to Atlanta Friends.
Atlanta, Feb. 17.—A letter from
Georgian residing In the City of
Mexico came through to Atlanta
this morning, having been mailed
juat as the outbreak against Madero
was coming to a head.
The letter was ln some respects
re-aasurlng to people who have rela

capital, for It laid stress on the
fact that neither regulars nor reb
els had any Idea of Intentionally de
stroying American property or
harming American citizens.
The danger, so said the writer of
the letter, lay not In Intentloalal
hostility toward Americans In the
city, but In the fact that shot and
ah ell would soon be flying so thick
that nobody’s safety could be guar
anteed .
