congress in his message that the eX-
ecutivc really had authority to act, but
that he preferred the approval Of con
gress before making any important
move.
Members Of the house retired in
stead OF waiting for the senate to re-
convene. Crowds throngcd the sen
ate galleries and corridors.
Against IIucrta Only.
At executive quarters there was a
let-up in the late hours. Clerks were
on duty for emergencies but no move
ments were announced. A high official
who was in conference with the presi-
dent pointed significantly to the fact
that no orders had been issued to the
army, and remarked that the Consti-
tutionalists need not be nervous over
the situation, for the present action
was aimed entirely against Huerta. 1t
was said that one Of the reasons the
white house was insistcnt on individ-
ualizing Huerta in the resolution was
to prevent the Constitutionalists from
misinterDreting present movements as
threatening hostilitics against thelh or
the Mexican people generally.
With the announcemcnt'earli that
the battleships Virginia. Nebraska and
Georgia Of the third division, had been
ordered from Boston to Tampico, it
was believed the final orders had been
given for the movement of ships on
the Atlantic side Of the continent.
The receipt late tonight of the state
mcnt dictated by General Huerta to
the Associated Press saying there was
no American flag in the Dolphin's
whaleboat brought about informal
comment from navy department OFF,
cials who asserted that Rear-Admiral
Mayo had reported the boat as flying
the colors Of the United States at both
bow and STERN. In any event, the
American government considers the
arrest Of bluejackets in American uni
form as unwarranted.
Just before midnight Secretary Tu-
multy left the white house for the
hotel where Vice President Marshall
lives. Postmaster General Rurleson
and Secretary Garrison were there
and all went to the capital.
BY adjourning until 1910 O'Clock
the senate had ended the calendar day
OF Monday and, under the senate rules,
single objection to a report from a
committee Is sufficient to put the mat
ter over one day.

FOUR KILLED
i'm BATTLE

Vera Cruz, April s1.-Vern Cruz to-
night is in the hands Of forces from
the United States warships, but the
occupation Of the port was not accom-
plishcd without loss OF American lives
Four American bluetackets and ma
rines were killed by the fire OF the
Mexicans and 20 fell wounded. The
Mexican loss is not known, but it is
believed to have been heavy. The wa
ter front, the customs house and all
important piers, including those un-
der terminal works, from which ex-
tend the railroads to the capital, have
been occupied. All the territory
around the American consulate is
strongly patrolled and detachmcnts

The Mexican commander, Gen. GUS

tancc to the American advance and for
many hours there was fighting in the
streets. Towards nightfall 1t was re-
ported that the main body Of the fed
eral garrison vas in retreat to the
westward.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, command
ing the United States warships, pre-
faced his occupation Of the port by
a demand, through the American con-
sui, w. w. Canada, for its surrender.
Gen. Mas promptly declined to ac-
cede to this demand and shortly after

proved these reports to be untrue. 1t
is understood that the fight was the
result of dispute over n game of

house before noon and few minutes
later Capt. Wm r.. Rush Of the bat
ueship Florida, who was in COM
mand OF the operations ashore,
brought his flag in.
Capt. Rushs men already had tax
en- UP their positions. They num-
bered l50 bluejackets from the Flor
ida, 800 marines from the Prairie and
65 marines from the Florida. Later
these were augmented by a detach-
ment from the Utah
The coming Of the American forces
was not heraldcd by any great ex-
citcmeEt, but small crowds gathered
to watch the landing. Soon the blue
jackets and marines marched through
the streets, leading from the water
front and along the railroad yards
Others proceeded to the American
consulate, while still others were de-
ployed along the approaches to cen
tral plaza, in which Gen. Mas had
concentrated his men.
These manoeufres were effected
without opposition but suddenly Gen
Mas challenged the advance with the
first shots volley fired from point
three blocks from the marines and
two blocks south OF the main plaza
The marines replied Immediately, but
the action ceased in moment. There

another brief exchange from the west
end of Montesenos street, where a
federal outpost was stationed.
Prairie In Action.
At 80 the firing became general
and at ! o'clock the guns Of the trans
port Prairie went into action.
Prior to this, a detachment Of blue
Jackets from the Utah, holding the
ground between the consulate and the
waterfront, opened with two Of their
three-inch guns. The first shots from
these pieces were directed against the
ancient Benito Juarez tower which
once served as a lighthouse. This
was occupied by Mexican sharpshoot
crs. Lieut.. Commander Buchanan of
the Florida ordered that it be de-
stroycd. Five shots brought the old
tower down.

trainloads arrived from the capital
Some Of these remained ashore, but
many were taken aboard the steam
ers So far as can be learned, no
refugees were injured.
The demand for che surrender OF
Vera Cruz was made at 0 o'clock in
the morning. Consul Canada called
Gen. Gustavc Mas, commandant OF
Vera Cruz, by telephone and present
cd the demands, saying that the Unit

curv nrd hold the town. He called
upon hm to surrender in the name

Washington, April 2O.-In for
ty-eight hours, possibly less, the
United States government will
have taken possession Of the Mex
lean customs houses at Tampico
and Vera Cruz.
Detailed plans for landing of
marines at these two important
coast towns were completed at a
conference at the white house be-
aween president Wilson, Sccre-
taries Bryan, Garrison and Dan
iels, Major-Gcnerai Wood and
Rear Admirals Riske and Blue and

No orders to the army and navy
will be issued tonight" was the
announcement made after the con-
ference, action being deferred un-
til congress acts on the joint reso-
tuition approving the president s
purpose of using the armed fore
es of the United State, to enforce
it's demands against General HUI
erta growing out of the arrest at
Tampico Of American blue Jack
ets
The resolution passed the house
tonight, by vote of 337 to 81, af-
Ter a spirited debate. For several
hours it was considered by the sen
ate foreign relations committee
with prospects Of an all-night scs-
zion Of the Senate, or a recess un-
til early tomorrow.
The house adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow. President Will
son retired after hearing that the
house had adopted the resolution.
Persons in touch with the pres
ident said the steps "short Of war"
which would be taken by tho Unit
ed States were of nature which
would not require formal notifica-
zion to the powers IN the same
sense that a declaration Of block
ade or other prcliminaries to war.
Foreign governments will be kept
informed of developments, howev-
or.
The debate in the house brought
cut the fact that, while the Amcri-
can navy probably would block
Mexico off from commerce with the
United States it would not inter
fcre with the passage to and fro of
foreign vessels, though cargoes
discharged on the shore might be
held at the customs houses.
During the evening there were in
formal conferences Of Democrats and
Republicans and opposition to the
phraseology of the resolution was ap-
parent. Many senator's, among them
few Democrats, objected to singing
out General Huerta as an individual,
and wanted to amend the resolution
to direct 1t against the de facto gov
ernment in the City Of Mexico. Others
wanted to make the resolution broad
enough to cover Mexico generally.
Administration leaders were Begin
ming to rally their forces early in an
/. ticipation of Republican opposition.
Administration senator's held that
, the passage of the resolution was a
step which would enable the president
practically to prevent war by forcing
Huerta to respect Americans and their
/. interests.
The president had made 1t clear to
