.MUN|T|ONSOF WAR
SEIZED BY FLETCHER
Consignment for Huerta Brought
to Vera Cruz by German
Liner All Confiscated.

United States forces at Vera Cruz have
obtained possession of all the ammuni-
ton and machine guns which were on
board the German steamer 4plranSa
and consigned to General Huerta-
This fact was communicated TO the
Government here in an official dispatch
from Rear Admiral Fletcher. The cargo
consisted of 100000 rounds Of amnluni-
ton and 80 machine guns. 1t was to
prevent the delivery of this ammunition
and these guns to Huerta that Fletcher
began the attack on Vera Cruz. The
consignment was seized shortly after
the Americans obtained possession Of
the custom house.
President Wilson was at his desk in
the executive offices al 9:45 Z. IN. His
manper has undergone complete
change. He is grave and apparently
much saddened by the news of the death
OF the four American marines who fell
in the attack on the town.
Secretary Bryan reached the Whte
House about 10 o'clock carrying with
him an envelope of dispatches. He too
showed the effect of a night OF sleepless
waiting. He declared he had no con-
firmation of the report that Charge
O'Shaughnessy. the United States rep
resentative in Mexico City, had been
given his passports by General Huerta-
No instructions, he said, had gone
to O'Shaughnessy to obtain them. Sem
or Algara. the Mexican charge in Wash
ington, has made no move to seek his
Passports.
The State Department is still without
definite information as to the state Of
the American residents at Mexico City
and Vera Cruz.

HONOR
VICTIMS OF BAT TILE

An unusual and touching scene was
presented in the House this after
noon when legislators, who had just
VI ted to use armed forces in Mexico.
stopped to pay tribute to the four
privates who died at Vera Cruz last
night.
During the speech of Congressman
Hobson. the hero of the Merrimac
tears came to the eyes Of several
members, and Speaker Clark was
seen to apply a handkerchief to wet
eyelids. Mr.. Hobson's tribute was "to
the plain privates." such as the four
young men who were killed yester-
day.
Congressman Moore Of Pennsylvania
began the patriotic oratory by praising
the bravery of George Poinsett, Of
Philadelphia. one OF the marines
This young man. said Mr.. Moore,
had not yet reached the age of ma
turity. Three years ago his father
yielded to his pleas that he be per-
mitted to enlist. Today the father has
lost a son, but the nation has added an
other name to its roll of heroes. And
this applies to the three others who
went to death in defense of flag and
country while the congress OF the
United States deliberated upon Presi-
dents message"
Mr.. Moore here quoted the familiar
lines of The Charge Of the Light
Brigade"
Congressman Hobson, in a dramatic
five-minute speech. told of an incident
at Santiago. where he asked for a dozen
volunteers and 1000 young men re-
sponded.
Our greatest difficulty was" he said,
TO turn down the appeals OF those who
sought to go on a perilous mission.
w have taken a great responsible
ity upon us here. but / want to tell you
that the confidence you have placed in
the plain private who represents the
average American citizen and who is
at the front when the drum beats and
the flag unfurls, is not a misplaced con-
fidencc. And the officers who command
them. too. will do their duty" contin-
ued Hobson.
Mr.. HohsOn said that he had seen
service Of eighteen wears with the
plain priyates. and that he had never
known them to shirk d duty when DUTY
called.
And you must remember" he said.
that the plain privates are nothing
but boys. The average age OF the men
off the Mexican coast is twenty-one
years"
