By ARTHUR RUHL.

Vera Cruz, April 24.-Old Vera
Cruz is beginning to emerge from the
battle of the last two days. Shutters
are opening, dark-eyed, indolent
women with their hair hanging down
their backs are leaning from quaint
balconies and little tables under the
arcades around the plaza are again
filled with a curious, cosmopolitan
crowd taking their refreshments.
There was some sniping during the
night, but it was quiet to-day. with
blueiackets and marines policing every
block. Admiral Fletcher's proclama-
ton in Spanish, assuring the people
that the occupation is temporary and
civil officers shall continue their regu-
lar duties, was tackled up and read by
bewildered natives everywhere. There
are many of those quaint, serio-comic
little dramas inevitable i'll such
clash between people who do not I'M
derstand each others speech nor ways
OF thinking.
No stranger battle was ever fought
than that of the last two days. Navy
losses were ten times greater than in
the battle of Santiago, yet this is not
war. While Mausers were cracking from
housetops and closed shutters yester-
day the young officers and men march
ing against an enemy they could not
see, the Mexican transport Zaragoza,
damned with reinforcements, steamed
into the harbor under the very guns OF
the Dreadnoughts, any one OF which
could have crushed it as if it were
mosquito.
AS this is not war, the vessel could
not even be detained, but was ordered
not to anchor and, greatly to the
chagrin of the hapless Federal soldiers
on board no doubt, put about and
wandered aimlessly to sea again.

Shielded by Hospital Flag.

More than 80 Mexican sick and
tan Hospital when it was inspected
day by a navy surgeon. Among the
wounded was only one woman, who
had been shot 'hryugh the arm. In
the mortuary of the hospital forty
Mexican dead were found as well as a
supply Of ammunition.
This had been protected from the
gunfire Of the warships and the rife
fire of the landing parties by the hos
pital flag, although it appears certain
that there was much sniping from the
roof the hospital.
Conditions in the hospital were found
to be so bad that three navy surgeons
were detailed to-day TO assist the hos
pital authorities, while food and medl-
cine were supplied from the Solace.
All the American wounded have been
taken on board the Solace. and the
navy surgeons are enthusiastic over
the care and attention they are abb, to
give the stricken men owing to the ex-
cellent equipment of the vessel. Until
the arrival of the Solace the wounded
and the prisoners had been sent on
board the Prairie, which soon became
crowded. That vessel is Ill suited for
hospital work.

Machine Guns Installed.

The marines who had been holding
the outposts were relieved to-day by q
battalion Of bluejackets. All about the
city detachments OF blueJackets and
marines are quartered, while squads
patrol the streets. BY tomorrow IL Is
probable that the total force on shore
will reach $500 men.
The outposts have been equipped
with twelve machine guns and several
3-inch field pieces, which were taken
10 the front to-day by teams OF six
horses TO each gun. The animals were
frightened by the unaccustomed work
and the marines had a hard struggle,
but many of them displayed excellent
horsemanship.
Rear Admiral Fletchers headquar-
tiers at the Termin i Hotel are guarded
by machine guns. yhile in the vicinity
are seven field pieces, held in reserve.
The commissary ordnance and quar-
termasters departments worked eff

Two Custom Houses.

The Medical Department made an
inspection to-day of the sanitary con-
dltions of the city, and opened negotia-
tions with the Mexican health officials
in the hope of inducing them to return
TO their work.
With Commander Herman O. Stick

mander of the port. the American
authorities undertook to-day the ad-
ministration of the customs. For d

tom houses. Mariana Accarraga the
Mexican customs collector, Is not in
clined TO serve under American super
vision, but says he will take charge of
the undispatched business which was
in hand at the moment of the occupa e
ton.
Commander Stickney and his men
are to look after the new business. and
believe they will have no difficulty in
retaining a few OF the old officials.
one Of the reasons given by Accarraga
Tor declining to continue his duties
was that he would be violating the
Mexican law, az the port OF Vera Cruz
had been closed by orders from the
Federal capital.
