaving the Zapatistas praoti
cally without opposition, those rebels
appear to have made no combined ef
fort to come to the assistance of Diaz.
: Tt has been broadly hinted that In
the last extremity Kniillano Zapata
would order his hordes of followers
into the capital to the Ni',piort of
President Aladcro, rattier than to u

Both sides have good supplies of
ammunition, notwithstanding their
relentless waste of shot and shell
since Sunday. ' -
Although each side has character
ized the work of the other in refer
ence to the bombardment of the city
as "barbarous and Inhuman," judged
by the laws of civilized warfare, yet
both commanders prepared to sub
ject the city today to an artillery lire
which would Inevitably result in con
siderable destruction of property and
loss cf lifo to nbn-combatants.
liltllc Protection for Non-C'ombatanls
Both sides agTeed that every effort
should be made not to scatter their
fire, but It was not believed that these
efforts would .avail because of the ex.
tent of the field of operations.
Cowed by the frightful pounding oC
shell to which they had been BUbjnot
ed, people of tho city today hid them
selves. Nevertheless, for tho most
part they were protected by walls
pitifully weak when compared with
the high explosive power of the shells
poured out by the guns'of both flght
jpg forces.
Efforts made by the foreign minis
ters to mark a neutral zone were In
effective. Jt was, however, generally
understood that perhaps the safest
district would be Colona Koma. In
which the United States embassy is
located. .
Laredo, Tex., Feb. 13. A circular
telegram Just transmitted to Monterey
by President Madero states that all
day yesterday and last night govern
ment forces bombarded LaCuidadela
and succeeded in destroying one cor
ner of that arsenal occupied by rebel
forces and that the federal comman
der expressed the opinion that today
the government would succeed In tak
ing the Cludadela.
France Keenly Interested In J'lght.
Paris, Feb. 13. The civil war in
Mexico occupies a larger place In
public interest in France at the mo

The french foreign office declines to
make any comment on the situation,

of neutral observation. The foreign

Mexican legation In Paris also, from

This is pdrt. ol the story .brought
here today by passengers from Saltillo,
Mex.. They say also that one freight
train is known to tyave been destroyed
by fire and the fatjj of another freight
is in doubt, since. 1( is rumored it was
attacked. The passenger train, which
left Laredo Tuesday nisht at 9 o'clock,
proceeded in safety about 158 miles
south of thi& Cityito EI Salado, when
the train was attacked by a band of
50 to 100 rebels. : As the train was
entering tjio station the engineer was
fired on. Realizing the danger, ht
reversed the engine, and backed f uli
speed toward Saltillo, pursued by the
rebels ri horseback. The speed of
the mounted band was not sufficient
to overtake the train. Bullets whis
tled among the passengers.
Aboard the train was a party of 50
Welshmen en route to Necaxa, a point
beyond Mexico Cty; to take employ
ment with light?" and power com
pany. When the train returned to
Monterey, they took a train for Tara
plco, saying they will embark at Tam
plco for Vera Cruz, going thence to
Mexico City. , t
Juan Peppe, the express messenger
on the train, said whn the train
reached Salado he had his car open
ready to" thiow out express metier.;
When rebel hulletat struck the- walls
of the car he prostrated himself upon
the floor cf the' ear and escaped In

.Americans Without Fund.
A p aseriger from Mexico City on
last night's train reported that when
he left the capital there were fully
one thousand Indignant '. Americans,
angry because all bank had been
closed since Saturday last and they
were unable to withdraw ' their, de
posit and were without funds to
leave -the country, even if the- oppor
tunity prsenfed. . A large number of
Americans were at ine, raiiroao sta

the northbound trains, but checks
were refused In payment for tickets,
Many American, he believed, are
practically marooned at the Matron
without food, shelter or money. The
railroad oirieialH, however, according
to this passenger, endeavor to do
everything they can to afford shelter
to women and children who have left
their homes and sought refuge at the
railroad stutlorm.

After Long Fight Direct Route, Striking Central Highway
at Durham 4nd Following to Tennessee Line Was .
Adopted To Frame Constitution.
Just before recess today shortly
after 1 o'clock, the Southern National
Highway convention In session at the
Langren hotel passed a motion intro
duced by Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt of
North Carolina designating the route
of the proponed highway to begin at
Washington City, to come south by
Klchmond, thence to Durham, con
necting at that point with -the Central
highway of this state and following
this highway to tlhe Tennessee line.
From that point the highway Is to go
by way of Knoxvllle, Nashville and
Memphis, over into Arkansas by Little
Rock and Texarkana, to go into New
Mexico at a point 80 mile east ofj
Uoswell and thence through Roswell
to El Pao and from that point to San
Diego along the route already desig
nated.
This motion as Anally passed fol

that could possibly arise in the final
settlement of the matter and number

stitutes were offered 'and either ruled

from South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama stood solidly throughout for
