Eleven Enlisted Men Receive $100 and Medal for Extraordinary Heroism and Will Be Advanced to
 Next Higher Rating

Washington, June 14.-Officers and
 men among the American blue jackets and marines who distinguished them selves by conspicuous bravery and he- roism at Vera Cruz, were recognized and rewarded today by the navy depart
 ment. Every one of the 10s singled out for mention in Rear Admiral Fletcher's report of the occupation of the port, was given official commendation in a letter from Secretary Daniels, bringing word in most cases of medals gratui- ties or promotions.
 Secretary Daniels announced the ac- ton of the department in a lettF to
 Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, who directed the operations at Vera Cruz, expressing the departments appreeia- tion of "conspicuously able and cour- aegous performance of duties entailing, as they did, as grave responsibilities as could we'll be placed upon a naval cammonder"
 ''In the departments opinion,'' wrote
 MT. Daniels, your performance of duty at the seizure of Vera Cruz equally en- titles you to all the well merited praise and commendation that has beeen be-
 slowed on the officers and men wh>m you were directing.
 Tt is a pleasure to add that it was fully expected that no matter what ysu were called on to do, it would be done with a spirit and a degree of excel lence that could not be surpassed, and these expectations were met in every
 particular, under circumstances requir- | ing professional ability and skill and courage of the very highest order. Known Throughout Land Your part in the operations at Vera Cruz Is known throughout the length and breadth of the land and so nobly speaks for itself that the department | finds it difficult to embody in a letter
 anything more that could add to the satisfaction of having so capably per formed, under extraordinare conditions, a duty which not only upholds but | adds to the best traditions the service which you adorn.
 Tt is with pleasure that the depart ment places a copy of this letEer on

coal fields will send a large amount Of
coal into the export markets. South
America is making inquiries here and
will have TO have coal soon as her
stocks are nearly depleted. The sit.

running on part time and municipal
ties are curtailing on the electric light
supply. A very heavy movement OF
anthracite coal is expected to begin
