Usher, recalls some early experiences in

readers on the fact that four reserve

ceived from the British minister, Sir

Previously the hopes of Americans
here who had relatives and friends in
the capital had been buoyed up by "a
statement given out in behalf of Ad-
miral Fletcher that he had informa-
ton which led him to hope for the early
arrival Of more American refugees

ment of all Americans there and pos

formation from Mexico City, it was in
