at work and seized the customs house
at Vera Cruz TO prevent a large cargo
Of artillery and ammunition from fail

forces, to whom they were consigned
and which were transported from

As there has been no blockade de-
clared, the United States could not

tons were being transported. but 1t
seized the port and prevented them

Rear Admiral Fletcher reported
quickly from Vera Cruz, and de-
scribcd briefly what had occurred.
1t is the belief that the president has
determined that with the taking of
Vera Cruz and the prevention of
shipment of arms to Huerta, further
steps will not be taken by the Ameri-
can Government for the present
Secretary Garrison has made en-
phatic announcement that there has
been no order for troop movements,
The Huerta forces at Mexico City
are placed at from 5000 to 1000 men,
and if it becomes necessary, the
Americans can assemble in Vera
Cruz within AS hours, about $1,000
marines and blue jackets. There is
no feeling of doubt but that the
American forces would be able to
reach the Mexican capital without
great difficulty. The purpose of
diverting Rear Admiral Badger from
Tampico to Vera Cruz is not known,
but leaving Tampico with one Ameri-
can ship, it is the belief that the
constituencies are making ready
to take the port.
Rear Admiral Fletcher has given
warning to Gen. Mas, the Mexican
commander at Vera Cruz, that unless the
firing by his men is stopped, the big
guns Of the American fleet will be
used against him. There are now
about 1000 marines and blue jackets
in the town, and they have not
been allowed to fire only when they
were fired upon, up to this time.
About one-half Of each ships company
engaged the MeXicans at Vera Cruz.
