WORK OF AIRMEN
PLEASES THE NAVY
Great Value Shown by Flying
Boats at Vera Cruz for
Scouting Purposes.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, May 6.-Flying three
thousand feet above the harbor of Vera
Cruz. aviators 'of the United States
Navy ascertained that the waters Of
the harbor were free Of mines, and
| thus demonstrated the great value of
air craft. From a height Of three
thousand feet the aviators can look
into water below 10 a distance Of about
sixty feet and can discern the presence
OF submarine mines
The Navy Department is much
pleased with the work of the aviators.
After making a record in getting away
when ordered into service from Pensa-
cola. the aviation ship Mississippi got
to Vera Cruz at o p. m. on April n.
Al daylight the next morning the MIS-
sissippi anchored and five minutes
after the anchor went over Lieutenant
Bellinger was in the air with a navy
flying boat making a scouting trip.
There were two hydro-aeroplanes
aboard the Mississippi, and both were
ready for service the moment she ar
rived, but 1t was necessary 10 wait tor
daylight and orders from Admiral
Fletcher, in command ashore. as to
where he wanted the scouting done.
On Sunday, the Goth, the navy air
equipment was moved ashore. A sta
ton was established on the beach in
side the breakwater and the hangers
and tents for the flyers and mechani-
clans were set in place. Thenceforth
daily flights were made. The aviators
located railroads, bridges and Mexican
troops. They discovered where the
railroads were destroyed and reported
certain bridges burned. Lieutenant r.
/ c. Saufiey and En5ign Stotz made trips
with Lieutenant Bellinger, making
maps and reports on their observations.

Most famous Of all Mexico's prisons
noted for the untold thousands tortured
within its wall, the castle prison OF San

marines from the North Dakota took pos

VILLAS AMMUNITION HERE
Big Consignment to Rebel
Leader Held Up by Embargo.

General Villa will have a shortage OF
ammunition in his projected attacks
against central Mexico cities, judging
from the large quantities of ordered, yet
undelvered, ammunition in New York
arms company Offices. Inquiries made
yesterday showed that the rebel leader
had ordered heavily after the battle OF
Torreon, where it was shown that his
home made" shrapnel was almost use
less as against the imported French
shells used by the Federals.
Also, ii was said that large amounts
of rifle cartridges had been ordered
through agencies here. None OF these
shipments was delivered. owing TO the
replacing of the embargo on arms by
the Washington government after Gen
eral Carranza's note on the matter of
the Vera Cruz incident.
