WILSON TO SEND HIS FAMILY HOME

Anti-Foreign Feeling in Mexico Is Very Strong. ANARCHY AND OUTLAWRY REIGN Reports from Consuls In Many Part* of Neighbor Republic -now Dangerous State of Disorder Now Existing. Mexico City, Feb. 23.—Owing to the dangerous anti-foreign feeling pervading Mexico, United States Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson is preparing to send his family to the United States. They will probably leave next week. Washington, Feb. 23. —That a condfition of anarchy and general putlawry exists throughout Mexico, marked by depredations of a most serious character. Involving Americans, British and other foreigners, was made clear in dispatches from the American representatives in that country which have been received at the state department.. These dispatches, coming from more than a score of consuls in the various states, impressed the officials of the state department of the critical stage that has now been reached by the revolution against the Madero government. That women and children are not regarded as safe in Mexico is made plain by the fact that hundreds have been fleeing the country for the past week. At. least three special trains, have brought the refugees across the Rio Grande last three days. Because of this exodus, the indiscriminate pillaging of the insu-rrectos or bandits and many personal appeals for protection, the state department has become apprehensive and has issued a circular order to every consular officer in Mexico requiring at least semi-weekly reports as to the conditions in each district.
