Washington. - Marines and blue
jackets of the American navy Tues
day took the custom house ard a large
section of Vera Cruz with 81 loss OF
four killed and twenty wounded.
The loss of the Mexican garrison is
estimated at two hundred killed. This
was the first step in the program OF
reprisal by the United States against
the Huerta government for the arrest
of American bluejackets at Tampicc
and other offenses against the rights
and dignity of the United States II
was the first clash between forces OF
the United States and Mexico since
the revolution broke out in the south
ern republic in 1910. and gave the
Washington government a Mexican
problem.
Reparation for All Offenses.
The American forces had orders to
fire only TO defend themselves. The
United States intends to take no of
fensive steps for the present. The sa-
lutte to the flag, which Huerta refused
will not be satisfactory reparation.
II is understood a declaration of apol-
ogy as well as a salute and a guar
antee that the rights and dignity of
the United States will be respected
alone can cause a withdrawal of the
American forces.
While American marines and blue
jackets were fighting, the senate de
bated the whole Mexican situation be
fore crowded galleries. The joint res
olution that passed the house sup
porting the presidents proposal to use
the army and navy to obtain repara-
ton was being debated in the senate.
Many republican senators wanted the
resolution broadened to authorize
steps to obtain reparation for all of
lenses committed against Americans
in Mexico.
The administration senators fought
this as tantamOunt to a declaration of
war, saying the United States had no
quarrel with the Mexican people, but
with the Huerta government control
ling small portion of it. The presi-
dent went ahead on the authority of
the executive in accord with prece-
dent, because ne believed an emer-
gency existed. He gave Rear Admiral
Fletcher authority to seize the Vera
Cruz custom house to prevent the
landing there Tuesday by a German
merchant vessel of big consignment
of arms and ammunition for the Huer-
ia government. Secretary Bryan con-
ferred with the German ambassador,
Count Bernstorff, and it is believed
the influence of the German govern
ment will be interposed to prevent the
consignment from landing elsewhere
in Mexico and complicating the situa-
ton. The ship carries fifteen million
rounds of ammunition, 200 rapid-fire
guns and 1000 rifles.
