WASHINGTON. June s.-The detailed
report from Rear Admiral Frank F.
Fletcher, U. S. N. Of the landing at Vera
Cruz was made public by the Navy De-
partment today.
1t is a succinct account of what naval
officers consider an admirably conducted
engagement. 1t shows that under heavy
fire the American forces handled them
selves most creditably. and accomplish
cd with ease all they set out to do.
Portions of Admiral FletcheSs re-
port, for some unknown reason, ap-
pear to have been suppressed. Both
have to do with Rear Admiral Sir
christopher Cradock, commanding the
British warships at Vera Cruz. The
first paragraph about Admiral Cradock,
which the department suppresses. is
that he complained. when informed
that the Americans were about to land,
that Admiral Fletcher had promised to
give him ample notice Of any move
ment, and that this had not been done.
Consequently. he said, he would stay
inside the harbor. keeping the cruiser

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ment today by the school board OF
Prince Georges county Of the resigna-
ton of Roger l.. Manning. principal OF
the Laurel High School, brings to
CLOSE a case which was fought through
the courts and before the state board
Of education. and which for a time
threatened to disrupt the high school.
According to the announcement, Prof.
Mannings resignation becomes effective
at the end OF the present term, June
date Of April 20.
The board also announced that Kirk
ley G. Morris, who. during the time MT
Manning was out Of the school, acted
as the principal, had been appointed as
the head.
The trouble between Mr.. Manning and
the board started when that body. fol-
lowing complaints made by the students
dismissed the principal. MIR. Manning
carried his case to the state school
board, which overruled the county
board, declaring that the charges were
insufficient. The case was then carried
to the circuit court, which sustained the
state school board, and upon being pre-
scented to the court of appeals, the de-
cision of the lower court was sustained.

The second reference to Admiral
Cradock was merely that he came
aboard Admiral Fletcher's flagship
and asked for permission to send the
cruiser Berwick to Puerto Mexico. This
was readily granted.
Admiral Fletcher's report shows that
he made every effort to do as little
lighting and damage as possible. and
that he used force only where neces-
sary He repeatedly tried. through
messengers. to reach the local authori-
ties and to ask them not to fire on
the American forces in order to avoid
