! Vera Cruz, April 2s.-The fortress
sof San Juan De Ulua, notorious for
centuries as perhaps the foulest pris-
on on the American continent, has been
sordered by Rear Admiral Fletcher to
sbe vacated Immediately.
When the American sailors and ma
Iines occupied Vera Cruz there were
jim this prison some 400 prisoners, most
.of whom were charged with political
offences. Three hundred of these men
were released or transferred to other
prisons.
Some Will Be Liberated

Rear Admiral Fletcher today as to
the disposition of the remainder of
the prisoners and was given orders to
Hansfer them 1t is probable that
Aome of the men viii be liberated
n Rear admiral Fletcher's decision to
7emove all the prisoners was reached
After an inspection had been made by
naval officers.
a* The inspection by the American au-
&horities verified the tales that have
been written and told for generations
Qf the terrible conditions prevailing
khere. Many dungeons were below the
Mater line when the tide was running

Nf whom were half blind on account
Nf their long Incarceration, were
Arenched. Other dungeons were con-
Gructed so that 1t was impossible for
The victims to lie down. Ancient de-
vices of torture were discovered and
there was evidence that these recent

II is estimated that the three trains
which were to leave the capital last
night, would carry about 500 refugees.
From Mexico City comes the report
that one American was killed by
mob in front of the Hotel Isabel a
few days ago. His name is not known
here.
f. w. Lehmer, ranch manager
from Tuxtepec, whose home Is in
Omaha and who was on his way to
Vera Cruz for a visit, not knowing of
the developments here, was picked up
at Terra Blanca by Federal soldiers.
II was placed with 10 others in a
train. which was left standing over
night surrounded by mob which con-
tinually threatened to attack u.s." he
said.
Guards Ate All
1.-The guards ate up everything avail
able on the train, compelling us to go
hungry. At every station up to Cordo-
ba, on the following day, similar
crowds looted the train and threatened
us.
TT was due to the fine conduct of
the Mexican colonel that we ever
made the palace at Cordoba. He rush
ed from the door with a squad of po-
lice and soldiers and plunged into the
crowd, scattering them.
Once in the palace we were lodged
upstairs in front of the Jefe Politico's
office, but all night a mob continued
to yell in the streets and several times
we thought they would break in and
try to get us. Later we were put in
the penitentiary, which is in the same
building and for six days we slept
on the stone tagging. There were two
women in the party. one with little
baby.
Monday we were placed on a train
and brought down to Soledad. We
spent that night on the tracks. There
was one passenger coach left for us
and in this the women and children
slept, the rest of US sleeping on the
ground"

COMMANDER TWEEDIE HAS
| SUCCESS IN HIS MISSION TO
PROTECT AMERICAN REFUGEES

1t was planned. according to Com.
mander Tweedie, to start three trains
from Mexico City last night.
1t is regarded as unlikely that Gen.
eral Huerta even if determined to stop
arresting Americans will be able to
get in touch with all the little lead
ers in the south and hold them off
unguarded trains
Mob Danger Past
Commander Tweedie brought assur-
ances that the capital is quiet and
that immediate danger from mobs APP
pears gone.
Sixty-three members of the Medina
colony in the State Of Oaxaca, were
among the refugees who arrived here.
There were held two days in Cordoba,
where they were well treated except
for the fact that they were obliged
to sleep on the floors of the barracks.
]. w. Elliott, a locomotive engineer,
was in TERRA Blanca when news of
the occupation of Vera Cruz reached
him. With his wife and children he
started for Cordoba under guard of
Mexican soldiers. Arrived there, the
guards said they were hungry and de-
manded so pesos on the threat to turn
the Elliott family over to bowling
mob which surrounded the station and
filled the streets.
The money was paid and Elliott and
his family were marched through the
streets for more than a mile, bounded
all the way to the barracks by the mob.
For six days they were kept in the
barracks, during the first two of
which crowds surrounded the place
bowling for their lives. On two oc-
casions. some Of the mob forced their
way into the barracks and, had it not
been for the efforts of the colonel and
two other officers, Elliott and his fam
lily undoubtedly would have been
killed

Vera Cruz, April 29.-Commander
Iweedie of the British cruiser Essex,
Who went to Mexico City several days
ago to intercede for foreigners held
=, the hospital, returned here late yes
cerday and reported that his mission
had been successful. President HUI
erta, Minister of War Banquet and
Foreign Minister Rojas assured Twee-
die they would release all American
prisoners and that all Americans de-
string to do so, might leave Vera Pu-
erto, Mexico, but that the trains on
which, they would go, would not be
provided with escorts.
The train on which Commander
Tweedie came back to Vera Cruz
picked up leo American refugees from
various interior points, who were as
sembled at Soledad.
These refugees. who came from IT,
ezra Blanca, Cordoba and Orizaba.
presented pitiable spectacle and were
worn, dirty and tired from their fright
ful experiences. Women with babes
IN their arms and young girls carry
ing heavy bundles containing all that

YEARLY trudged with the other refu-
gees from the station here in charge
of agents from the American consul
ate. Many of the refugees are desti-
tute and they were lodged aboard the
rescue steamers last night.
Huerta Obstinate
Commander Tweedie did not find il
easy TO convince General Huerta re-
garding the release of Americans and
Sir Lionel Garden, the British min
isIer. was called into the conference
Garden also visited Foreign Minister
PortiIlo Rojas and il was easily no
tlceabie when he left the foreign Of
Zee that he. was annoyed.
General Huerta declared there was
no reason for placing an escort GA tho
refugee trains and anyway he did not
care TO assume responsibility Of the
safety Of passengers.

Fear for Safety
OF Fishermen

Southwest Harbor. Me-. April b.
Fears are entertained for Leander r.
Bunker and Wyman Teel, two Gram
berry Isle fishermen. who went fishing
90 Petit Menan on Monday. April 90.
Nothing has been seen or heard OF them
since. and It is feared that they are
drowned. Relatives have commenced
searching in an endeavor to clear up the
mystery regarding their fate. 1t is
thought barely possible they may be on
board some fishing schooner which has
not yet reported. but this hope is faint
one
