naming on board ship in the Vera
Cruz harbor, they are openly eX-
pressing their desire to go back home
The two days of fighting was the first
any of them ever saw and they want
to get back' to their relatives and
sweethearts' while their glory is fresh.
"From John Smith, Vera Cruz, Mex
leo, U. S. A" is the way nearly all
the marines and blue jackets are
now marking their mail to the States.
When the flag was formally hoisted
and saluted, the navy men became
convinced that the United States had
taken complete possession of this ter
ritory to hold for all time and they
regarded Vera Cruz as United States
ground. Some of the more enterprisine
Cf the boys today were making in
quiries as to how to buy land in Vera
Cruz and secure title to it. They were
informed that any realty deal in Vera
Cruz at this chaotic time would BE-
a bit risky.
The MeXicans are very fond of
music and they are used to listen
ing to it all day long and half the
night, but they have not yet come to
approve of the American marine bands
which give concerts daily in the Plaza
and at the Terminal. The natives
think the American music too loud
and they do not care for ragtimo.
The ravy bands play "Get Out and Get
Under" so it can be heard mile
away. The Mexicans like grand opera
played softly. Accordingly the past
two Gays native string bands have
been going about the streets playing
in the cafes. They play such things
as LA Paloma," the sextette from
Lucia" and the dixie. No matter how
the listening Americans are enjoy
ing the latest tango or maxixe rar
in the Plaza, if a soft pedal native
orchestra strikes up anywhere in the
town, the Mexicans quickly vanish
from the Portalles and gather where
their own music is dispensed.
All of the native enterprises, char
acteristic of Mexico are flourishing.
The burro peddlers, corresponding to
the push cart vendors of New York's
Lower East Side are out en- masse.
On all the streets donkeys loaded down
with chickens may be seen. The fowls
mainly Of the dominecker variety
alive, are swung heads down, from
all sides of the saddle and across the
neck of the burro. The vender sits
in the saddle, and thus rides through
the resident districts, where the house,
wives come out into the streets and
bargain for the fowls.
Milk, ice, mineral water, fresh fruits
and beef and mutton are peddled in the
same manner, the vender stringing.
