certain that with occupation of this
seaport by hostile troops would come
the pillage and looting that generally
marks capture or taking of city or
town by Mexican soldiers. They have
become used to this procedure during
the four or five years Of revolutions
and uprising. They were vastly amaz-

troops not only did not follow up their
occupation with disorders, but actual

There wasn't any massacre. There
was no assault on the public schools.

the foul charges made against them
as men and women because of the
manner in which they chose to wor-
