VERA Cruz Will BE POINT
ATTACKED BY VARSK|PS
SHIPS NOTIFIED TO LEAVE The HARR0RS
Admiral Badger Instructed to Defect Three Bateships
to Vera Cruz Instead of Sending Them to Tam
pico-President Elk pected to Issue Call
for 100000 Volunteers

Washington, April 2O.-The first
sign of active operations against Mex
leo today was an order rushed to
Admiral Fletcher and Admiral Mayo
that America commercial vessels
should vacate the harbors of Tampico
and Vera Cruz.
The next step, if bombardment
should be ordered, will be the notifica-
ton Of the Americans and all foreign
ers at Vera Cruz to leave the city
within twenty-four hours.
That the main point Of attack
against Huerta will be Vera Cruz, is
indicated by the significant order
flashed today to Admiral Badger to
defect three of his battelships to Vera
Cruz instead of sending them to Tam
pico.
White House Uneasy.
Uneasiness is manifested at the
white, at the state department and the
war department today, owing to lack
of intelligence direct from Mexico
City.
A banking house in New York got
through from Mexico City the news
that all was apparently quiet and that
Huerta had counseled the people not
to get excited and to await develop
ments. This was reported to the war
department.
w. The aeriiest action today was
the meeting of the join army and
navy boards. At this meeting, it was
ascertained that of the 10000 of the
American National guard, 10000 could
be counted on for enrolment as VOL
unte3rs.
Fighting Men Embarrassed.
Officials at the meeting frankly said
they were embarrassed by the fact
that there has been no indication yet
on the part Of the president that he
would issue the usual proclamation
calling for volunteers.
1t has been recommended to him
that the call should be for 250,000
men.
After the meeting of the joint army
and navy board, Secretary Daniels an
nounced that all the preparations pos
sible by the navy had already been
made He said that the third division
OF the Atlantic fleet had already been
ordered to report to Admiral Badger
on April %.
Secretary of War Garrison held that
he could give no specific orders until
all questions of procedure had been
cleared by the terms of the resolution
which congress was expected to pass.
Ready to Recruit Volunteers.
Acknowledgement George S. An
drews announced that the recruiting
officers of the United States were
ready at the various stations to be-
gin work on recruiting as soon as the

! mouse, the state, war and navy depart
mentS and congress were apparently
| moving along smoothly this afternoon
when the news came from The capital
that there was an impasse between
the legislative branch and the presi-
dent over the exact charge of what the
president expected to do. The intima-
tio2 was conveyed to the army and
navy officers that congress wanted to
clear up the proprety OF practically
declaring war against one man. and
to determine whether the war was to
be against the country represented by
that man.
Ministers Notified.
The action of the president and his
position as outlined in his message to
congress today was telegraphed last
night to the ministers an dambassa-
doris of the United States everywhere.
At the state and navy departments
it was stated that foreign nations
have undoubtedly notified their mer-
chantmen and citizens in Vera Cruz
and Tampico to be guided by the or
ders issued by the United States gov
eminent.
Right to lombard Vera Cruz.
There is no question but that the
United States has the initial right to
lombard the city of Vera Cruz. If
there shoufd"' Il ACCOMPLISHMENTS. roti-.
fication must be made to the citizens
of all nations.
If this becomes necessary to bonn
bard Vera Cruz this action will be
followed Immediately by the landing
of marines in force and the beginning
of their march to Mexico City.
COnstitutionaliSts a Problem.
After the reading of the presidents
message, Secretary Bryan, Secretary
Daniels and Secretary Garrison united
in declaring that they had no intima-
ton from Villa or Carrapza as to their
attitude toward the United States at
the present time.
The constitutionalists appear to be
in strategic control of the whole Of
northern Mexico, and would have to
be reckOned with if Secretary Of War
Garrison should order troops across
the Rio Grande.
