Spectal Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, May 18.—More than cne thousand homesick Cholos are anx- jously awaiting a summons to their na- tive land and are expecting that it will come direct from President Diaz and that he will find a way of providing them transportation.

For a time they prospered, but now that construction work is not what it was on railroads, they find it impossible to keep pace with American push and enterprise and as a result scores of families have become public charges. General Andrade, Mexican Consul in Los Angeles, has taken up the matter directly with President Diaz, with the result that he has been summoned to the Mexican capital to fully report upon the positions f the pobr Mexicans here. —_————————— Annoyed by Similarity of Names.
