Of Mexico will be the first action to be
taken by the United States navy in
carrying out the presidents order
to force General Huerta to respect
the American flag.
1t was learned that all the vessels
of the Pacific coast will be sent to
the west coast of Mexico at once.
There are only few gunboats avail
able for immediate action in the Pa
clfic coast fleet in addition to those
now in Mexican waters, but they will
share in the naval demonstration.
1t is probable that within the
American navy, excepting the Asiat-
ic fleet, will be lying off Mexico
ready to commence an active block

Secretary of the Navy Daniels
said that within six minutes after
the issuance of the order sending
the entire Atlantic fleet to Tampico
