Vera Cruz, April 2S.-The ceremony
of the raising of the Stars and Stripes
over Vera Cruz yesterday afternoon,
was an impressive one and, in its
raising, history was repeated. 1t was
on the same spot that in 1S47 General
infield Scott broke to the breeze the
American colors as he landed to be-
gin his march at the head fthe Amer
lean troops on to Mexico City.
The ceremony was carried out in
the presence of Rear Admiral Badger,
commander chief of the Atlantic
fleet; Rear Admiral Fletcher and the
1900 men from Admiral Fletcher's
ships, who took the city from the
Mexicans April 81. AS a mark of spe-
cial distinction for bravery shown in
action, Chief Quartermaster Jeffs OF
the battelship Florida made the big
American standard fast to the hal
yards on the staff erected over the
Terminal Hotel and Captain Frederick
H. Delano, adjutant of the marine
battalion on the Prairie, Major Quick
of the Utah and Ensign Edward Nc
Donnell of the Florida, hauled away
until the flag broge out in a wave of
color at the top of the staff amid the
strains of 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," played by the massed bands of
the Florida and Utah, to the thunder
of the saluting guns from the Mime
sofa in the inner harbor and the
cheering of refugees who recently es-
capped from Mexico City.
Long before the time set for the
ceremony Americans from all parts
of the city started toward the plaza.
The first of the fighting men to ar
rive were Colonel Neville's battalion
of marines, marching in column of
fours, clad in khaki. Col. Neville and
the field officers, who were mounted,
took their places in front of the bat
talon, while the band of the Utah

TARIFF FOR CAR

In Eastern classification territory, 1t
is estimated that there are nearly a.,

would increase the revenues OF the

A charge for car "spotting' Is one
of the ways proposed to increase the

An effort will be made by shippers,
to have the tariffs, which are filed
to be effective on 80 days. notice, sus-

that action would serve to bring the

Property Owned by a British
Concern, Vera Cruz, Monday

the military authorities are using rail-
road men who have just arrived in
Vera Cruz and who offered their SER
vice in any capacity.
Six Federal soldiers who wandered
too close to the American lines were
captured late yesterday by marines.
There is not any desire among the
Americans to attack or in any way
assume the offensive against the Mex
leans, so when the marines found
themselves in possession of a squad
of Huerta's soldiers, they did their
best to entertain them. They gossiped
with the Mexicans regarding the news
beyond the lines, and after field
luncheon shook hands with them and
sent them away.

Another report which was discussed
was the possibility that the three in
termediaries might visit Mexico City
to talk with Gen. Huerta face to face.
1t is known that the ENJOYS have not
yet completed their plans but the long
interval that would elapse in their
trip and the difficulties that might
arise in leaving their official duties
here, it is realized, would considerably
affect such a plan.
Order to Gen. Funston
General Funston found awaiting him
at Vera Cruz today this order:
Acting in compliance with instruc-
tons received from the President, the
secretary of war directs that on your
arrival at Vera Cruz, Mexico, with
your command, you relieve the navy
of it's duties ashore incident to the
occupation and control of Vera Cruz,
Mexico, and environs.
THE secretary of war is explicitly
required by the President to say to
you that the President entirely ap-
proves in every respect of the course
which Admiral Fletcher has pursued
in the occupation, control and manage
ment of the City of Vera Cruz since
mis- landing; that he has the greatest
confidence in Admiral Fletcher's judg-
ment; has learned to depend upon
mis- long acquaintance with the situa-
ton there for guidance, and desires
that you keep in close touch and con-
sultation with the admiral and seek
to continue in intimate harmony with
him the policy he has installed there,
except so far as changes of circun-
stances may demand a different
course.
Orders are to be issued by the
President through the navy depart
ment detaching the marine corps con-
tingent at Vera Cruz for service with
the army, the effect of which orders
will be to place the marine corps con-
tingent as detached, under your COM
mand"

could not affect the orders to General
Funston.
General Funstons instructions were
to land Immediately upon arrival and
assume supreme command of the land
forces.
Rear Admiral Fletcher who has been
directing operations up to this time,
will, therefore. return to his flagship,
the Florida, withdrawing also all of
the bluejackets. That part of the ma

however, have been detached from the
navy and now become part of Cen
