AT VERA CRUZ.

While efforts at negotiation pro-
ceed, and are found to be quite as dif-
ticult as was expected. there is sit
uation at Vera cruz that may become
acute at any time. General Funston
has succeeded in protecting the city
water supply. Whether food sufficient
FOR the support OF the inhabitants can
be procudel in the face of threats that
neighboring farmers who supply it
will be regarded as renegades and shot
by the Mexican federals remains to be
seen.
And while the Americans are resting
on their arms Huerta's men are throw
ing up a strong defense and mining

II IS difficult to convince Huerta
and his adherents that the occupation
OF Vera cruz is not an act Of war but
demonstration of friendliness for
Mexico meantime the civil govern
ment which the Americans have estab-
lished in Vera cruz is preserving bet
ter order than the inhabitants have
ever known, and some Of them like il

ance.
