Less than half hour was required
for the summary action of the House.
The resolution was laid before it at
1915 o'clock. Fifteen minutes later, it
was vociferously roared into law.
The Senate talked and disputed and
quibbIed over the words in the reso-
luton. The House acted at once.
There was practically no debate
Chairman Flood. Of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee, called up the reso-
luton as amended by the Senate
Flood Urges Speed.
"In this. momentous hour and in the
circumstances confronting this coun-
try" he said, prompt action justify
ing and approving the course of the
President is of the utmost importnce.
II would be childish to bubble over
the words of the resolution when the
substance is the same. This is the
view of the President. I fear an at
tempt has been made by gentlemen
on the other side to make partisan
capital of the Presidents unfortunate
situation between this country and
Mexico. I hope the gentlemen have
exhausted their misguided efforts in
that direction and that this House
will give its approval to the chief
executive of this nation without a
single dissent.
I'm the bitterness Of the debate. the
President has been assailed and his
motives impugned. but when the air
clears those criticisms will be re-
membered only to the detriment OF
those who made them; and the Presi-
dent'spatriotic action in this matter
dents patriotic action in this matter
and glory OF his country.
"1he President has now come TO the
Congress in a crisis that affects th'
welfare Of our people, the honor of the
lag and OF our uniform and the glory ol
our country, and asks the united support
IF the legislative branch OF the govern
ment. Let him have it so that tn
world may know that the American

impossible to make a definite estimate
of the umb,r killed.
Much OF the firing on the American
forces came from civilians as well as
the regular troops. The residence section
of Vera Cruz was quiet last night, how
ever Lights were out and doors barred
and few ventured upon the streets.
The heaviest firing upon the marines
and blueiackcts, who were commanded
by Captain Rush from the battleship
Florida and Lieutenant Colonel Neville
of the marines, came from the naval
cadets in their school building near the
water front.
When the cadets opened FIRE the
Prairie shelled their positions.
The old fort and building occupied by
the cadets was badly damaged, but IL is
not known whether there were any cas-
ualties at that point.
Marines Sweep Roofs With Rifle Fire.
Desultory firing was kept up until 6
o'clock last night. The marines and
blueiackets swept the streets and the
roofs of buildings with rifle fire and
drove back the Mexicans. who replied in
tormttently.
Admiral Fletcher transmitted through
Consul Canada his warning that the
town would be bombarded today IT fur
ther resistance was shown. Fletcher
gave Just two hours notice of his inten-
tion of landing forces yesterday. In
fact. only the consuls and the city Off
cials knew Of the impending attack
The inhabitants were ignorant of the
meaning of the activity of the American
ships observed in the harbor and fiocked

feet commander that a landing was
