senger steamer will leave Vera Cruz
Saturday. and assurances have been
given that evacuation by the American
forces will not take place before Sun
day Beyond that no announcement
has been made.

is the transfer of customs receipts
amounting to more than, s1,000,000 col
lected during the American occupancy
of Vera Cruz
Word has come to Washington that
Carranza proposed to reimpose these
customs dues on all goods upon which
payment had been made to the Ameri-
can authorities at Vera Cruz. To this
proposition the United States govern
ment, which received payment from
Vera Cruz importers in good faith. has
let it be known that unless assurances
came that no one would be subjected to
double taxation the money collected

Food Shortage on West Coast.

Food Shortage on vest Coast.
Rear Admiral Howard, commanding
the American naval forces of the
Pacific coast of Mexico, reported to the
Navy Department yesterday that there
was a shortage of food all along the
west coast and that the populace of
Acapulco faced starvation. Foodstufrs
were not available at any price, he
said. Transportation both by land and
rail virtually is at a standstill along
the Pacific coast, and inasmuch as the
revolutionary activities of the past
three years have engaged the great
masses of the people, only meager
crops have been grown.
Admiral Howard says it is absolutely
necessary that corn and rice be pro-
vided promptly for Acapulco.
Desultory firing about Acapulco is
mentioned in the message, but this is
not understood by officials here to in
volve the present issues under discus
sion between the ENJOYS of Villa and
Carranza. They say there is turmoil
throughout the entire state of Guer-
rero, of which Acapulco is the principal
port, indicating the urgent need of the
early establishment of a strong CEN
trail government in Mexico.
