that General Mas, the federal gen.
eral. might make a return attack on
Vera Cruz. with reinforcements and
the possible necessity of a forward
movement toward Mexico City to pro-

regarded the seizure Of Vera Cruz as
a violation Of Mexican sovereignty had
been considered by the administration.
While Mexican constitutionalists hero
protested that Carranza's real att.
