Police Head Taken.

Chief Of Police Antonio Villavicencio
was taken prisoner by the Americans
shortly after they had occupied the
main plaza Of the city. II was sug-
gested TO him that he continue in his
official capacity TO direct the city's pro-
tective system. He took the matter
under Amusement.
Had the frightened Mayor made up
his mind to accede TO Admiral Fletch-
er's suggestion, which was made
through Consul Canada, the MeXicans
might have been spared the humiliation
OF being forced from their positions.
and undoubtedly a number Of lives
would not have been sacrificed.

Wilson Hopes for Peace.

II is the sincere hope OF the admins
tration that no further fighting Will
occur. President Wilson has been in
formed by some Of his foremost ad-
visers that when the Mexicans in
Mexico City begin TO feel the pressure
Of the Generalization Of business which
viii result from the hectic conditions
brought on by the capture OF Vera
Cruz, Huerta's position will become
perilous through the dissatisfaction
which will prevail amongst his own
people.
II IS definitely know by The Tribune
correspondent that the administration
has this contingency in view and is
hopeful that there will appear no I'M
toward developments nor phases which
will make 1t necessary for further
forward movement.
The latest and greatest ships OF tie
United States Navy. tho super-dread-
nCughts New York and Texas. now at
the Brooklyn navy yard. have been or
dered to prepare for service in Mexican
waters. The announcement came with
orders for the formation OF special

Dor mouth this evening, but no tur-
Their. The commander Of the Prosreso
had mt heard that the Americans were
in possession of the city.
The Progreso was hailed by the nag
ship and boarded by Lieutenant Byron
McCandless, of Admiral Badgers STAN
who Informed the commander that ne
had the choice OF remaining under the
guns and searchlights Of the flagship or
putting out to sea. 1t was explained 10
him that the United States was not at
war with Mexico. but that the presence
Of Mexican gunboats and soldiers at
Vera Cruz was not desirable.

Gansplank Refused

When Lieutenant McCandless reached
the Progreso he asked that gangway
he lowered, but this was refused, anu
he Jumped for the side of the vessel
end clambered aboard. The Interview
between the lieutenant and the Pro-
preso's commander was brief, and end
ed by the Mexican gunboat putting TO
sea.
The Progreso came from the sou'h'
probably from Trontera. The captains
Of the Mexican steamer Tehuantepec
and government flreboat moved their
crafts slowly into the harbor this after
noon. and then discovered that they
were detained"
The Tehuantepec carried detach-
ment Of thirty regulars in charge OF
$50 prisoners, who were destined Tor
service IN the Mexican army. The two
vessels anchored near the deserted
Mexican training ship Zaragoza, which
was in the harbor when the port was
taken.
The Tehuautepec and the freooat
came from Frontera, from which port
they sailed early on Monday. The
former carried twelve American pas
sengers who were taken off in launches
and put aboard the battleships.

Says Carranza Is for Peace.

Not at ALL" Pesqueira replied. 1T
couldn't mean that, because I know
that my chief wants peace"
For time IT was thought that the
translation might be at fault and that
Carranza's Spanish really meant but
to this very day We desire TO avoid"
but careful examination of the original
showed that the translation was cor
rect. 1t was made by Samuel Belden.
Pesqueira and Carothers, In consulta-
ton. They carefully weighed the
meaning of every word and phrase.
Pesqueira said, as giving evidence Of
the peaceful intentions Of the rebel gov
eminent, that Carranza had refused q
number OF offers from Federal garri-
sons to join him if he would take the
field against the United States.
ITO all Of these offers we have re-
turned negative replies" said Pes

Blow Hole. in Academy.

The most spirited action yesterday
Yves the taking Of the naval academy.
Aside from that Eight, there was no
definite organized opposition encoun-
tered by the Americans. 4 hot fire
was poured into the advancing Ameri-
cans from the naval college, which FOR
n time held flem back, but few well
directed shots from the cruisers Ches-
fer. San Francisco and Prairie tore
gaming holes in the stone walls and s.
fenced the rifle fire Of tie Mexicans
inside. The bluejackets then were en-
abled to proceed with the task they
had in hand.
A squad Of soldiers, despite the she'll
ing IL had received. continued TO give
considerable trouble TO the Americans
from the battered Benito Juarez Tower
After they had been silenced and re-
moved from the tower 1t was dis
covered that the soldiers had continued
fighting for lack Of ability TO do any
thing else. The shells from the war
ships Tuesday had torn away the
stairway in the tower and the men had
been compelled TO remain in It.
When the city prison, which faces
the main plaza OF the city. was capt
ured Lieutenant Commander Buchan-
an. Of the Florida. made an inspection
tour through II. There was great sur
prise among the Mexicans who had
gathered there that the prisoners were
not released. They had been &C.
customed to seeing the victor always
release prisoners and then impres:
them all into his army.

Plaza Looked Grewsome.

Plood-bespattered sidewalks, broken
Windows and bullet-scarred walls gave
the plaza q grewsome aspect. "i'''n
the Diligencia Hotel there were forty
Americans. most of them women, VINO
had been there since the commence
ment Of hostilities. When the square
was taken they were Immediately IN
formed that they might go 10 other
places If they so desired. but tnat they
probably would incur no further dan
ger by remaining il the hotel.
None Of the American women were
in any manner mistreated by the Mex
leans during their occupation OF the
building. A few Of the women assisted
the Mexicans in caring for their
wounded.
In the Aghting in the centre Of the
inner harbor, san Juan de Ulloa' an
ancient stone fortress. flew the Mexican
flag throughout the attack. The com
mandant and sixty armed men and 3oo
worknen in the navy yard peered from

500 yards away. and the other ships
shelling the naval academy. In the
dungeons remained 800 prisoners. the
echoes OF the guns on the ships reach
ing them through q sixteen-foot stone
wall.
CAPTAIN Stickney Of the Prairie went
through the fortress several days ago
and found some heavy guns, five tor
pedoes and q torpedo tube In a CORFU
gated iron shed outside the wall OF the
fortress. When the landing OF the
Americans was ordered Captain Stick
ney sent word to the commandant OF
San Juan de Ulloa that he would blow
him to pieces with the Prairie's guns
II he opened fire against the Ameri-
cans. but that otherwise he would not
be disturbed.
The commandment replied that he
would answer with his cannOns If fired
on. but that he would not begin hos
tiities. When the engagement ashore
began the conmandant hoisted a brill
liant new Mexican flag. which few all
