The attention of officialdom of the United States was fixed today on Mexico City. A situation paralleling that at Pekln during the Boxer uprising exists. Vague rumors of outrages against foreigners, of Americans falling victims to the blood-lust of Mexican peons Inflamed by drink are reaching the capital. None is confirmed. in touch with his cabinet at all times.

The admitted fact, that Huerta had refused to permit all Americans to accompany O'flhaughnessy and that all Americans had been disarmed by the dictator's orders had a very sinister sound. Why this was done It Is not clear to officials. There are fears that certain men were singled out to be kept in the capital. One my of hope existed here. That was that the Americans may have taken refuge In the other foreign embassies and legations.

If they have they may be safe as even Huerta would hesitate a long time before countenancing any general attack on foreigners. Officials at the navy department confidentially admitted that If Americans have been killed or if any considerable portion are besieged by mobs it may be necessary to rush an expedition of bluejackets and marines Inland from Vera Cruz with orders to enter the capital at any cost. They hope the hand of the United States will not be forced until Funston and his men, and especially his heavy artillery, can get to Vera Cruz. They admit that the situation is fraught ft 7 about, had resumed command of the senate committee on foreign relations, lie visited the White House and the State department but said he had nothing to say regarding the government's plans. Anxiously waiting but ready to strike vigorously any where was the attitude.

Until word comes from Mexico City, and the various points in interior Mexico where Americans are marooned are practically prisoners and hostages of war, no further warlike mea-surea will be taken. But the apprehension increases as time goes on and no apparent solution of the entire difficulty, or plan for further action, is worked out. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz transmitted various reports of the arrest of Americans and other foreigners, rumored to be facing execution. The state department cabled him back to make every endeavor to get full authentic facts at once. None can be confirmed so long as Huerta holds the other end of the wires leading Into the Mexican capital.

Officialdom discredits these reports. Secretary of State Bryan insisted that he believed Huerta would try to protect the 800 Americans who are still in his capital; The president hoped there was nothing to the rumors. But despite this hope, the state department wag vainly trying; to get Into communication with Mexico City through th Brazilian embassy, which now represents us In Mexico, and other embaa-Bles here.

True, it Is the phase which the men, women and children who crowd up the main entrance and hand In their checks to see the glamour and glitter under the "big top," look for and applaud. But there is another and gentler side to this fascinating world of the sawdust and epangles. It lies heyond the great red curtain which separates the arena from the dressing tents. What exists beyond Is not revealed excepting to those favored few who are admitted during the hours of performance.

And yet any may learn, in a less intimate way, Just what the mysterious red curtain conceals by following the drawn cavalcade from the railroad yards to the show grounds whenever the circus comes to town.
