 Washington, D. C., May D. Commander Garrison today is- sued proclamation calling for the surrender of all arms and ammunition in the Colorado strike districts not borne by federal troops. This order ap- plies to firms, corporations and individuals alike. A receipt is ] being given for arms and amn1u- nition taken by the government.
 Two strike breakers, Jud Snow and Robert Duggett, were burn- ed to death by fire alleged to be of incendiary origin, and which destroyed a frame build ing at Oak Creek, northern Col orado, occupied by a saloon and strikebreakers' lodging house, according to dispatches to the governor and United Mine Work ers' headquarters.
 Operators freely charge in- cendiarianism, as the feeling against the men acting as strike breakers is intense. These are the first fatalities at Oak Creek, although there was considerable trouble there some months ago, following the deportation of six teen Union leaders.
 Garrfson's disarmament proc lamation is meeting the general approval of both mine operators and strikers.

THRILLING STORY
 OF THE CAPTURE
Of Vera Cruz By The Americans And How The MObs In Cap-
 ital Treated Americans.
(By William c. Shepherd)

(By William c. Shepherd)
 Vera Cruz, April "A. (By Mail to New York.)-The news of the landing of marines came to Americans in Mexico City like 9 crash of thunder from a clear sky. For three days Americans had been fleeing from the city on nightly trains to Vera Cruz, de- parting amid the jeers of MeXi- can crowds on the platform of Buena Vista station. Huerta had been maintaining the strict est order in the city, prohibiting the formation of crowds and de- clining permission to the news papers to print the fact that Mexico had refused to salute the American flag.
 Americans had felt perfectly safe and had gone about the streets as usual, meeting only ugly looks and grim remarks.
 Tuesday morning (April 21) at 10 o'clock a man at the Amer ican club received a code mes sage from Vera Cruz saying that Admiral Fletcher intended to Hand marines at Vera Cruz at noon. The word went like wild fire in the American colony.
 Men telephoned to their homes telling their wives and children to stay indoors until the mer could reach them. The code message was soon verified bA news which came over railroad wires. By noon there was large crowG of men at the cable

-9 NO DEVELOPMENTS SOON.
President Spends Afternoon At Golf Links And No Definite
 Policy Announced.
United Press Dispatch.

Washington, D. C., May D. Mediation proposals have pro- gressed so far as to assume def mite shape. The statement was given out from official quarters today. 1t is understood that me- <, diators are hopeful at least of being able to reconcile differen- ces between Huerta and the U- nited States. Officials refuse to comment upon Carranza's refus- al of an arTnistice. A statement outlining what the mediators
 ave accomplished so far, is ex-
 4cted soon.
 A srne powers here continue to Iuggest that United States be 'nagnanimous, and suggesting .Hst the demand that Huerta re-
 ire be given up, as he must soon .lAEofck,3 Gut by Rebels. It is Sd that it will be possible to Gatle the dispute if this govern ment merely insists upon repara- tion for insult to flag"
 As though admitting that they donot expect this move to suc- ceed, the mediators are trying taforce Huerta to name success or and retire. The British am- bassador, Garden, also advised Dictator to quit. Huerta has Nsstantly refused to consider this as a solution.
 Evidently no immediate devel- Epments to the Mexican situa- lion were expected as the Pres ident spent this afternoon at the golf links. r,ao2syi--, vast4

 1 As soon as the news was con firmed 1 filed simple code mes sage reading: Films forward ed in Vera Cruz," which in oul private code meant: "Ameri can troops have entered Mexico at Vera Cruz" This was follow. ed by a second code message. did not know that these mes. sages reached New York until arrived in Vera Cruz today They were filed while excite ment in the cable office was al it's height.
 They've landed" the opera tor at Vera Cruz told us. They are firing the city" Ten min- utes later he wired, "The Ameri- can marines have rushed through the office here and are going on the roof. There is fighting all around here. Every body's gone out but me and if it gets any hotter I'm going out too." A few minutes later the cable was dead.
 At the railroad office much the same thing happened. Joe Dan- iels at the Vera Cruz end of the wire stayed at his post as long as possible, telling the Ameri- cans marooned in Mexico City what was happening. He wound up by saying, q can't stay in the ofic--," he didn't even have time to add the letter "e" to the last word.
 What will l do with my fam fly ?" Every man asked the other. They were aghast. The embassy was bombarded. O'Shaugnessy was astonished. He had received no word of the landing of the marines. The curb of the embassy was lined with automobiles and coaches and the offices were filled with drawn-faced men.
 T can't tell you a thing" said O'Shaugnessy.
 The men, therefore, freed O'Shaugnessy from blame. Ao- miral Fletcher and the officials at Washington were roundly cursed for not having given the Americans warning, but alarm was WlQoSpreaQ.
 What will the Mexicans do when they hear of it?" was the general question. The answer soon came. By 2 o'clock extra editions were on the streets. One paper tried to make it easy for Americans by saying that Americans in the capital deplor- ed the Vera Cruz incident. An other said: Yankees take Mex ican blood. Even the little chil- dren of the capital will rise against them" By 3 o'clock there were marching, singing crowds in the streets yelling Death to the Yankees.
 It rained all day-an eXtraor- dinary thing in Mexico City and Americans took shelter i'll "coches"-the typical Mexican carriage-and under the rubber tarpaulins. A day of sunshine might have meant bloodshed.
 The train which left Vera Cruz at 8:10 Tuesday evening was damned to the guards with Americans. Even sick persons had been placed aboard.

HAYTI MAY BE LET ALONE.
Bryan Likely to Let RevOlutionist
Leader Become President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3i.-There were in
dicatons to-day that Secretary Bryan
may permit the establishment of a revo-
lutlonist Government In Hayti. with the
leader OF the rebels forces as its Presi-
dent. despatch was made public at
the State Department saying that Sem
ator Theodore seemed TO be the strong
est candidate and the man with large
following both In the north and In the
capital Senator Theodore Is the leader
OF the rebellion and the man who pre-
cipitated the collapse OF the Government
and the flight OF President Oreste.
Mr.. Bryan said to-day that no ace,on
had been taken In the Haytian situation
by the United States In regard to the
establishment OF n new Government IN
accordance with the principles contained
in President Wilson's declaration of
policy.
The situation in Port au Prince is said
to be confused and threatening A COM
mittee of safety was organized among
the Diplomatic Corps but has been de-
fed in its endeavor to remove from onice
a local military commander.
The people OF Port au Prince are al
ready complaining about the landing OF
marines and are placing the blame on the
United States because it has landed
more than the German cruiser has and
IL supposed to be the most influential
Government In Haytian AFFAIRS. The
Germans are escaping all criticism for
taking the same action and at the Same
time are exerting very powerful IN
Nuence on the situation. German busi-
ness and financial interests In Hayti are
very large and the relations between the
Carman interests and the Haytian Gov
eminent have been always very close.

1T IL true that there must be one big

such a system could not be conducted eff
