WASHINGTON, l.ov. 23.-Omc1al
advices regarding the Mexican situa-
ton just prior to the withdrawal Of
the American forces from Vera Cruz,
continued confusing today. Reports
from state department agents indicat-
ed that fighting was in progress at
several points and that Villa was still
miles away from Mexico City. The
capital was In control of General Luico
Blanco and official reports declared
the city tranquil. No matter what de-
velops, however, 1t is insisted here
American troops will evacuate Vera
Cruz today. The details are in the
hands of General Funston. Whether
he will be able to get all OF his men
out OF the city today is not known
here, At the war department, 1t was
carefully explained that no orders
whatever have been issued to the
general regarding details Of evacua-
ton He has been told to get out, has
the transports and the war secretary
has sufficient confidence in him not to
hamper him with instructions. Just
who the city is to be turned over to,
is for Funston to say. But the more
than one million dollars (some reports
place the figures at two million) In
revenues collected, II 10 realized,
would be temptation to Mexican
forces at present and the cash will be!
brought to the United States and
held here until a stable government
has been established and there is al
president in Mexico City to receipt
properly for the cash. At the same
time an assurance will be required
that these duties will not be collected
a second time.
General Funston cabled the war de-
partment today that all his troops
would be aboard transports ready to
sail from Vera Cruz at noon. for Gal
weston. ...
Marines numbering about two thou
sand will be taken aboard separate
transports for Philadelphia where
they will be rendered a reception up
on their arrival at League Island
No decision as to the distribution
of the troops after they return to the
United States has yet been reached,
Secretary Of War Garrison said. They
will be quartered temporarily at
Texas City, and the length of their
stay there will be determined largely
by events on the Mexican side Of the
border. Garrison said General Fun
ston cabled also that he was bringing
with him about 100000 in customs
receipts collected during the Ameri-
can occupation at Vera Cruz. This will
be placed on deposit in some bank in
the United States until the United
States recognizes a new government
in Mexico. The return of General
Funston will cause a shift of depart
mental commanders in the army. Sec

Funston's one-time "expeditionary
force" Is ready to sail for the United

ordinary emergency, all the trans
ports will be loaded and ready to sail
for home by tonight. The embarka-

Up to early today no representative
Of any of the Mexican factions had
appeared in answer to Brigadier Cen
Grad Funston's published invitation
to take formal charge of the city up

There will be no delay in the depart

account however. General Funston
will simply leave the city to whatever
faction may happen to be on hand TO
control 1t.

reprisals by any one of the various

Marines on Board.
VERA CRUZ, Nov. 23.-There were
eight big army transports and five
ships of war swinging at anchor off
Vera Cruz and Tamptco today. On
board the latter are several thousand
marines and blue Jackets. The ves-
sells will remain in Mexican waters
indefinitely with their compliments OF

General Obregon, is at Orizaba, be-

is confidently believed here that the
