Battleships Leave Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz, Mex, December 4.-The United States squadron, comprising the battleships Minnesota, Kansas. Michigan and South Carolina, under command of Rear Admiral Fletcher, concluded its visit and sailed at sundown.
 Admiral Fletcher came ashore this aft ernoon and repaid the official call Of Gen eral Augustn Vsldez, military com mander of the district. Officers of the squadron enjoyed few hours of shore leave, but owing to limited time this privilege was denied the men.
 Visitors to Vera Cruz, both American and Mexican, many of whom came from the capital and interior towns, were keenly disappointed at not being able to go aboard the warships But although the weather was fine, the heavy swell made boarding difficult and dangerous.
 General Valdez went out to the flagship in 8 Mexican launch and was drenched; he was glad to return in the Admirafs launch The Minnesota fired Il guns in honor of his rank as brigadier.
 The Minnesota and Kansas are pro- ceeding for Philadelphia: the Michigan and South Carolina for Norfolk.
