VERA CRUZ UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Following Insurance of Proclamation
City Under Naval Officers

Vera Cruz. = Vera Cruz Sunday
night was under martial law. Rear Ad-
miral Frank F. Fletcher, command
ing the American naval forces on
shore, issued a proclamation to this
effect and the last opportunity MeSi-
cans had for handling their own af
fairs in Vera Cruz under thoi- -
laws disappeared

termined there should be no more
quibbling with the Mexican officials
regarding form Of government and
until further notice residents of this
port will live and be judged by mill
tary law. The word has gone forth
that disorder and unruliness in any
form shall receive swift and severe
punishment. This proclamation makes
Rear Admiral Fletcher absolute ruler
ashore.
1t is believed the martial law proc.
lamation will open the way for more
of the city and federal employees to
return and cooperate and aid in re.
storing the local government func.
tions Mexicans point out that these
men now will be in a position toyeS-
plain to their friends and the existing
government at the capital that under
martial law they felt obliged to re-
turn to their work
An order that all arms be turned
in by residents by noon Sunday
brought to the headquarters of the
provost marshal bushels of small arms
and stacks of rifles.
Many Mexican officials have report
ed their willingness to resume their
duties Of office under the supervision
of the Americans. The American Of
ticials named to date to assist in the
supervision of the municipal govern
'nent are:
Commander H. O. Stickney, of the
Prairie, captain of the port; Fleet
Surgeon T. w. Spratling, sanitary in
spector; Commander D. F. Sellers OF
the Arkansas, provost marshal; Com.

REPORTED HUERTA
WANTS MEDIATION
SPANISH AMBASSADOR SAYS HE
HAS PRIVATE ADvlcEs FROM
MEXICO CITY.
REPORTS ARE NOT OFFICIAL
President Yet Hopes For Peace But
is Not Confident That Same is
Possible.

Washington.-Spanish Ambassador
Riano announced late Sunday night
that he had received private advices
from Mexico City stating that Cen
eral Huerta had accepted the offer
of Argentina, Brazil and Chile to use
their good Offices to bring about
an amicable settlement of the diff.
Guilty between the United States and
Mexico.
This Information though unofficial
was accepted as authentic by the Am
bassador, who expects to be prepared
to place General Huerta's formal ac-
ceptance before the representatives
of the three South American coun-
tries.
The interests of the Huerta Gov
ernment in the United States were
taken over by the Spanish Embassy
when Charge Algara left Washington.
Ambassador Riano received the offer
Of good Offices from the three peace
ENJOYS Saturday night. 1t was cabled
Immediately to Mexico City.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intima-
tion of the nature of which as yet
has been given. 1t generally has been
understood here, however, that the
peace ENJOYS expect to deal directly
with the situation cerated by the Tam
pico incident and other offnses against
the honor and dignity of the United
States.
Administration Officials appeared to
be much gratiied at the prospect at
having proposals of the great South
American Republics listened to by
General Huerta.

TAMPlco RIOT HALTED.
Mob Of Mexicans Storms Hotels oe-
eupied BY Americans.

Galveston, Te1.-The Tampico stu
atom continued so serious according
to a wireless message reaching here
that two torpedo-boats were sent up
the Panuco River at Tampico to get
americans. Refugees arriving here
from Tampico said they were saved
from rioting Me1icans by German
sailors.
The story OF the riot was told by
Americans on the collier Cyclops,
which anchored in quarantine.
About midnight a mob estimated
at 500 began throwing stones at the
Southern Hotel, where there were
twenty or thirty American women
and a little more than three hundred
American men, according to the refu-
gees estimate. Bill Hanson, for
mer United States Deputy Marshal
in South Texas, organized the Ameri-
can men who had few rifles and
pistols, for resistance.
The German sailors then took the
women from the Southern and the
Imperial Hotels aboard boats to ships
in the harbor. The men marched out.

After futile search for them he went to Florida and settled at Lake City. where he has been very successful in business. at the same time taking an interest in politics.

Feagle became acquainted. and it was through him that the latter learned of the presence of his relatives at White Oak, among whom are W. s. Smith. D. D. Stewart and Miss Carrie Stewart. MT. Feagle lis hale and hearty. at 72Years and ex- poets to make visits to his relatives here.

 IRON AND STEEL Situation Abroad Has Pro- found Influence on Ameri-
 can Iron Industry

New York, August 2.-The situation in Europe had profound influnece on the American iron industry last week. Business was limited and the export trade was paralyzed. Financial uncer- tainties called for closer scrutiny of credits.
 Prior to the foreign complications business in steel sheets, tin plate, stan dard pipe products, and fabricated structural shapes was improved some what Total contracts for the week taken by the fabricating shops called for 36,000 tons of Steel shapes.
 Railroad equipment orders included 5000 tons of rails. 2600 cars and a few locomotives The Baltimore and Ohio practically closed contracts for 1S,0OO tons of rails.
 Miscellaneous orders amounted to 12,- 900 tons. During July the rail mills se- cured orders for 237,000 tons.
 Extreme dullness prevailed in the pig iron market during the week, but July sales aggregated between 550,00O and 600 900 tons.

OCAL amateur leagues have been the recipients of much

been the recipients of much - commendable praise of late. The ball that is being delivered is not of the ragged variety but, on the other hand is quite fast for amateur circles. Constant additions are being made to the playing strength of the various teams and now several hundred players are in active competition in the City, Commercial, Miners, Greater Bir- niingham, Jefferson County, Cen tral, Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany. Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and other fast amateur leagues.
 The success attained by them through creditable performances has interested old college stars in the district and now many have allied themselves with teams. Van derbilt, Alabama, Auburn, Se- vance, Howard, Georgetown and Georgia Tech are represented
 
 Rearrangements Of line-ups and shifting of batting orders are talk ing place weekly with the acqui- sition of new material and there is hardly a. team in any one of the leagues that has not been strength ened since the inauguration of the present playing season.
 There was a time not So long ago when anyone who knew even the rudiments of the game could secure for himself comfortable berth and have no fear of being busted
 Business methods are being used to make the leagues stable this season and unlike in the past they are not being run in a haphazard way and left free to drift on the rocks when interest is at a low ebb. In many of them deposits have been eXacted from teams to insure their continuing throughout the season, while contracts have also made their appearance When a newcomer agrees to play with a certain team he signs a regular contract and no other team in the league can secure his services un- less he is released by the team he has signed with. By this way raids by one team on another is kept down and harmony maintained
 In none of the organizations are there any teams that have a cinch on first place and shake-ups come with consistency every week. Only in two leagues are there teams who are occupying the first floor with any degree of safety. Clay is leading the Jefferson County as- sociation with a perfect record, having registered 10 victories in as many trials. Southern Bell also has firm grip on the top rung in the northern division of the City league, being several games in the lead.
 Both divisions of the Miners league are witnessing a tight and aggressive conflict. Three teams Pratt City, Republic and Brookside have been tied for leadership in the western division, while one game in the rear, Mineral Springs is hanging on with tenacity, watching for a chance to slip into the lead. Another warm fight is raging in the Commercial Louis Saks and Louis Pizitz are see-saw ing pack and forth, first one team in the lead and then the other By virtue of a victory over Saks sev- eral days ago, Pizitz is now, in the fore.
 Moore & Handley is topping the western division of the City
