Gentlemen Of the Congress:
1T is my duty to cali your attention

men Of the army OF Gen. Huerta.
Neither the paymaster nor any one

rest took place, and were obliged to
leave it and submit to be taken into
custody, Notwithstanding the fact that
The boat carried-both at her bow and
1t her stern--the flag Of the United
States. The officer who made the arrest
was proceeding up one OF the streets OF
The town with his prisoners when met
BY an officer OF higher authority, who

A series Of incidents has recently
occurred which cannot but create the
impression that the representatives of
Gen. Huerta we're willing TO 60 out Of
their way to show disregard for the Dig
nifty and rights Of this government and
felt perfectly safe in doing shat they
pleased, making free to show in many
ways their irritation and contempt. !
A few days after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from the q. s. s.
Minnesota was arrested at Vera Cruz
while ashore in uniform to obtain the
ships mail and was for time thrown
into Jail. An official dispatch from this
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1914-04-24
APoLOGIzED.

The release was followed by apol-
ogies from the commander, and later
by an expression Of regret by Gen.
Huerta himself. Gen. Huerta urged
that martial law obtained at the time
at Tampico; that orders had been issued
that no one should be allowed 10 land
at the Iturbide bridge, and that our
sailors had no right to land there. Our
naval commander at the port had not
been notified OF any such prohibition,
and, even II they had been, the only
iustifable course, open to the local au-
thorities would have been to request
the paymaster and his men to withdraw
and to lodge protest with the COM
officer OF the feet.
Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest
as so serious an affront that he was not
satisfied with the apologies offered but
demanded that the flag Of the United
States be saluted with special ceremony
BY the military commander OF the port.
The incident cannot be regarded as
! trivial one, especially as two Of the
ian arrested were taken from the boat
tself-that Is to say. from the territory
II the United States; but had it stood
,y itself, it might have been attributed
Q the ignorance or arrogance OF sin
lie officer. Unfortunately it was not
10 isolated case.
