AGERfTS DEGURE DfinT nr pen ill Ul II1.U SSISHG Deny That Conditions in Mexico Are True as Asserted by News From Officials Women and Children Die in Riot. WASHINGTON, July 7. Strong issue was taken by the constitutionalist agency here with the olficial reports of the agcnt.s of the state department and American Red Cross detailing "pitiful conditions" in Mexico and painting a gloomy outlook as to the early prospects of getting aid to the starving people and bringing peace to the republic. The agencv issued a statement declaring the "first authentic statement of the food stuff situation in .Mexico" received in Washington since the airival in Vera Cruz of lied Cross Agent O'Connor, showed that "if he (O'Connor) expected to find the highways and byways of Mexico lined with ! starving citizens and famine stalking j rampant throughout the republic ho i met a rude shock." j "Mr. O'Connor discovered that the I immediate need to the thousands had i beeu t!a,rantly enlarged." It added. "Also he was made acquainted with the tact that the allegations that Mexican food depots were aurstinu ; with undistributed provender held by j the military authorities were likewise untrue. He diseoercd that the sup-! plies of grain and other food had not i been appropriated by the military j commanders at the expense of the ; populace." j It is ; rgind th:t ('Connor went to Mexico "empty handed." whereas if the Ke: ! o.-s had been sat:stied of j the aect racy of their famine reports,! Mr. O'Connor would have been aeconi- ! panhd by "r'lief expeditions." ! This statement failed to eh; lr-zo the j belief ii- o'!':e:;i! eireles- that the otfi- ' cial --o t niment reports wou'd sme' to nd h" jeriid of waiting for the; factions t" eoniply with Pres't Yil- j son's ,p 'iiamls. The i i ;! nsus was. however, that 1 nothing would be done until the pres- , id' nt i turns from li is vaeation at j Gortdsh. He is understood to hae been aeouainted with the cor cl usiop.s reached by the Bed Gross authorities that relief cannot be -:rn to the starving until the fighting has stopped. and is tring to determine 'he best means of remedying the situ: tion. ; Bf-jmrts of Villa victories and renewed attacks of the Carraezaistas in Mexico Gjf- have convinced otfieia's that there is small chance of in tarly was exef Yilla pence a-reement, pe.-ted :'rom the ofiicials In re-. and little conference MI'NICO CITY.
