WILSON ORDERS ADMIRAL FLETCHER
TO SEIZE VERA CRUZ CUSTOM HOUSE
AMERICANS NOTIFIED TO
LEAVE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA

they were instructed to leave by
Consul Lctchcr. They said Mcxicans
in chihuahua held the belief that the
rebels would be unable to remain out
of the Observation-Disclosures complica-
tion and added that Rebel leaders
feel compelled to accept the view
that tie blockading OF Tampico and
Vera Cruz would be national mat
ter, etfecting the honor of every
Mexican regardless of political af-
flliations. Consul Letoher, they said,
was endcavoring to get the Ameri-
cans out without attracting undue
attention and his efforts in this di-
rection were being assisted by Gen.
Carranza. Most of the lattcr's con-
ference with General Villa ycster-
day. they. asserted, was devoted to
consideration Of the Tampico Incl
dent and its developments as effect
ing the Rebels. The gravest view
was taken according TO reports. In
the cafes, clubs and other gathering
places Mexican citizens, practically
all of whom are Rebel sympathizers
said openly that President Wilson's
course was an affront to the Mexi-
can nation and that common enemy
must be met by united country.
Meanwhile there was no definite an
nouncement OF policy by Carranza.

DELIVERS REMARKABLE
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

have been attributed to the
ignorance or arrogance OF u,
single officer Unfortunately, 1t
was not an isolated case. A SER
les of incidents have recently oc-
Cured which cannot but create
the impression that the repre-
sentatiyes of General Huerta
were willing to. go out OF their
way to show disregard sfor the
dignity and rights of this gov
ernment and felt perfectly safe
in doing what they pleased,
making free TO show in many
ways their irritation and con-
tempt. A few days after the
incident ut Tampico an orderly
from the U. S. S. Minnesota was
arrested at Vera Cruz while
ashore in uniform to obtain the
ships mail and was for time
thrown into jail. An official
despatch from this government
to its embassy at Mexico City
was withheld by the authori-
ties of the telegraphic service
until peremptorily demanded by
our charge d'alaires in per-
son. So far us can understand,
such wrongs and annoyances
have been suffered TO occur on
ly against representatives of the
United States. have heard OF
no complaints from other gov
ernments OF similar treatment.
Subsequent explanations and
formal apologies did not and.
could not alter the popular I'M
preston. which 1t is possible It
had been the object of the HUI
crtista authorities to create
that the government Of the unit-
ed States was being singled out
and might be singled out with
impunity, for Sights and af-
fronts in retaliation for It's re-
fusal to recognize the preten-
sions of General Huerta to be
regarded as the constitutional
president of the republic of Mex
icc..
"The manifest danger OF such
situation was that such Of
'fcnses might grow from bad to
worse until something happened
Of so gross and intolerable a
sort as to lead directly and in
evitably to armed conflict. 1t
was necessary that the apologies

4 ! WASHINGTON, April ?1.-
President Wilson laid,thc Mexi-
can situation before congress
yesterday in these words:
Gentlemen of the congress:
1t is my duty to call your at
ttention TO a situation which has
arisen in our dealings with Cen
eral victoriano Huerta at Mex
tco City which calls for action.
and to ask your advice and CO.
operation in acting upon IT. On
The n:s Il Of April a paymaster
of the U. S. S. Dolphin landed at
the Iturbide bridge landing at
rampico With whaleboat and
boats crew to take OF certain
supplies needed by. his ship and
while engaged in loading the
boat was arrested by an ofri-
Ger ana squad of men of the
army of General IIuerta. Neith-
er the ,paymaster nor any one
of the boats crew was armed.
Two Of the men were In the
boat when, the arrest took place
and were8obliged to- psNaYesitand~ :
submit to. .bectaken into custody.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the boat carried. both at her
bow and at her stern, the flag
of the United States. The Of
ilcer who. made tho arrest was
proceeding up one CT the streets
of the town with his prisoners
when metEby an officer OF high
or authority, who ordered him
TO return to the landing and
wait orders, and within un hour
and n half from the time OF the
arrest orders were received
from the commander Of the HUI
crta forces at Tampico for
the release of the paymaster and
his men. The release was fol-
lowed by apologies from the
commander and later by an cx-
preston Of regret by General
Iiuerta himself. General HUI
crta urged that martial law OBJ
taincd at the time at Tam
pico; that. orders had been Is
sued that no one should be al
lowed 20 lard at the Iturbidc
bridge: and that cur sailors had
no right to land there. Our
naval commanders at the port
had not been notified of any
such prohibition, AMI, even. IL
Nthcy hid been. the only Sustin.
able course open TO the local un-
tlioritics would have been to re-
quest t;ic raymaster and his
crew TO withdraw and TO lodgr

officer of the fleet. Admiral
Mayo regarded the arrest so
serious an airrOnt that lie was
not satisfied With the apologies
offered but demanded that the
flag of the United States be sa-
lutcd with special ceremony by
the military commander of the
port.
The incident cannot be re-
garded as trivial one, especially
as two of the men arrested were
taken from the boat itself
that is to say, from the terri
tory of the United States; but
had II stood by itself. 1T might
