discovered. Frequently, when the
Americans discovered a roof from
which shots were being fired, they
would storm the house and search it.
Either they would find the place ut
terly deserted or they would find the
householder on the ground floor and
not gun in sight. The discovery
of the tunnels today shed great dea.
of light on the escape of the snipers
and the failure of the Americans to
get them with the goods" 1t is now
obvious that once the MeXicans knew
their places of concealment were dis
covered, they scuttled away over the
roof and through the subterranean
passages and were in some totally diff
ferent house when the Americans fin
ally caught them.
Notwithstanding the stirring and
martial events attending the Ameri-
can occupation of Vera Cruz, the edu-
SSIiou VI liIS mexican CHllutGU mere
is not to be neglected. The public
schools of the port were opened for
work on Monday, May 4, after being
closed for little more than a week
On Tuesday, April q, when Admiral
Fletcher landed marines and bluejack-
cts from the Utah and the Florida.
the Mexican superintendent of instruc-
ton ordered the schools to be closed
down indefinitely. Following the ces-
sation of hostilities, the school chill
dren of the town ran riot about the
streets, most of them becoming news
boys, selling the native papers, El
Dictamen, La Opinion and the English
newspaper, the Mexican Herald.
Enterprising Mexican school teach
crs awoke to their opportunity and
reaped a rich harvest by taking pri-
vate pupils at one peso a week each.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-05-25

When the situation was called to the
attention of Civil Governor Kerr, the
governor forthwith issued an order
commanding all public school teachers
to report for duty on Monday morn
ing and proclamation was ordered,
notifying the Mexican people that
their children could be returned to-
school. The Mexican public schools
never close, but run all the year
round. There is no summer vacation
as in the United States, but from
time to time the pupils drop out and
take their rest from the school work,
books and slate.
The refugee problem is the biggest
with which the American Comman.
ders, Rear Admiral Badger and Brig
adler General Funston, now have to
1eal. 1t is like pulling eye-teeth to
oct some of the Americans of Mexico
City and Tampico to go to the Unit
ed States. When the transport Han
;ock arrived today from Puerto Mex
leo with 493 refugees from Mexico
City, most of them Americans, it was
necessary to isolate them on the Han
cock in order to keep them from re-
turning to Mexico. The transport case
anchor at sunrise in the outer har-
bor, not far from the flagship Ar
kansas, and remained there until the
refugees could be transshipped to the
S. S. Monterey of the Ward line,
which ran outside last night for that
purpose. Rear Admiral Fletcher, on
the arrival of the Hancock, issued or
ders that nobody should be allowed to
board her except on special permit
from Consul Canada. On shore there
were scores of Americans all clam
oring to see the refugees on the Han
cock. Some of them were relatives
of the people aboard. Business men
who came to Vera Cruz last week
were frantic to know if their wives
and children were safe. Vera Cruz
Americans wanted to know if their
friends were aboard. But Fletcher
was abdurate. He explained that il
was impossible to allow all applicants
to board the Hancock, and it was
equally inexpedient to allow the refu
gees to land, else they would disap
pear and refuse to leave the coun
try.
That has been the way ever since
the Americans took possession of Vera
Cruz. Refugees from Mexico and in
termediate points who came in by rail
as we'll as those brought from Muer
to, Progresso and Tampico by shin.
we're anxious enough to escape this
far, but when they reached Vera Cruz
and found things tranquil and pros
porous they did not want to go to the
United States. Rear Admiral BADGER
appointed Lieutenant Marouardt Of the
Arkansas to take charge of refugees
and see them properly disposed of.

FIND TUNNELS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Vera Cruz, Mexico, May l (By mail

Vera Cruz is a veritable honeycomh
has Just been discovered by the Amer
ican forces occupying the port. Sub
terranean passages have been discov-
cred connecting nearly all the build
inGs within several squares of the
Plaza. The bluejackets under Admiral
Fletcher discovered on the first day
that the roofs of all the houses in
block were so connected that snip
ers might be considerable distance
away from the spot from which shots
were fred by the time the sailor boys
entered the house.
The discovery of the underground
passages supplementing the inter-roof
communications explained why the
men from the ships were unable to
capture the snipers who fired on them
During the two days of actual fight
ing and the several days of desultory
sniping thereafter, the bluejackets and
marines were frequently mystified by
the complete disappearance of the
men they knew fired on them, or else
the sudden appearance of the men
in some other house, unarmed, no
weapons to be found, and smiling il
friendly fashion, meanwhile uttering
whole volleys of amigos
Early in the game it was discov-
cred that there were innumerable pas
ages from roof to roof, by which the
MeXieans could scurry away when
