Washington administration Is being de-
bated with much interest
Americans and Mexicans alik" lack
anything in the nature Of a definite
statement this subject. and they are
all trying to interpret, from the trend
of events since the seizure. whether the
American occupation Of Vera Cruz is to
be permanent or not. If once convinced
that the American flag is to float over
this city until tranquility is restored
throughout the republic, it is virtually
certain that the Mexicans Of Vera Cruz
will give their heartiest support to the
American civil government.
Today they admit frankl. that they
are enjoying greater freedom from ap-
prehension. more personal liberty and a
larger measure of prosperity owing TO
the influx of American money than they
have known in many Years. Many even
assert that they would cheerfully sub
scribe to any policy of the United States
which would insure them a continuation
of the present conditions and the extern
sion of these conditions to the rest OF
the republic.
