which faces the main plaza. was cap
tured, Lieutenant-Comma Buchan
an of the Florida made an inspection

Chief of Police Captured.
Chief OF Police Antonio Villa Vim
cencio was taken prisoner by the
Americans shortly after they had oc
cupied the main plaza of the city. 1t
was suggested to him that he con
tinue in his official capacity to direct
the city's protective system. He TOOK
the question under advisement. Had
the frightened mayor made up his
mind to accede to Admiral Fletcher
suggestion. which was made through
Consul Canada, the MeXicans might
have been spared the humiliation OF
being forced from their positions and
undoubtedly d number OF lives would
not have been sacrificed.
When Admiral Fletcher directed
that battalions OF bluejackets and ma
rines De landed from Rear Admiral
Badgers ships before dawn and be
drawn up in the plaza before the rail
road station, thence to proceed to
take the entire town, he acted only
after warning and after 10 shells
from the Prairie's three-inch guns had
been thrown into the steel framework
of the new market, which faces Mar

fire came from rifles in the market

roof. The column moved steadily for
ward until the first company haC
passed beyond the college and the re
mainder were covering the whole from
close against the wall.
Suddenly a spatter of rifle firing
broke out Flashes from the rifles
were plainly visible in the upper win
down of the college and along the
roofs. The jackies stood their groun(
! pluckily Some of them huddled Close
to the wall to avoid the rain of steel
jacketed bullets from above. while 9th

directly in front of the building. Thes'
bluejackets dropped on their stOmach
and lifted their rifles high to get
range on the windows above. FINAL.

Men in Front Undaunted.

The tackles in front held their
places. however. and the Prairie sent
shell after shell from her three-inch
battery into the windows OF the col
lege; huge columns OF red dust ieaped
upward as each shot went home. The
Chester also joined in, and with a
roar her six-inch shells tore great gaps
in the roof of the college. Far to the
right of the harbor the mine ship San
Francisco opened with her tive-inch
guns, and, taking the front of the col
lege, shot out window after window,
planting the shells with the precision
Of target practise.
After 10 minutes of firing the Prai-
RE and the San Francisco ceased and
the column of jackies formed again
and pushed ahead, deploying around
| the front of the college. A few shots
were directed at them, but none came
| from the college. The Chester contin
ued hurting shells into any building il
which snipers lurked and also far out
into the suburbs.
! The tackles went ahead without fal
tering, spreading out through the wa
| terfront sections, Selling the high
est buildings and organizing squads Of
| guards at street intersections.
The fire along the front gradually
slackened and then died out, but the
Chester sent a few shots into the
hills before ceasing. The Hancock
with 700 marines on board, and the
'battIeship Michigan arrived too late
to participate in the fighting.
Wounded and prisoners were takeI
aboard the Prairie until the arrival o
the Solace, about noon.
Vera Cruz Thoroughly Cowed.
Conditions in Vera Cruz began Il

Some of the restaurants were opened
and considerable part of the nativ'
population began to appear in tn
streets inspecting the damage done
There were no expressions Of goot
