Correspondent

railway line leading to Mexico City.
1t was said that Mas had called upon
the federal garrisons at Orizaza and
Puebla Cordoba to send reinforce
ments and field guns.
These reports did not cause the
American naval authorities much anx-
iety, but they did have the effect of
increasing the watchfulness Of the In
vading forces.
Double lines of sentries were posted
along the railway terminals in the
western part of the city with orders to
report at once to the military authori-
ties at the United States consulate if
they saw any large bodies of Next

Marines on Police Duty
to Prevent More Disorder.
American Consul w. w. Canada and
Rear-Admiral Badger Thursday pre-
pared a proclamation of martial law
and sailors and marines will be used
for police duty throughout the city to
prevent disorder.
The battleships Michigan, Louisiana
and Minnesota, the latest to arrive,
anchored in the inner harbor so as
to make the landing of additional sail
ors and marines easy.
Sailors detailed to mortuary duty
reported that the heaviest loss of life
among the Mexicans occurred around
the naval academy and arsenal, which
were vigorously shelled by the Arkah-
sas late Wednesday.
This bombardment was brought
about by fierce attack upon Ameri-
! cans by Mexicans who had taken ref.
uge in those buildings. About 200
Mexicans barricaded themselves in the
naval academy and opened brisk rife
fire upon the American sailors and mat
rines massed in the market place.

Vera Cruz, April 24.-The stars and
stripes wave over Vera Cruz, but only
after heavy loss of life to the at
lacking force of American marines
and bluejackets and to the ,Mexicans
who defended the city
A dozen Americans were killed and
from $50 to 500 Mexicans were shot
down while persistently resisting the
advance of the United States forces.
More than two hundred Mexicans
were taken prisoners and lodged on
board the protected cruiser San Fran
cisco.
Acting under orders from Rear Ad-
miral Badger, American sailors and
marines started early Thursday to
clean up the city and to capture or
drive out the Shippers" or Mexican
sharpshooters, who have kept up an
intermittent fire upon the invaders
since landing forces first touched
Mexican soil on Tuesday.
Detachments of Americans made an
organized search through all houses
thanking the streets. In some instances
the hidden Mexican irregulars gave
battle and hand-to-hand fighting in
the dirty, dark rooms Of the adobe

Throughout the night sentrfes
drawn from the ranks of the sailors
and marines paced through the streets,
keeping a keen outlook for bands OF

At times the powerful searchl1gnts
of the American men of war swept the
sand dunes north and south of the city
or lighted a brilliant path along the
harbor front. On shore the stiffness
was punctuated by the crack OF r1f1e
fire. Sentinels who passed steadily to
and fro at times fired upon forms
which moved with suspicious stealth
through the shadows The fire occa-
sionally was returned and from time
to time the scattering shots seemed to
resolve themselves into mild volleys.
Most of the 1000 sailors and ma
rines slept in the open, wrapped In
thick service blankets, for the nights
are chilly and fog blew in from
the harbor. The bivouac of the Amer
lean army in the streets Of the par
tally blasted city made a picturesque
scene.

in deposits of S284.OO9O2 And in making this comparison 1t must be considered that the statement of a year ago was made only two days be- fore the paydays while that of this year was made after pay days which makes the last statement even more favorable than it appears in such com parison.
 In Cochise county there are eleven banks with nearly SO percent of the deposits and resources in the four in the Warren District These eleven banks contain one sixth of the de posits and have more than a sixth of the resources of the banks of the state. Such deposits grew from S5.- 817.99815 to $6,355, ,519.49 or $537, ,521.- 34 the resources increasing $528,2246 466 and from S6.742,3Ss.82 to $7,370, ,613.48. And it is safe to say that had the statements been taken on the same date this year as last still greater gains would have been shown for the banks of Douglas and the banks of Bisbee in the county statement would have shown better directly before than just after pay days to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars.
 In all of the 59 banks of the state the resources increased from S37 7.O73,- 7S2.37 to S41,27S, 26799 or $4I94 .585.- 62 and deposits from S301T7 .374.29 to SS4,394569.14 or s4,21719A85.
