The present extent of the damage to the railway (Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico) Is not yet fully known. Two freight trains have been turned loose, one In each direction, and the track torn up over considerable stretches! There Is nothing definite as to tho destruction of fridges though such destruction is stated to have occurred. if the bridges are not dotroyed and no resistance is of fered, railway officials think they may be able to run trains in three or four days. By Revolutionists. “It Is known that the destruction was the work of Revolutionists, ex-Federals under Iligenio Aguilar and Benjamin Arjunedo. The side of this force is va riously estimated at from 3,000 to 6,000 men.

ITROCin TILES EXAGGERATED Stories of Mistreatment of Red Cross Nurses On Battlefields Not True, Writes American. Washington.—Tales of mistreatment of Red Cross nurses on European battlefields are grossly exaggerated, according to George F. Porter, of Chi cago, now In London, who wrote tho American Red Cross here under date of September 17th of his personal in vestigations of reports he had heard. “Atrocities are enormously exagger ated,” the letter states. “X was told by an American woman of forty Bel gian Red Crosa nurses In a London hospital, each with the thumb and first two fingers of each hand cut off. I went to the place and found it a private house belonging to a woman Interested In relief work, who had given her house for nursing and pre paring garments. She would not see me, but I finally got an admission from a responsible person whom I knew, that he whole story was hear say and without foundation. “They did tell me. however, of a Belgian nurse at the St. Thomas Hos pital here with the tendons of her wrist cut. I went there Immediately, saw the secretary of the hospital, and found there was a nurse there but taht Instead of the tendons of her wrist being cut she had burned her wrists by the explosion of a spirit lamp.
