Washington, July_2.—Faced with un- | paralleled conditions of famine and an- archy in the City of Mexico, threaten- | ing the safety of foreigners, officials of the United States are giving serious consideration to measures of relief. Long dispatches sent by courier to Vera.Cruz by the Brazilian minister at the City of Mexico are before Secre- tary Lansing and President Wil- gon, who may authorize. an effort to obtain the consent of General Carranza ‘to send supplies into the old capital through neutral agen- cies. The influence of the diplomatic corps in the City of Mexico is being counted on to provide for the removal of foreigners from danger zones of the fighting. j “Only the opening of the railroad from the City of Mexico to’ Vera Cruz,'! said one of the Brazilian minister's messages, ‘“‘can bring relief to the sit- uation.” The dispatches, the first the depart- ment has received in nearly two weeks from the Mexican capital, revealed that while the cable from the city was not cut Carranza authorities refused to permit messages to pass. It is understood inquiry will be made by the United States of General Carranza to learn the responsibility for the stop- Page of diplomatic communications. While it appears that the Zapata forces still are in control of the capi- tal, fighting is continuing in the out- | skirts of the city against the reen- forced columns of Gen. Pablo Gon- zales, the Carranza commander. The political situation in Mexico, it is generally believed, is dependent upon military operations. Continued success by the Zapata forces in resist- ing the entry of Carranza’s troops into the capital has deadlocked operations in the south while in the-vicinity of Aguas Calientes General Villa claims to have retaken Lagos and defeated General _ Hill, who succeeded General Obregon in active command of the Carranza forces. This report is con- tradicted by Carranza officials, who declare Obregon is having continuous successes. y Steel Plant Back to Work.
