ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING IS DYING OUT Americans Cancel Bookings On Trains Out of Mexico City Streets of Mexico City Well Policed and Stores Re-open Today Will Interpret Carranza'a Note. as Friendly and Appeal for Lifting Embargo Re fugees in Pitiable Condition Swamp Galveston Villa Favors Mediation. Special to The Robesonian from Caro lina News Bureau, Charlotte. London, April 27 Advices received here from Mexico City, late Sunday stated that the anti-foreign feeling had almost entirely died out, and that a large number of Americans who had booked passage on the train for the port of Vera Cruz had cancelled the bookings and . would remain in Mexico City indefinitely. General Victoriano Huerta, true to his promise has keept the streets of the city exceptionally well policed. Many of the stores which closed their doors because of the war riot . ing during the past week have given public notice that they would open their places of business Monday if the city continued to remain quiet. Juarez, Mexico, April 27 Raael Zu beran, a Constitutionalist Cabinet member and member of General Car ranza'a staff is reported to have left this city secretly last night, for Wash ington to deliver to Secretary of tSate Bryan, an explanation of the note re cently sent the American Government by General Carranza, head of the Con stitutionalist forces and government, which mesawi.J.Strpreted1 toy the Washington authorities as a threat of the Constitutionalist to join the Huer ta de facta government to repel Amer ican invasion. It is believed here that Seno Zuba- ran will tell the American Secretary of State that General Carranza and the Constitutionalists forces do not desire to be drawn into the imbroglio with the Huerta de facto government and will make a strong personal ap peal for the lifting of the .embargo that has been placed 'on munitions of war by the American government. Galveston Texas, April 27 United States immigration officials here have been completely swamped by the un precedented influx of refugees from th Mexican rpublic. Up to an early hour this afternoon 2500 had arrived, and it was authoritively stated that 2,000 more was expected to arrive within the next 24 hours. Hundreds of the refugees are pen niless and are in a most pitable con dition. Many are on the verge of a physical collapse from extreme priva tions and very narrow escapes from death . Washington, April 27 Secretary of State Bryan went into conference with President Wilson at 10 o'clock this morning. Juarez, Mexico, April 27 General Francisco Villa is authoritively re ported as saying that he favors me diation as proposed by the three South American republic, Chile, Brazil and Argentine, in order that the Consti tutionalists may promptly carry on to successful completion their revolu tion to restore Constitutional Govern ment in Mexico Arrangements have been completd for promptly removing all Amrican refugees to points of safety . ENGLAND. FRANCE AND GERM ANY ADVISE HUERTA TO YIELD Washington, April 27 Advices re ceived by the State Department state" that England, France and Germany have Advised General Huerta to ac cept the demands of the United States government.

MARTIAL LAW AT VERA CRUZ Admiral Fletcher Becomes Absolute Ruler Ashore. Vera Cruz Dispatch, 26th. Vera Cruz- tonight is under martial law. Rear Admiral Frank. F. Flet cher, commanding the American na val forces on shore today issued a pro clamation to this effect and the last opportunity Mexicans had for hand ling their own affairs in Vera Cruz under their own laws disappeared. Admiral Fletcher and his staff de termined there should be no more quibbling with the Mexican officials regarding form of government and un til further notice residents of this port will live and be judged by mili tary law. The word has gone forth that disorder and unruliness in any form shall receive .swift and severe . punishment. This proclamation makes Rear Admiral Fletcher absolute ruler ashore. First to Register Under Torrens' Sys tem. Messrs. White & Gough through their attorneys, Messrs. Lennon & Stacy, were the first Robesonians to register, a land title .under the Tor rens' system as passed by the last Legislature. This plan, though a lit tle expensive, is thought to be the safest way of registering land titles; Under this law the clerk of the Super iors court has to appoint three men to examine titles . Messrs . Wade Wish nrt, R. A.' McLean and Junius J. Goodwin have been appointed for this work by Clerk of Court C. B. Skip per. . BRAZIL, ARGENTINE AND CHILE OFFER MEDIATION President Wilson Accepts Reported 'That Huerta Also Has Accepted ' Wilson nopes for ePace But is Not Confident of Results. Spanish Ambassador Riano an nounced last night at Washington that he had received private advices from Mexico City stating that General Huerta had accepted the offer of Ar gentina, Brazil and Chile to use their good offices to bring about an ami cable settlement of the difficulty be tween the United States and Mexico. This information though unofficial was accepted as authentic by the Am bassador, who expects to be prepared to place General Huerta's formal ac ceptance before the representatives of the three South American countris to day. The interests of the Huerta Govern ment in the United States were taken over by the Spanish Embassy when Charge Algara left Washington. Am bassador Riano received the offer of good offices from the three peace en voys Saturday night. It was cabled immediately to Mexico City. When the formal acceptance from Mexico City is in hand oSuth Ameri icans will be ready to proceed with their plan, no intimation of the nature of which as yet has been given. It generally has been understood at Washington, however, that the peace envoys expect to deal directly dith the situation created- by the Tarapirtf in cident and other offenses against the honor and dignity of the United Etetes'ii Administration officials appeared to be gratified at the prospect at having proposals of the great South' Ameri can Republic listened to by General Huerta. Washington Dispatch, 25th. Pan-American diplomacy tonight made its first attempt to solve the Mexican crisis by peaceful negotia tion . The United States Government ac cepted from Argentine, Brazil and Chile a formal offer to act as interme diaries in the present situation, but re servedly pointed out that an act of aggression by the military forces, or hostile demonstrations towards Ameri icans might upset the homes of Imme diate peace." Coincidentally with the acceptance of the mediation offer, Administration officials announced there would be no cessation of preparations by the Army and Navy for future emergencies and no orders would be issued to the na val forces with Vera Cruz or the ships at cea, changing original plans. No further steps, however, to secure rep ration for the indignities, which erave rise to the present situation will be attempted while the effort is being made to bring about a settlement through diplomacy. IDEAL HEALTH DISTRICT. State Board of Health Seaching Out Desirable Locations Dr. Leonard Looking Over Robeson. Dr. G F. Leonard, of the State Board of Health, with headquarters at Raleigh, arrived this morning and will spend several days in Robeson with a view to locating a section for placing a man in charge to see just what can be done in making an ideal health district. There will be five of these districts established iithe State and it is to be hoped that some section of Robeson will be chosen for one of the districts. The section would cov er about 25 square miles and would be under the supervision of a man fur nished by the State Board of Health. Huerta Has Completed Plans to Flee From Country. By William G. Shepherd, staff corres pondent of the United Press. Vera Cruz, April 24 In the event of a crisis Huerta has made all prep arations for flight. His plan is to de clare that he is leaving for the front. With him he will have a small body of soldiers known as the battalion of the supreme powers. He will elude these, according to his plan, and will seeking refuge on Japanese -cruiser at Manazillo, on the Pacific coast. The papers print what Huerta or ders. Th probability is that in ar ranging to escape the dictator will cause papers to print that there is great danger from rebels on the Pa cific coast and that it is necessary for him to go to the front. It is well known that he has made strenu ous efforts to keep the road toward the Pacific clear of rebels. The re port, therefore, will be an untruth, but it will give Huerta the necessa ry excuse for leaving, the capital. Blight Killing Fruit Trees. Mr. C. K. Margan of Marietta is among the visitors in town today. Mr. Morgan says that most all the pear and apple trees in his section are dy ing from the effects of some kind of a blight. He also says the farmers down his way are anxiously waiting for rain so theycan get their tobac co plants out. Rheumatic Pains Relieved.

I EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY Great Advancement Being Made Along AH Lines in Robeson Out in the Country is the Real Place to See It Modern . Residences and Barns, Up-to-date Farm Machinery. Robeson is making great advance ment along all lines. Its towns, as a whole, are making great advance ment, but in rural districts can be seen more real advance ment than in . the towns. Old resi dences are being replaced with hand some new structures, in many in stances homes that would be a credit to large cities. New barns, mod ern in every respect, are taking the place of the old unsightly ones. The country girls have their beautiful yards of flower just as the town giris toihave theirs. The farmers are sup - j plying themselves with the new and I up-to-date farm machinery that 1 saves them much toil and worry. In nrrvr i n many sections of the great "State of Robeson" the farmers are fencing their land with wire and are using tiling instead of the unsightly ditches As was remarked by a Lumbertonian who recently took a drive out in the country, "to see the great advance ment our country is making one has to I (rat. out. in t.hp rnnntrv " j Mr L R Varser Will Be Memorial l Day Orator. !' r,.,, t a M.Aiiiefo- Camp Robeson the law McLean in Lumberton this year, As May 10 comes on Sundav the day will be celebrated on Saturday, the 9th.
