VERA CRUZ. May 17.-Vera Cruz is
rapidly showing the effects Of the sani-
tation measures instituted by the Amer
lean authorities. The vultures are fast
leaving the city, probably because they
find there Is nothing for them to do.
The great public fish and meat mar
ket. which before the American occupa-
ton was a breeding spot for disease, Is
now wholly screened IN and can no
longer be located by its offensive doors.
The building has been thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected and the floors
and stalls are now washed every day.
The vendors Of fruits and sweets on
the streets have been compelled to keep
covers on their goods. which are pur-
chased TO large extent by the soldiers
and sailors. An anticipating ordinance
has been promulgated. and householders
will be compelled to place their refuse
in metal garbage cans which have been
ordered from the Onlteu otates Uy tfle
hundreds and which will he paid for
by the city.
All Citizens to BE vaceinated.
The compulsory vaccination Of all
the inhabitants will begin this week.
II will apply to every one and 1t Is
not thought that the Mexicans will
raise any objection.
The sick list remains at the low
rate of per cent. No malaria or other
fevers affect the Americans. the Mex
lean physicians have withdrawn from
the board OF health because the people
Of the city had dubbed them "Ameri-
canistas." but they are still cooperating
unofficially with the American doctors.
The first baseball game since the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz was played to-
day. 1t proved a big rival to the bull
fight as an attraction for the crowd.
