PL AIMING FOR AMERICAN
EVACUATION OF VERA CRUZ
Hope Grows That Further
Bloodshed Between the
Mexican Factions May BE
Averted Through a Truce.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

/ Washington, Nov 14.-While plans
for the American evacuation Of Vera
Cruz on November 2S were being car
ried forward today, hope grew in Of
ficial circles that further bloodshed be-
tween the Mexican factions might be
avoided ;oy the truce the Carranza and
Villa factions are reported to have en-
tered into until November 20.
Carranza's call to General Gonzales,
the leading general upon whom he de-
pends, to come to Mexico City was re-
garded as evidence that. further influ-
ences were at work to prevent a new
civil war, which military experts say
would be the bloodiest yet of the Mex
lcan conflicts.
Meanwhile, it was indicated that

railroad running to Tampico, was

General Funston's forces and that the

Brigadier General Bliss, in command
on the border, reported the situation
unchanged among the contending
forces near Naco.
Protection for Hollands subjects
and their property in Mexico was
asked today by Minister van Reppard,
who told Secretary Bryan it was urg-
ent that the United States take steps
to look after those interests during the
present situation in Mexico. The near
est of the Dutch war vessels in the
West Indies is at Curacao. A colony
of fifty or sixty Dutch mining engi-
neers and others is at Tampico and
Dutch capital is invested in mines in
that vicinity. 1t was the first request
for American protection for interests

loss of nineteen marines and blue
jackets, win be terminated on Novem-
Der %. Secretary Garrison today
worked out plans for withdrawal Cf
the troops after the president and Sec
retary Bryan determined on the aate
for the evacuation. Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that all the Mexican factions
had given assurances and guarantees

as a surprise in some official quarters
as it generally had been understood
that the evacuation of Vera Cruz would
not be ordered until it had been de-
termined which of the contending
Mexican factions could control Vera
Cruz and assure execution of the guar
antees. To whom the port would be
surrendered was not explained.
The seizure of Vera Cruz was or
dered when it was discovered a steam
er was nearing the port with a huge
cargo of ammunition for Huerta who
had refused to salute the Stars and
Stripes after American sailors had
been arrested In Tampico. At 4 o'clock
on Tuesday morning, April 21, Secre-
tary Bryan received word OF the ap-
proach Of the. ammunition ship. He
telephoned Secretary Tumulty who de-
cIined to awaken the president. A con-

GET TOGETHER, BOYS.

The old Chamber of Commerce will be reorganized Saturday night if enough members attend the meeting. There has been some talk about town that the two commercial organizations would oppose each other, but this is not true. Both the old chamber and the new association have the common purpose: To aid the merchants and business men of this section to gain the material advantages that surround us and only demand that we put for ward a determined effort to possess them.
 The recent pass ge by congress of the Chamberlain railroad bill makes it necessary for us to work in har- mony to present to the federal au- thorities the many advantages Val deg has over any other coast city as the terminus for the trans-Alaskan the professional men, all the citizens of this section should work with one or the other of these organizations for the good of the community. Both start out with a determination to keep the organizations clear of all politics and it is to be hoped that they will ad- here strictly to this determination. Whenever one or the other fails in this respect it will then be time to condemn, but until they do let us all work together for Valdez, which is destined to be the railroad terminus of the government road.
