of fresh water Admiral Fletcher yes
terday directed that his order be car
ried out and the Carlos V moved out
side just before the attack on the
center of the city began.
When Admiral Fletcher directed
that battalions of bluejacketS and ma
rines -'be landed from Rear Admiral
Badgers ships before dawn and drawn
up in the Plaza by the railroad sta
ton and then proceed to take the en-
tire town, he acted only after warn
ing and after fifteen shells from the
Prairie's three-inch guns had been
thrown into the steel frame work of
the new market which faces Market
Place. A persistent but scattered fire
came from rifles in the market during
all the early hours Of the morning and
Admiral Badgers men landed to the
whining accompaniment of rifle bull
let's over their heads.
When the rush started, Admiral
Badgers bluejackets, clad in orange
colored clothing made for them on the
trip down by dyeing white uniforms
with iron rust, moved in close column
formation up the water front, past the
market and across the front of the
naval college, long three story
structure built of abode stone. The
column moved steadily forward until
the first company had passed by the
college and the remainder were COW
ering the whole front close against
the wall.
SPATTER OF RIFLE FIRE.
Suddenly a spatter OF rifle firing
broke out along the roof The jackies
stood their ground. Some huddled
close to the wall to avoid the rain of
steel ia cketed bullets from above
while some dashed across the small
open space in front of the building.
These bluejackets dropped on their
stomachs and in that position kept up
a fire on the foe above them. Final
ly the American officers hustled the
men in shelter of nearby buildings
without however losing any ground.
Meanwhile the Prairie sent shell after
shell from her three-inch battery into
the windows Of the college, columns
of red dust leaping upward as each
shot went home The Chester also

MAY BRING CHANGE.
A complete change in the plan of
military campaign in Mexico may be
necessitated by the menacing attitude
of the Constitutionalists and that
subject now is under discussion by the
joint board of the army and navy and
the secretaries of the two military
departments. Predicated upon the be-
lief that the Constitutionalists would
observe an attitude of strict neutral
ity during the settlement of the is
sue between the United States and
General Huerta, no arrangements
have been made in regard to the dis
position of American military forces
on the border, beyond those necessary
to meet possible small local distur-
Dances.
Later reports, however from Con-
sular Agent Carothers indicate grow
ing turbulence and the development of
American feeling in the north of
Mexico and particularly in the neigh
borhood of Chihuahua, where many
Americans have elected to remain in
charge of their own business interests
and in disregard of warnings from the
American consular offices. relying
upon the supposed good will of the
Constitutionalists.
A danger spot has developed rapid
ly at Fort Bliss, where, owing to the
diversion of a large proportion of the
American garrison to other border
points, the 5000 Mexican internes,
composed of the Federal soldiers and
their wives who fled from Ojinaga
some months ago are within a barbed
wire enclosure, insufficiently guarded.
The status Of these internes is likely
to change very soon to that Of prison
ers of war, and it is the intention Of
the war department to take them to
a point sufficiently distant from the
border to insure their safe keeping, as
soon as the necessary funds are forth
coming.
Plans of campaign are being ar
ranged on the line Of the immediate
establishment OF a sufficient protec-
ton along the entire northern border
of Mexico for the American inhabi-

the college.
Far to the right in the harbor the
mine ship San Francisco opened with
her 5-inch guns and taking the win
dows in the front of the college for
targets shot them out one by one with
precision.
After fifteen minutes OF firing the
Prairie and the San Francisco ceased
and the column of ia ckies formed
again and pushed sturdily ahead, de-
plOying around the front of the col
lege. A few shots were directed at
them, but none came from the COL

President Wilson issued the follow

II wish to reiterate with the greatest

states. Following that will develop
the details of the original plan for
campaign against Mexico by land via
the railroad lines from FL Paso south
through Chihuahua which has been SO
often traversed by the contending
Mexican factions within the last three
years.
This is dependent upon a decision
by the administration that a state OF
actual war exists. which is supposed
to be forecasted by the re-establish-
ment Of the embargo on the exporta-
ton of arms across the line into Mex
leo.

DR.. S. r. Mallory Kennedy, member
of the Florida board of health, left

will attend a health conference of the
southern states called by the presi

The principal topic to be discussed
during the three day session is the
mortality rate among negroes and 70

when added to the death rate among
the whites, makes the mortality rate
in the south excessively high.

WHAT BLOCKADE WILL DO.

The principal Mexican ports
which probably will be sealed up
by the American blockade are the
following:
East Coast-Vera Cruz, Tampico,
Tuxpam, Alvarado, CampecAe, Pro-
gresso, Puerto Mexico.
West Coast-Acapulco, Guaymas,
Macmillan, Manzanillo, Alta, Rosa
liza, San Bias, Topolobampo. Salina
Cruz, Pochulta.
The effect of the blockade may
be to put an end TO Mexico's trade
with foreign nations. This trade
during the fiscal year 1909-'1O, just
before the Madero revolt, amounted
to $22S, 900, 0e9. The value OF the
exports was $13o,000,000 and OF the
imports $4,000 900.

Wilson's views, The effect of the
bill, if passed by the Senate, and it
becomes the law will be to make all
ships pay toll to get through the
canal. The struggle in Congress this
far shows that it was not a party
question, as all the parties divided on
it. About l8 per cent of the Demo- r
Gratis voted no, little more than q
per cent Of the Republicans voted
yes. AS to leadership Underwood,
with the help of Speaker Clark, were
followed by only Is per cent of his
