Laredo, Texas, April 24.-The Mexi-
can federal troops set fire to the mu-
nicipal building, custom house, post
office, the United States consulate and
other buildings in NeuvrO Larado
across the Rio Grande from here, and
marched out of town. The town was
being razed by flames this afternoon.
The municipal building was the first
set fire to. Dynamite was then used.
Later the American PATROL Just
across the border, was fired on. A
sharp fight followed, resulting in the
Mexicans being driven back. The Mex
leans then fled toward the interior.
Five Mexicans were killed in the
Neuve Laredo skirfish.
Only the American soldiers sharp
fire saved the international railroad
bridge from being burned, and it was
here that the fatalities occurred.
Immediately after the fight three
trainloads of federal troops left for the
southwark, presumably in response to
the orders or a concentration of the
northern forces at Saltillo.
There were no disorders in Laredo.
The town is guarded by American reg
ulars, besides a company of rangers.

Three Bluejackets Killed and Thirteen

Vera Cruz, April 24.-General Mas
was threatening to attack Vera Cruz
today.
Meas was in military command when
the American forces landed. He an
his family left at once by rail and his
men followed him after last Tuesday 3
short fight.
Fifteen miles inland they camped
and Maas resumed command. Since
then he has been reinforced and today
it was learned he was at Soleda with
an army of about 1900 men. 1t was
expected the aeroplane brought on the
battleship Mississippi would be used to
secure information concerning his
operations.
Major Butler and Captain Rush, who
are in direct charge of the military
forces here were taking all needed
precautions to give the Mexicans q
warm reception if they attempt to
reeapture the city. Admiral Fletcher
also advised Americans here to leave
tho hotels and spend their nights on
board ships in the harbor.
He offered no explanation but the
general belief was that he expected
another battle.
His suggestion came, too, as sur
prise, the hotels and cafes having been
thronged last night, the street cars
running as usual and women and chill
dren venturing cut again. A resump-
tiOn of the city's normal life was just
what the American authorities wanted
and all felt sure Admiral Fletcher
would not have taken a step calculated
to prevent it if he had not had urgent
reasons.
The American officers have com
manded all automobi es in the city 70

Surgeons on the hospital ship Solace
said they thought nore of the wounded
would die and that only three of them
were seriously hurt.
The dead have been embalmed and
will be sent north shortly.
In the past "a hours snipers
killed three more blueiackets and
wounded 13 bluejackets and marines
bringing the total number of casualties

Bulletin-London, April 24.-Two
Americans were stabbed in the streets
of Mexico City, the American flag was
trampled on and conditions there wero
extremely critical, according to news;
paper dispatches received here late to-
day. Only few foreigners the dis

"The British" -" the dispatch added,
"have constructed compound about
their legation, and foreign residents
are congregating there. Americans
were openly threatened and anti

Border Situation Dangerous.
The border situation was admittedly

Mexicans were planning raids and
asked that regiment be rushed to
Brackettsville. Border= residents fear
Huerta will declare war immeditely
and that the federals and rebels will
unite against the United States.
Americas war plans were being care
fully guarded today. 1t was learned
authoritatively, however, that when
the word is finally given to crush
Huerta and take Mexico City two ex-
petitions are planned. One will leave
from Vera Cruz and the other from Ell
Paso. A start from FL Paso is certain
if the rebels assume an unfriendly at
titude. Speaking of two such expedi-
tions an army officer here said
"'The Vera Cruz army must meet Sc

A movement to get sufficient young
men to recruit cavalry troop was
started this morning by Benjamin $.
Via and Attorney Randall. 1t is the
purpose of these young men to form a
troop to join the regiment planned by
Governor West for services in Mexico,
should necessity demand additional
soldiers. 1t is believed enough young
men can be secured to recruit first
class cavalry troop that would be able
to do excellent service in the guerilla
form of warfare that is characteristic
of the Mexican method of making
war.
Telephone communication with Col

no additional information concerning
the probable movement of the regi-
ment to the mobilization camp at

that the tension of the situation had

there would probably be some delay
in developments. He urged no letting

Advices From vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz, April 24.-Eight hundred
Americans were still in Mexico City
today at the mercy of the dictator,
General Huerta.
Anti-American demonstrations were
going on continually.
Blind with anger, Huerta instructed
the police and soldiers not to molest
the mobs which rioted in front of the
American club, tore the coat of arms
from the door of tie United States
consulate and stoned and insultel
Americans who were brave enough to
appear in the streets.
The American club has been aban-
doned After its abandonment it was
looted.

but really it was his intention to go

Since Tuesday, when Vera Cruz was
taken, Americans in the capital have
carried their lives in their hands.
As men worked tirelesslly at tho
ohipuopgj preparing iiilco anu nldNhihc

can colony encouraged them constantly.
No one showed sign of fear.
Mrs. 'Shaughnessy was i'll from

Washington, April 24.-Abandon-
ment of all United States consulates
in Mexico was ordered this afternoon
by the state department.
This was in addition to the closing
of the Mexico City embassy. In Next
co City, Brazil was in charge of Amer
lean interests. Elsewhere they will be
turned over to French consuls, except
in few places where France is un-
represented, and at Vera Cruz and Ac-

No Foreign Mediation.
Foreign mediation between the Unit

This was made clear here this af-
ternoon by Secretary of State Bryan.
He characterized as absolutely with

London dispatches that Sir Arthur

started negotiations toward mediation.
Bryan said it would be impossible to
have any power act as mediator and
doubted that they would even tender

"Gbes Ino;t recognize Huerta, ndver

Bryan also said that no reply had
yet been sent to General Carranza.

day that they expected the constitu-
