Mexico, which precipitated the present

The letter was written at Tamp1co,
April IA, and describes the arrest OF
marines of the gunboat Dolphin as fol-
lows:
"The other day we went ashore, ten
of us and the paymaster, to get sup
plies, and we got too far down the
river on the firing line. AS soon as
we hit the beach tho federal army cap
tured us, and we were flying the
American flag, too. They held us
prisoners about Is hours. Our captain
then came over and got us. They
took the American flag off our boat
and threw it overheard. They thought
the paymaster was a relative of ex-
President Madero.
"The admiral certainly did rave. He
sent word to the Mexicans to offer an
apology and fire salute of Il guns to
the American flag or he would blow
the city of Tampico up. Two Mexican
officers came aboard and apologized,
but they would not fire the salute. The
admiral told them to fire it within "a
hours, but nothing stirring. He gave
them a 24-hour extension. Word was
sent here from Washington that, II

ESPECIAL SERVICE
| FLEET CREATED
Recalls SchIey's Famous Flying
Squadron in Spanish War.
FOR USE ON BLOCKADE DUTY
Squadron Will Be Composed OF In
conaruous Elements, Including
Battleships, Cruisers and All
Kinds Of Warships.

washington, d. C.-Secretary Dan
iels issued orders forming special
service squadron for service or the
east coast of Mexico. Rear Admiral
Cameron MGR. Winslow has been
selected to command.
The special service squadron will
consist of the battleships New York
and Texas, armored cruisers Wash
Iington and Montana, the Tacoma, Des
Moines, Chester, Salem, Nashville,
Dolphin, Castine, Machias, Paducah,
Wheeling, Petrol, Eagle and other yes
sells that may become available from
time to time.
Most of those vessels are well
adapted for in-shore work on the Mexi-
can coast and the experience and
ability of Rear Admiral Winslow
eminently fits him for command of this
squadron.
The creation of the special service
squadron recalled to naval veterans
the assembly of the famous flying
squadron" under the command Of the
late Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, in the early days of the Span
| ish War.
Only in the present instance the
special service squadron is composed
of the most incongruous elements,
ranging from the most powerful bat
tleships in the world, such as the New
York and Texas, to the tiniest gun
boats, such as the Petrol and Eagle,
each with a Spanish war record. This
squadron, starting off with 16 vessels,
and likely to be augmented to two
score, will be serviceable for block
aiding purposes and the smaller craft
will be particularly useful for in-shore
work.

Story of How Wilson Took Action
Anent Vera Cruz.
WAS AWAKEN BY TUMULTY
When Daniels Asked for instructions
the President Instantly Replied
"Tell Fletcher to Seize the
Customs House."

Washington, D. C.-The story of
how President Wilson ordered the Gus
toms4house at Vera Cruz to be seized
was as follows: The President had
gone to bed. The Senate was debat-
ing the joint resolution to approve the
use of the Army and Navy, and the
President determined to withhold ac-
though feeling that in an emergency
the Executive had ample authority to
act.
At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning Secre
tary Bryan received a cablegram from
Consul Canada telling of the approach
of German vessel with tremendous
cargo of ammunition for Huerta. A
number of locomotives and many cars
were in readiness to rush the arms to
Mexico City. Mr.. Bryan telephoned
Secretary Tumulty, who decided to
awaken the President. He telephoned
the White House. The servants were
timid, but Mr. Tumulty insisted Final
ly the President came to the telephone
and, while Secretary Tumulty was ex-
planning the situation, Secretary
Daniels called up and was put on the
same line. He, too, had dispatch
about the ammunition. Rear Admiral
Fletcher had sent wireless that fif-
teen million rounds of ammunition and
$50 machine guns would be landed
from the German vessel by noon that
day. The President listened in
silence.
What shall we do?" asked Secre-
tary Daniels.
Tell Fletcher to seize the customs

Good night" said the Secretary.
The telephone conference ended and
in few minutes wireless dispatches
were on their way to Rear Admiral
Fletcher. He received the message
at 10 A. M. and an hour later Ameri.
can marines had landed and taken
possession of the customs-house The
ammunition will go back to its ship
pers in Germany.
Disposition of the guns and ammuni
| ton in the cargo of the German vessel
Ypiranga was arranged for at con
ference between Secretary of State
Bryan and Ambassador Won Bernstorff
of Germany. The captain of the yes
sci, being unable to secure clearance
papers at Vera Cruz, will return the
cargo to it's former owners in Ger
many, although the Huerta govern
ment had paid in advance for muni
tions.
Most of transporting the cargo tc
Vera Cruz and return must be borne by
the consignors of the munitions. This
arrangement is in accord with the in
ternational precedents covering such
| incidents.

lows
"The Government of the United

erous concern for the peace and well
fare of America manifested in the

cellency rendering the good Offices of
your Government to effect, is possible,

between the Government of the United
States and those who now claim to rep
resent our sister Republic of Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made, this Gov
ernment does not feel at liberty to
decline it. It's chief interest is in the
peace of America, the cordial inter-
course of her republic and their peo-
pie and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understandings and the friend
ship which is created by common pur-
pose.
"The generous offer of your govern
ments is therefore accepted.
"This Government hopes most
earnestly that you may find those who
speak for the several elements of the
Mexican people willing and ready to
discuss terms Of satisfactory and,
therefore, permanent settlement. If
you should find them willing, this
Government will be glad to take up
with you for discussion in the frank
est and most conciliatory spirit any
proposals that may be authoritatively
formulated and will hope that they
may prove feasible and prophetic of a
new day of mutual cooperation and
confidence in America.
