First Plan Is to Strike Directly
at the Mexican Capital.
MEMcANS UNITE IN DEFENSE
Carranza Demands Withdrawal From
Vera Cruz and President Wilson
Serves Direct Notice That
United States Is Prepared
for Any Emergency-Dip-
lomatic Relations
Severed.

Washington, April "a. - Word
reached the war department that the
constitutionalists and the Huertistas
at Tampico have united to oppose any
American operations.
All Mexico is TO be bottled up and
the American military forces will
| strike directly at Mexico City
This is the answer to Huerta' 8
threat of a declaration OF war and
| CarranZa's taking sides with the die
tator. The embargo against shipments
of arms to Mexico. lifted recently for
the rebels benefit. has been re-estab-
| lished. The army will guard the entire
| Mexican border. Warships will close
! all Mexican ports. The navy and war
| departments have made plans for the
| early seizure of the railroad from Vera
Cruz to Mexico City.
These steps we're decided on at a
conference by President Wilson. mem
bers of the cabinet and the military
and navy advisers
! Work preliminary to the seizure of
the railroad from Mexico Ci;y to the
eastern seacoast has already been
| done.
Wilson Answers Carranza.
President Wilson made formal an
swer to the protest from General Car
rama against the seizure OF Vera
Cruz by the American forces. In his
protest Carranza declared that Huerta
was an usurper and that demands for
| reparation on account of the alleged
| ill-treatment of American sailors at
Vera Cruz should have been made to
him as leader of the constitutlonalists
In reply President Wilson issued the
following statement:
Il wish 10 reiterate with the great.
est earnestness the desire and inten-
ton of this government to respect in
every possible way the sovereignty
and independence of the people OF
Mexico
The feeling and intention OF the
government in this matter are not
based upon politics. They go much
deeper than that. They are based upon
genuine friendship for the Mexican
people and a profound interest in the
re-establishment OF their constitutional
system.
To Keep One Object in View.
Whatever unhappy circumstances
or necessities may arise, this object
will be held steadily in view and pur
sued with consistent purpose so fan
as this government is concerned
But We are dealing with facts
Wherever and whenever the dignity OF
the United States is fiouted its inter
national rights or the rights OF Its
citizens invaded. or its influence re
buffed. where il has the right to at
tempt to exercise 1t, this government

Americans in Possession.
At ten o'clock Wednesday morning
the Americans were in undisputed
/ possession of all the city except the
4 southwest quarter, in which the bar
racks are situated, and few outlying
districts. At noon they haG taken the
barracks. When the city prison.
which faces the main plaza OF the
city, was captured, Lieutenant Com
mander Buchanan of the Florida made
an inspection tour through it.
There was great surprise among the
Mexicans who had gathered there that
the prisoners were not released. They
had been accustomed TO seeing the
victor always release prisoners and
then impress them into his army
Police Chief a Prisoner.
Chief of Police Antonio Villa Vicen-
clio was taken prisoner by the Ameri-
cans shortly after they had occupied
the main plaza of the city 1t was
suggested to him that he continue in
his official capacity to direct the city's
protective system. He took the mat
ter under advisement.
Had the frightened mayor made up
his mind to accede to Admiral Fetch
er's suggestion, which was made
through Consul Canada. the Mexicans
might have been spared the humilia-
ton of being forced from their posi-
tions, and undoubtedly a number of
lives would not have been sacrificed.
Coincident with the orders for the
general advance of the Americans, an
aged white-haired Mexican. carrying
the white flag of truce, came down a
street from the lenter of the city. He
carried a letter to the chief of police,
the only authority he hoped to reach.
and desired Consul Canada to read it
Old Man Makes Appeal.
1t was an urgent appeal to the chief
of police to call OFF the snipers and
prevent the bombardment he believed
would follow if they continued their
execution. Even before the messenger
had climbed the stairs into the con-
sul's office, Captain Rush was in
formed of the contents of the note he
bore and Immediately sounded Cease
firing" and Halt
But it was too late. The action had
been begun all along the line and 1t
was not considered wise to attempt
further measures to stop 1t. The com.
manders ordered their men forward at
the double quick, which they carried
out with vigor that afterward gave
them the city.
Blood-bespattered sidewalks, broken
windows and bullet-scarred walls gave
the plaza fearful aspect. Within the
Diligencia hotel there we're 40 Ameri-
cans, most of them women. who had
been there since the commencement
of hostilities. When the square was
taken they were Immediately notified
that they might go to other places IL
they so desired, but that they prob
ably would incur no further danger by
remaining in the hotel.
Mas Ordered to Vacate.
It was not until late Tuesday that
the last of General Mas men on top
of the hotel received written orders
from outside the city to vacate their
position. The order was obeyed by a
portion of the hundred men who were
occupying the roof and vantage points
in the interior, but a small portion Of
the band determined to disobey the
orders of their superiors and fight to
the last. These men. however. sur
rendered Wednesday morning.
