Americans Quit Empalme.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 11, 1913:
Admiral Cowles Reports Their Removal to Warships.
    WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— Safe removal of American citizens desiring to leave the danger zone in the vicinity of Empalme, Mex., was reported to the Navy Department to-day by Rear Admiral Cowles, commanding the American Pacific fleet at Guaymas, Mex. The refugees are being taken care of on the cruiser Pittsburg and the supply ship Glacier, and will be sent to the United States, according to Admiral Cowles's wireless despatch.
    "The local authorities," reported the Admiral, "have delivered over L.H. Morrison to the commander of the Pittsburg for transportation to the United States, and William Zierick, now being taken care of on the Glacier, will go north on that ship. The Consul made all arrangements for transportation from Empalme to Guaymas for Mrs. G.C. White and Mrs. H.I. Martin, in order to take them in the Pittsburg.
    "General Manager Hines of the Southern Pacific Company ordered an Empalme railroad official north by rail and he has gone that way. Arrangements have been made for transportation by the Glacier for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hopkins, Mrs. David Gibson and five small children."
    The Americans reported removed to the warships are the families of prominent men for whom anxiety had been felt. The Glacier will sail northward to-day or to-morrow, and the Pittsburg will follow later.
