streets leading from the water
front and along the railroad
yards. Others proceeded to the
American consulate, while still
others were deployed along the
approaches to Central Plaza, in
which Gen. Mas had concen-
trated his men.
These maneuvers were effected
without opposition, but suddenly
Gen. Mas challenged the ad-
vance with the first shots-a vol
ley fred from a point three blocks
from the marines and two blocks
south of the main plaza. The ma
rines replied Immediately, but the
action ceased in moment. There
was a lull for ten minutes, and

as a possibility and were deeply concern
