Washington. April 22-The war is

washington, April 22.-The war is
on.
Acting under orders from the secre-
tary of the navy to block the port OF
Vera Cruz and seize the customs
house, Admiral Fletcher, in charge of
the American forces, landed marines
from the Utah, Florida and Prairie
and proceeded to take the customs
house.
A sharp engagement between the
American and Mexican forces fol-
lowed Four American marines were
killed and 20 were wounded. Two hun
dred Mexicans were killed.
According to the report from Ad-
miral Fletcher, the Mexican troops did
not oppose the landing of the marines,
but opened fire after the Americans
had taken possession of the customs
house. The Mexicans employed artll-
Iery and made desperate EFFORT to
drive the Americans out.
U. S. S. Prairie Shells Mexicans.
Admiral Fletcher at once ordered
the Prairie to bring her big guns into
play. and from her place in the harbor
she proceeded to shell the Mexicans
cut of their position.
The Prairie was assigned to she'll the
city for the reason that she is of
lighter draft than either of the big bat
tleships and by approaching nearer to
the water front could place her shells
with greater precision.

the most furious storms encountered
anywhere in the world. These storms
develop such violence that the customs
house and other buildings on or near
the water front are whipped with
spray, although the breakwater which
protects the city is one of the best of
its kind anywhere.
Admiral Fletcher reported that he
was holding the customs house and the
section of the city in which the Ameri
can consulate is located. The customs
house and the consulate are within a
few blocks of each other.

to more practical things. The plan of

simplicity itself. There is more porch
than house. And while there are only
three rooms, we shall see how Foomy
the structure can be made. The porch
extends all around the house, with
steps on each of the four sides. This
porch is 5 feet 8 inches wide. At a
very small expense, the open spaces
between the pillars Of the porch can
be screened in, and screen doors pro-

partitions of tapestry can thus divide
the entire porch into outdoor bed
