FINAL GAME GOES
TO TOWNSVILLE
DUCLET'S BUNCH WON GAME
FEATURED BY SOME VERY
GOD PITCHING.

brownsville, April 1S.-PCor pitch
ing by five cut of six hurlers who
worked, featured the game between
Th1mIsville and Brunswick this at
ternooa, which was won by the locals
by a score of 9 to g. Three beavers
were worked in the box by Dudley
while Morse used two, and all that
he had available. Stewart was select
ed to hurl for the visitors, but he
failed to come back, and through his
wildness and ineffectiveness, four runs
were made by Thomasville in the first
inning. Young Manson then relieved
him.
Schulz worked for Thomasville and
made fine progress when he took a
little flight, walking four or five men
and finally forcing in a run. He was
relieved by Tailor, who Jared but lit
tie better, and before the dust had
cleared UP in this inning Brunswick
had sent six men across the home
plate and took the lead by two runs.
Thus the score, ct, remained until
the sixth, when Manson weakened and
allowed one run, pulling out somewhat
Of 4 difficult hole. He was still weak
or in the seventh, but Manager Morse
had no more pitchers in reserve and
the youngster had to continue. A cou-
pie of free passes, a single and a
triple netted the locals four more
runs and the game. Hall, who reliev-
ed Tailor in the fourth, pitched eff
fective ball and kept the visitors from
scoring. The score:

HUERTA REFUSES TO SALUTE.
Provisional President FIatly Refuses
To Accede Demands of the
United States.

Negotiations with Huerta over the
demand for a salute in reparation for
Washington-Gen. Victoriano Huer-
to, Provisional President of Mexico,
fatty refused to accede to the uncon-
ditional demands of the United States
that he salute the American flag.
the arrest of American ~bluejackets
at Tampico' on April 10 has come to
a close, the last chance given by
President Wilson for a favorable re-
spouse from the Mexican dictator.
The final word of Huerta to Charge
O'Shaugnessy' was a refusal to COM
ply, unless the United States would
guarantee in writing that his salute
would be returned.
The crisis thus reached does not
mean that there will be a formal dec
laration of war, because the United
States could not declare wal against
a government which it does not recog-
nize. President Wilson will seek au
thority, however, to send armed forces
into Mexico to seize first the ports of
Tampico and Vera Cruz and the rail-
road trestle leading from Vera Cruz
toward Mexico City.

Washington. - Marines and blue
Jackets of the American navy took
the customs house and a large section
of Vera Cruz with a loss of four killed
and 20 wounded. The loss of the Mex
lean garrison was not officially known
but was estimated at 200 killed. This
was the first step in the program Of
reprisal by the United States against
the Huerta government for the arrest
Of American b~luejackets at Tamplco
and other ~offenses against the rights
and dignity of the United States"
It was the first clash between
forces of the United States and Mex
leo since the revolution broke out in
1910 and gave the Washington gov
eminent a Mexican problem.
Rear Admiral Fletcher had warn
ed the Federal commander that he
would use the big guns Of the Ameri-
can fleet if his men did not stop fir
ing. The American forces had orders
to fire only to defend themselves. The
United States intends to take no Of
fensive steps for the present. The
salute to the flag which Huerta re-
fused will not be satisfactory repara-
ton. 1t is understood a declaration
Of apology as well as a: salute and
guarantee that the rights and dignity
of the United States would be respect
ed can alone cause a withdrawal of
the American forces.
While American marines and blue
Jackets were fighting, the senate de-
bated the whole Mexican situation be-
fore crowded galleries. The joint
resolution that passed the house sup
porting the presidents proposal to use
the army and navy to obtain repara-
ton was being debated in the senate
at midnight with prospect Of an all,
night session. Many Republicans SEN
ators wanted the resolution broaden
ed to authorize steps to. obtain repara-
ton for all offenses committed against
Americans in Mexico.

LAREDO IN RUINS,
FIRED BY FEDERALS
HUERTA SOLDIERS DEVASTATE
MEXICAN CITY WITH DYNA-
. MITE AND FLAMES.
FIRE ON THE U. S. SOLDIERS
American Soldiers Defend lnterna-
tional Bridge Killing Two Mexican
Soldiers.

Laredo, TeXas.-Nuevo Laredo, the
Mexican border town opposite here
is in ruins, devastated by dynamite
and fire set by Mexican Federal sol
diers, who began an orgy or destruc-
ton which did not end until they
were forced to fee southwark before
the guns Of the American border
patrol.
Two Mexicans are known to have
been killed by the United States
troops and several were seen to fall.
Several brisk skirmashes between the
Americans and Mexicans were fought
in quick succession as the Mexicans,
their troop trains ready to pull out
of the burning city, began an indis-
criminate fire across the international
boundary, but there is no evidence
that their shooting had been effective.
Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will reach 100000. Among the build
ings destroyed were the United States
Consulate, municipal buildings, post
Office, theatre, the -four mill, n Of
the largest in this section of the
southwest, the railroad shops of the
Mexican National Railway and other
smaller structures.
The fire burned all night with no
prospect that it would be controlled
until everything infiammable had
been destroyed. Kerosene and other
combustibles literally used added to
the wreckage, which otherwise would
not have been great, owing to the
adobe construction Of most buildings.
There was no property loss in
Laredo. Both international bridges
are safe though efforts to dynamite
them resulted in the death of two
men engaged in the undertaking.
One Mexican was shot by a sharp
shooter from the top of the water
tower. The Mexican was trying to
reach the end Of the International
foot and wagon bridge. Another was
killed when he tried to blow up the
Mexican end Of the International
Railroad bridge. American soldiers
are constantly stationed at the Amer
can end to prevent such an attempt.
At the two bridges across the river
the guards were reinforced and it
was here that the only known loss
of life occurred.
Battery A of the Third Field hrtil-
lery was sent to the power house Of
the Laredo Electric Company, Tearing
an attack there, but it was soon seen
that there was nothing for them to
do. "
Several Mexicans were seen to fall
before the fire from the machine
guns, but they were carried away by
their comrades. The trains were
started and the Federals Withdrew
firing as long as they could. For some
distance the railroad follows the in
ternational line.

MRanley of Mexican Trouble"

Neutrality-suspicious. George Poin-

Cruz was eulogized in the house as
"the Worth Bagley Of the Mexican
trou.-e." Representative Moore Of
Pennsylvania, declared that whether
we have entered upon this val wisely
or unwisely, we have at least demon
strated our wisdom as a nation in be-
ing prepared for war" He added:
"A father who yielded to his boys de-
side to serve has been bereft Of a
son., but the nation has added the
name of that boy to its roll Of heroes"

BRAZIL CALLED FOR CONSUL
South American Consulates Chosen
to Look After American Interests
in Mexico.

Washington.-United States troops
moved to reinforce the American
Navy at Vera Cruz, the embargo on
arms into Mexico was formally re-
stored, and troops were ordered to
the Mexican border primarily to re-
lieve uneasiness among border resi-
dents, but also as a precaution against
hostile military operations along the
international line. Secretary Garri.
son announced that a brigade CT il
fantry and some artillery under Brig
Gen. Frederick Funston had been or.
deTed to embark. on the four Army
transports at Galveston for Vera Cruz
to support the expeditionary forces
of marines and bluejackets there.
The chance that General Mas, the
Federal general, might make a return
attack on Vera Cruz with reinforce
ments and the possible necessity of a
forward movement toward Mexico
City to protect fleeing Americans and
the Vera Cruz Railroad were the un-
DERIVING reasons for the military
movement.
The restoration Of the embargo on
arms was officially announced after
the pronouncement of General Car
rama, the Constituencies chef, that
he regarded the seizure of Vera Cruz
as a violation of Mexican sovereignty,
had been considered by the Admins
tration. While Mexican Constitution
alists here protested that Carranza's
real attitude was friendly, the Ameri-
can Government decided to take no
chances and abruptly stopped the
shipment of all arms into Mexico.
President Wilson earlier in the day
issued a statement warning General
Carranza, the Constitutionalist chief,
that the United States was dealing
now and would continue to deal with
those whom Huerta commands "and
those who come to his support"
Both Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American Charge d'Affairs, and Senior
Algara, the Charge d'Afairs of the
Mexican Embassy, have been given
their passports. This is not regard
ed by the Washington Government as
presaging war, but a declaration OF
wal by Huerta would not be unex
pected. r

Washington.-President Wilson or.
dered Admiral Fletcher to seize the
Vera Cruz customs house and prevent
Huerta from getting several million
rounds of ammunition and two hun
dred field guns. .
The orders went out from Washing.
ton when /. became apparent that
delay- in congress was accruinS to
Huerta's advantage. ,
The orders, officials said, LETT to
the admiral's discretion when and
how 20 at AS there is no blockade
the American forces coul1 not inter.
fere with the German steamer. The
orders were to seize the guns and
shells after they had landed or to
seize the customs house &c prevent
their landing and thus keep them
from going to Mexico City.
Officials declared thai President
Wilson had ample authority fol- his
action without the approval Of con.
gress.
The orders went out to Admiral
Fletcher at daybreak after President
Wilson and cabinet officials had been
in conference since 4 a. m. mostly
over the telephone.
The orders to the admiral, 1t was
said, conferred the broadest authority
upon him and directing that If neces'
sary he take the city Of Vera Cruz as
well as the customs house to prevent

O,Shauanessy Gets Passports.

Neutrality-suspicious. O'Shaugnessy,
the American charge at Mexico City,
has been handed his passports by
General Huerta and is preparing to
leave Mexico City. Heurta's handing
of passports to Charge O'Shaugnessy
was regarded as a most sensational
development in the situation as it was
believed to forecast a declaration of
war on the part Of Muerta. The CIV
ing Of passports to a minister or
charge d'atfaires in most cases, though
not invariably, has preceded a decla'
ration Of war.
