Vera Cruz. April 27.-With a loss of

that of all the Spanish-Ainerican war,
Vera Cruz has been restored to normal
conditions. The civil government has
been r~e-organized under American di-
rection and the affairs of the city are

customs receipts will be held by the
United States.
The occupation of Vera Cruz cost

killed in the occupation of Vera CrA
is placed at 1926 and 1876 We're wounded.
Rear Admiral Badger in his report
to the navy department last night
stated that his forces are now so
strongly entrenched and so we'll posted
that he could successfully resist any
Mexican attack. No attack is expected
at present, he said. The number of
marines and b~luejackets now ashore is
approximately 6,400. These will be sup
ported in a few days by the $500 in
fantry n artillery under command of
General Funston now en- route from
Galveston.
Almost normal tranquility has been
restored in the city. but occasional
sniping occurred during the night.
There was, however. no general dis
order, the domination of the city by
the American forces having been gen.
orally accepted by the residents. The
