TO EVACUATE VERA
CRUZ TWENTYIH|RD
DATE SET FOR SOLDIERS OF THE
UNITED STATES TO LEAVE
MEXICO.
CHIEFS PROMISE SAFETY
carranza and Aguas calientss Con.
vention Agree to Terms Submitted
by Department Of State.

Washington. - Monday, November
% was fixed as the date for the Amer
lean evacuation Of Vera Cruz.
Secretary Bryan issued this In
nouncement:
Both General Carranza and the
convention at Aguas Calientes having
given the assurances and guarantees
requested, it is the purpose of the Adj
ministration to withdraw the troops OF
the United States from Vera Cruz on
Monday, the 23d Of November.
"A1l the persons there for whose
personal safety this government has
made itself responsible have lett the
city. The priests and nuns who had
taken refuge there and for whose
safety fears were entertained, are now
on their way to this country"
This statement was given out after
a long conference between Mr.. Bryan
and President Wilson. 1t apparently
was received with surprise In some of
fetal quarters, the general understand
ing having been that the evacuation
might be delayed Indefinitely pending
reports on the alignment Of the va
rious Mexican chiefs In the latest civil
war
Secretary Bryan declined to add to
the formal announcement, saying de-
tails would be made public by the
War Department. Secretary Garrison
had nothing to say and to Just what
authority the port Of Vera Cruz would
be delivered was not made plain. 1t
has been assumed, however, that as
the United States throughout the Mex
lean difficulties has dealt with the de
facto authorities actually in control OF
territory involved, the city would be
turned over to an agent OF General
Carranza, probably General Candida
Aguilars sy,t
AS far as is known there has been
no final decision as TO when and to
whom the more than a 100000 Of
Mexican customs moneys low held
by the United States shall be paid.
Both Carranza and the Aguas Cal
ientes convention have given guaran-
tees that customs duties collected will
not be reimposed. In view Of the COM
plications which might arise, however,
in the event Carranza were driven
from power by Villas army, support
ing General Gutierrez, the conyen,
lions new provisional President, It has
been suggested that payment OF the
money might be withheld, pending q
Qualification Of the situation.
