LONDON, April 25.--Mr. Barzini. the
correspondent In Mexico city Of the Daily
Telegraph, sends the following cable un-
der date OF Thursday:
Two American warships left the
squadron In the roadstead at midday and
began landing marines and bluejackets at
Salina Cruz. Orders were sent yesterday
to the garrison there to make no resistance
90 as to prevent useless bloodshed. Ac-
cordingly tho Mexican troops, consisting
Of about 100. and the population evacuated
the town Before leaving they blew up
the mechanism which opens the swing
bridge which admits vessels to the port
Thus two American merchant ships which
arrived In the morning we're left help
less In port.
"a fleet Of thirteen American ships
was sighted yesterday or Tampico. They
entered the bay where three others were
already anchored. but while it was be-
lieved that landing was imminent the
fleet took up another anchorage at the bar
Of the river. The reason for this can prob
ably DO found in the decision of Gen. Ia
ragosa to burn the petroleum wells in the
event Of the American troops landing
there Three years ago well at Tampico
caught fire and tho burning oil filled
the bay.
"Mueran Las Gringos"
Japanese residents OF Mexico city are
making q great demonstration with flags
and lanterns. At the Foreign Office the
Japanese cheered Minister Portilla Ro-
Jas, who. addressing them from the bal
cony, spoke Of the close union between
Mexico and Japan. The demonstrators,
to the number Of about 1000. shouted
'Mueran los gringos, death to Ameri-
cans) .Muera la bestia ruba.' death
to the blond beasts) The demonstra-
lions continue and the Alameda Ia black
with people.
Mr.. Barsini cabled the following des-
patch earlier on Thursday;
''The miricale Is complete. The Next
can revolution has ceased and the nation
Is blended In q unity which seems for
midable. I spoke to some rebel chiers
who had come to take orders from the
Huerta Government and they clearly
showed that they were kindled by furious
patriotic enthusiasm A three year frat
ricidai war has been forgotten In a day.
Zapata's Indian bands are already con-
centrated In the State Of Puebla. The
revoiutionaries Of Guerrero and Jalisco
are under tho orders of the Minister of
War.
"A telegram from Gonzales announces
that Gen. villa has Joined Gen. Nelasco
at the head of $4,000 men who are march
ing to the frontier. Official confirmation
of this Is wanting because communication
with Torreon is still Interrupted, bu, the
latest dispatches from Saitillo indicat. the
reality Of the agreement The Carrar-
zistas who were fighting in Tamauiipas
are defending Tampico.
"BrownsviIle Captured"

crossed the frontier under the command
Of Lucio Bianco and have occupied
Brownsville.
"Nogales Is attacked by the former
revoiutionaries OF Sonora. Counting upon
the paralysis owing to the revolution the
Americans had denuded the frontier in
order to concentrate their forces at Vera
Cruz. leaving only 1000 troops to face
any attack from the few frontier towns
which remained In the hands Of the
Federals. They did not anticipate the
sudden uniication OF the Mexican people
Instead OF falling 10 pieces Mexico Is
welded together and confronts the enemy
like q compact mass. The Indian multi
tude who seemed brutal and ignorant and
whom the revolution was driving into
wild anarchy are now Offering themselves
as volunteers In orderly array. They are
coming out Of their quarters in the town
singing the national hymn and crying
Long live our mother, Mexico!"
MIR. Barzni sends long, emotional ac-
count of the demonstrations In Mexico

Mr.. Barzini continues:
"The concentration of the Mexican
