Fletcher Proclaims
Martial Law For All
Parts of Vera Cruz
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. April 27.-Re-
! fusal of Federal officials in Vera Cruz
to resume their duties under direct
Fcontrol of the American forces re-
sulting in confusion over the city's
administration, was one of the rea-
sons given by Read Admiral Fletcher
! for ordering martial law. The text
| of the proclamation was given out by
the Navy Department as follows:
! "The officials of the Mexican fedora
ton and of the State of Vera ;ruz,
who were in office in Vera Cruz at
the time of the landing of the United
! States forces under my command,
have infromed me of their inability
to continue in the performance of their
functions of their respective offices.
Although the municipal authorities of
the city, with fine consideration for
the interests of their fellow citizens,
have in reply to my request resolved
! to continue in the perfarance of their
, respective duties, there is no provision
in the municipal laws and ordinances
for the performance of many impor-
tant functions of government.
May BE Extended
These facts have created a condi-
tion which requires the adoption of
different measures than those proposed
IN my proclamation of the 22nd in
stant. Therefore, in order to afford to
| the inhabitants of Vera Cruz and of
| the other territories hereafter de-
scribed the privileges of government
exercising all the functions necessary
! Tor the establishment and mainte-
nanme of the fundamental rights of
men, do hereby, under my authority
as commanding officer of the military
| FORCES of the United States of America,
proclaim that martial law exists in the
! city or Vera Cruz and the territory
contagious thereto now occupied by
the FORCES under my command, and
that such law shall be hereafter ex-
tended to such additional territory as
may hereafter be occupied by my
forces
II further proclaim, in accordance
with the laws of nations and the
usages of customs and conventions of
my own and other governments, that
1 am vested with the power and re-
sponsibility of government in all Its
functions and branches throughout
the territory above described. The

NEWPORT MEN FOR

hope and belief, that such an associa-
ton to which all good citizens of New
port and vicinity are eligible, will af-
ford a closer bond of social inter-
course which will bring all men to a
better understanding of each other
and promote the best interests of the
community. With this end in view,
we propose to make the cost of men,
bership within the reach of all men,
keeping in mind, that increased COM
fort and enlarged interests, both So

higher moral standards"
