Discipline Enforced

Vera Cruz, April 27.--Vera Cruz is
now under martial law. Rear Admiral
Frank f. Fletcher, commanding the
American naval forces on shore, has
issued a proclamation to this effect
and the last opportunity Mexicans had
for handling their own affairs in Vera
Cruz under their own laws disap-
peared.
Admiral Fletcher and his staff de-
termined that there should be no more
5ouibbling with the Mexican officials
regarding forms Of government, and
until further notice the residents OF
this port will live and be judged by
that disorder and unruliness in any
form shall receive swift and severe
punishment.
This proclamation makes Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher absolute ruler ashore
and 1t is generally agreed that he will
use this power with stoical regard for
all, to the end that order shall be
maintained.
it is expected that the martial law
proclamation will have another effect
that Of opening the way for more of
the city and federal employees to return
to their posts and cooperate in re-
storing the local government func-
tions. Mexicans point out that these
men will now be in a position to ex-
government ait the capital that under
martial law they felt obliged to return
to their work
An order that all arms be turned in

From President Wilson.

from FFSstuent WILSON,
To this, message President Will
son, through Secretary Of State
Bryan, sent the following reply:
THE government of the United
States is deeply sensible to the
friendliness, the good feeling and
the generous concern for the peace
and welfare of America manifest
ed in the joint note just received
from your excellencies, rendering
the good offices of your govern
ments to effect, if possible, set
tlement of the present difficulties
between the government Of the
United States and those who now
claim to represent our sister re-
public in Mexico. Conscious Of
the purpose with which the proffer
is made, this government does not
feel at liberty to. decline it. It's
own chief interest is in the peace
Of America, the cordial inter-
course of it's republics and it's
people. and the happiness and
prosperity which can spring only
out of frank, mutual understand
ing and the friendship which is
created by common purpose.
THE generous offer of your gov
ernment is therefore accepted.
This government hopes most
earnestly that you may find those
who speak for the several ele-
ments of the Mexican people will
ing and ready to discuss terms of
satisfaction and, therefore, per-
manent' settlement. If you should
find them willing, this government
Will be glad to take up with you
for discussion in the frankest and
most conciliatory spirit any pro-
posals that may be authorita-
lively formulated, and will hope
that they may prove feasible and
prophetic of a new day of mutual
cooperation and confidence in
America. '.-
L. This government feels bound in
candor to say that it's diplomatic
relations with Mexico being for
the present severed, it Is not pos-
sible for it to make sure of an un-
interrupted opportunity to carry
out the plan which you propose.
1t is, of course, possible that some
act of aggression on the part Of
those who control the military
forces Of Mexico might oblige the
United States to act to the upset
ting Of the hopes Of immediate
peace, but this does mot justify
us in hesitating to accept your
generous suggestion. We shall
hope for the best result within
a time brief enough to relieve our
anxiety lest ill-considered hostile
demonstration should interrupt
negotiations and disappoint our
hopes of peace"
