THREE MORE MEN KILLED
By MEXICAN SHARP SHOOTERS
FROM ROOFS OF VERA CRUZ

Rear Admiral Fletcher ad-
vised all Americans to leave
the hotels here and spend last
night on the refugee ship Mex
leo. No reason was given, but
sniping again broke out dur
ing the night and the COM
manders are believed to be ex-
pecting another engagement.
The order of the admiral
was received with the greatest
surprise as great crowds s
th1onged the cafes and plaza
last night. Street cars we're
running as usual and women
and children appeared on the
streets for the first time since
Tuesday. All but normal con-
.ditions prevailed. The Amerl-
can officers have commandeer-
ed all automobiles and ear
riages for use in moving ma
rines to various sections Of the
city. Reports from the hos

clare that only three of the

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April

Messy, American charge d. at

going to Vera Cruz but it was
the intention of O'Shaughnes-
sy to leave secretly for Manzil-
10 on the west coast.
Since Tuesday, when Vera
Cruz was taken, Americans
have carried their lives in their
hands in Mexico City. AS the
men worked tirelessly in the
embassy, preparing rifles and
machine guns for action, the
brave women of the colony
constantly encouraged their
husbands. There was no sign
of fear. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy

The shocks occurring simultaneous

kMERICANS AT HVERTA'S MERCY
lind WITH RAGE, ROERIA TELLS NATIVES
|I0 Go AHEAD AND ASSAULT AMERICANS

Tuesday night every man in
the American colony, includ-
ing the correspondents, went
to the embassy and prepared
N5 rifles and two machine
guns for use. They were in
the basement, and all were
brought out, tested and found
to be ready. Every interview
between O'Shaughnessy and
General Huerta increased the
blind anger of the dictator.
When I last saw the charge he
was unspeakably worried. The
last report we heard was that
Huerta planned to strip the
embassy of its guns in retalia-
ton for the taking of Vera
Cruz. He had already Seized
the railways and the cable and
refused to permit O'Shaugh-
iessy, Consul General shanklin
or Captain Burnside, the mill
tary attache, to send messages
of any description.
"All I want is to get the en-
bassy out of here was the
statement O'Chaughnessy
made to me the last time I
saw him.
Members Of the house Of
| deputies led the mob which
rioted in front of the American
club after the news of Vera
Cruz was received. c.e news
of the landing of marines
reached the people through ex-.
ira editions of newspapers.
The dictator seemed to do ev-
:erything possible to inflame
the crowds. He was success
full. They stormed through
the streets, driving Americans
before them and then swept on
toward the embassy. Charge
O'Shaughnessy had no word
from Washington as to the ac-
tion that had been taken as
messages to him were with,
held. At the request of Am
bassador Garden, a guard of
forty police was sent by Hu-
erta but throughout Tuesday
and Wednesday the embassy
was surrounded by hooting,
jeering crowds. Huerta &C
tion in permitting the mobs to
vent their anger against the
Americans was obviously in an
effort to gain sympathy. If
the dictator finds that the fol-
lowers of Carranza and Zapa-
ia, the bandit chief of the
south are anti-American he
may even permit violence in an
effort to consolidate the divid.
ed factions of the country. En-
route to Vera Cruz, our train
came upon the federal army
which fled from Vera Cruz and
7 talked with the Mexican SOL
diers. They were wild with
anger and declared they would
return soon and "wipe out the
Americans
"The Americans fired before
we expected" " the troopers
said, as they related the story
of the landing, their hatred for
American sailors increasing
with every repeated detail.
"We carried fifteen cannon
away with u.s." the soldiers
told me. "and will soon be
ready to return and drive out
the gringoe squad" I took a
photo of the retreating troops
