CARRANzA WANTS
u, S. TO EvACUATE
Says Seizure Of Vera Cruz is
Violation Of Sovereignty.

Demanding that the United States
withdraw it's forces from Mexican ter
ritory on the ground that the seizure
of Vera Cruz involves an act OF wal
against the entire Mexican nation, anc
intimating in terms not to be mistak
en- that refusal to do this will b,
followed by war, General Venustianc
Carranza, first chief" Of the Constitu
tionalists, served what amounts to al
ultimautm on President Wilson.
AS an alternative proposition, Gen
eral Carranza suggests that, afte
withdrawing its forces, the Unite>
States recognize the Constit&tlonalls
government and then present to 1t
demand for repa-ati1l for tie insul
offered to the American flag at Tam
pico.
If this is dcne, General Carranz;
mahrp 1t ,lear. full ropu~~tion ia th.
way OF a salute to the American col
ors will be made.
General Carranza's message came
as a response to a message sent tt
him by Secretary of State Bryan
which did not call for any answer al
all.
There is no mistaking the import .ol
General Carranzn's message. 1t is re
garded as a fat declaration Of war II
his demands are not acceded to. He
does not say that he will join hands
with General Huerta or any Federal
force, but his meaning Is clear.

tayo Mas, the commandant OF vera
Cruz. put up stubborn resistance.
General Mas challenged the advance
of the Americans almost from the first
and made it clear that the Mexicans
do not propose to permit peaeerul
occupation.
Less than half an hour after leaving
the side of the United States transport
Prairie the marines had landed, ano
the absence Of resistance at the water
front and the failure on the part OF
the Mexicans to contest the taking oil
a position somewhat in from the water
front caused the curious spectators IN
the street to laugh, and When one
Mexican peon ran for cover, having
had the temerity to shout at the TOP
of his voice "Viva Mexico!" loud guf'
flaws came from the onlookers.
But the lull was not indicative oil
compliance. A few shots came WITHIN
a few minutes and later brief e1
change, and the spectators. those Gu
riosity alone brought then into the
streets, fingered, thinking it was only
a show of resistance.
But after another brief interval the
fighting began in earnest and hour al
ter hour the Mexicans continued to op
pose the Americans, fercely In some
quarters, although the main body ap
parently seemed ready to quit.
Most of the firing was done by out
post parties placed on roofs OF houses
at various points Of vantage, whose
only nhaiee WAS tn keen on firing OIL
surrender.
The guns of the Prairie assisted the
landing party. Towards evening the
fighting continued, but it was more OF
a house-top character than deter
mined organized resistance.
Finally the Mexican soldiers Who
had not been captured, killed OF
wounded retreated westward.
The chief point from which the
Mexicans fired was in the central part
of the city. From the two houses
forming the Diligencia hotel the Me1i
can sharpshooters directed a trouble
some fire.
Marines are searching all housea
from which shots were fired, and al
Mexicans with arms in their hands
have been made prisoners and sent to
the United States mine ship San Fran
cisco. Some of the Mexicans were
thoroughly frightened, apparently ex
pecting that the Americans would
shoot their prisoners.

Diaz Followers Await an Op-

SCHEME LONG UNDER WAY

Have Perfected Arrangement Against
Huerta as Soon as His Fall Is EM
pected.
El Paso, Texas, April 24.-Advices
from Mexico City state that the fol
lowers of Porfrio Diaz and the friends
of his nephew, General Felix iiaz,
have perfected arrangements fCr III
uprising against Huerta as soon as the
fall of the present dictator Is as
sured.
Ex-President Porfrio Diaz, now III
Europe, has no part in the plans and
is only partly cognizant of them. Felix
Diaz is living in New York and will
not leave there unless the coup is
success.
1t is not known just what men in
Mexico City are in the DiaZ plot
against Huerta. Almost all OF tAe
cientifocos, the men of the old Dlaz
regime, have been banished by the
dictator, imprisoned or enforced 10
flee the country. The present rorIor
ista leaders are known only 10 General
Diaz and a few of his circle.
This latest plot was fornc ! r
the United States government, r,";1
Secretary Bryan, had declined to p
port General Diaz in his clai-. ) t.
the Mexican preidency. Felix iAz
wished guarantees from the Amer: an
government and declared that with
these he would be able to go into Mex
leo, establish peace and set up sta.
BILE government until elections could
be held. A man close to General Dia2
said:
There is no foundation for the be-
lief that CarranZa, Villa and Huerta
or their followers will ever unite
against the United States. They dc
not need to. They can simply cease
fighting each other and all let drive
at the Americans separately; and that
they will do so Carranza's latest mes
sage demanding that the Americans
evacuate Vera Cruz is the proof.
"But the supporters OF General Dia2
now in Mexico City-Porfroistas as
we call them-are thoroughly capable
and will know how to seize the mo-
ment when Huerta begins to tottel
to fall. They expect then to start
popular uprising, make themselves
masters or Ine capital, ana with Mex'
leo City in their hands appeal again to
Washington for support and recogni
tion.
"It Is not the intention Of General
Diaz or his supporters that he shall
be president CT Mexico by any means.
however unscrupulous. That would be
pleasing, but this cause is not one OF
personal ambition. The desire of Gen
eral Diaz, as of his father and theil
followers, is to save his country from
further reign Of terror or long wal
of conquest"

20 FEDERALS dc
DESTROYING CITY
Caught IN Explosion While
Blowing Up Buildings.
FIRED ON U. S. BORDER PATROL
Three Americans and Many Mexicans
Were Killed In Fight, Which Lasted
About Half an Hour.

Were Killed In Fight, Which Lasted
About Half an Hour.
The first conflict on the Mexican
border came when the Federal troops
of Provisional President Huerta fired
on the United States border patrol at
Laredo, Texas, from across the Rio
Grande.
The fire was promptly returned by
the United States troops on the Texas
side of the river.
The fight lasted for about half an
hour, during which three persons on
the American side were killed and at
least twelve Me1icans were seen to
fall under the accurate aim OF the
American soldiers.
The number Of wounded on both
sides has not yet been ascertained, as
the Mexicans were compelled to with
draw.
Beside the casualties sustained by
! the Mexicans in the exchange OF shots,
twenty of them are reported to have
been killed by dynamite explosions In
their efforts to destroy Nuevo Laredo,
which appeared successful, as the
flames were then raging.
The Federals, besides setting the
Mexican town on tlre, blew up many
buildings. Among the structures de-
stroyed by explosion and fire there
were the United States consulate, the
municipal building, the -four mill, one
of the largest In this section OF the
southwest; the postofflce, theater and
custom house.
1t was in the destruction of the
municipal building that the twenty
Mexican soldiers lost their lives.
Hundreds of persons we're attracted
to the river banks by the sound OF the
firing, and both men and women risk
ed their lives in watching the combat
while bullets fell near them.
1t was feared the Mexicans would
attempt to wreck the international
bridge, but they confined their atten'
tion to buildings in Nuevo Laredo.
The Federals evacuated NueVo La
redo on Thursday, with the announced
intention OF going to Saltillo to join
other Mexican forces. They returne'
during the night. ~
When the United States military
authorities learned Of the backward
move the border patrol of regulars on
the Texas side was reinforced to pre-
vent the Mexicans from destroying
the bridge.
It was said later that Huerta's
troops had come back for additional
locomotives for their troop trains, but
1t was believed In Laredo that they
were bent on mischief before aban-
doning the position across the river.
This was proved to be the case by the
events that followed.
After the Federals, who numbered
about 500, had started the fire and
dynamite havoc in Nuevo Laredo and
attacked the United States troops they
entrained to leave the city.
When the Federals boarded their
train it was thought that the danger
was past, but they again opened fire
from the car windows, aiming at eV-
erybody Unfortunately on the Amer
lean side.
A we'll directed fire from the United
States regulars soon silenced this part
ing salute and the troop train put on
all speed and soon was out Of range
of the shots.
