Americans Stay in Capital Stoppage From Mexico City
Americans remain in Mexico City as a mass exodus from the capital has all but ceased. Reports from Mexico City on Sept 3 indicate that travel to the United States has slowed dramatically and most residents have chosen to stay put despite earlier fears of disruption. Local officials say normal life is resuming with markets, schools, and transport operating more steadily.
Uncertain Mexican Situation Draws Diplomatic Moves
A mass of Americans arriving from interior points sought consular aid but reported no travel plans yet. Better classes refuse steerage and await sanitary American transport, while Consul General Shanklin has received no notice of such a vessel. Lind, Wilson’s envoy, would not return to Mexico City without a serviceable role to reopen talks, and Hale’s Washington visit hints at new developments.
