Another Attempt by Mexicsns to
Capture Vera Cruz Waterworks

Vera Cruz, Mexico. May AM
other fruitless demand by Mex
lean soldiers for the surrender of the
waterworks just outside of Vera Cruz
was reported by General Funston to-
day. The MexiCans called on the Am
erican outpost to surrender, but made
no vigorous effort to enforce the de-
mand. No shots were fired. The Mex
leans retired. Reports that Americans
were killed at san Pedro, Shiap, are
denied by the state department
The first demand by the Mexicans
for the surrender of the water works
plant was made Saturday. An attack
was threatened and supporting troops
for the Americans were at once order
ed forward by train from Vera Cruz.
What had promised to be n fierce fight
ended i'm the exchange OF not more
than half a dozen shots. The Mexicans
threatened To attack Immediately un-
less the Americans surrendered their
position within ten minutes" but fail
ed to fulfill their menace. The Mexi-
cans are still holding a position be-
yond the waterworks station.
The waterworks station forms the
most advanced post in the American
lines and was placed so far out of the
city only because the authorities re
garded il as absolutely essential To
protect the city's water supply.
Strict orders were issued yesterday
from headquarters To the American
soldiers and marines in Vera Cruz and
vicinity to remain in the same posi-
tion and not to'advance nor to bring

MANY PROBLEMS
Destruction of Railway Makes
Army's Possible Task Difficult

Washington, May 4.-That Presi-
| dent Wilson mad other possible event
ualities in mind than the mere matter
of salute from Huerta when he sent
two fleets to Mexican waters is proved
TO the satisfaction of war and navy
department officers and officials by the
activity which has pervaded all
branches Of the service.
simultaneously with the ordering If
this movement, the war department
became active in mobilization of land
forces, particularly with relation to
the so-called expeditionary army
which has been encamped at Texas
City within days cry of Galveston.
The officials who figured out for the
president the coast conditions and
gave him the data for a blockade of
Mexican ports were selected, not on
account of their technical ability but
because of their positive knowledge OF
the topography of Mexico. Represen-
tatives and senators who have follow
ed Mexican affairs closely admit that
when President Wilson did get on
the Mexican job he called upon both
arms of the war service, and made il
plain that he wanted his information
from men who knew, rather than from
professional tacticians.
"Huerta's Been Strineine U.s."
said to have given him an insight into
conditions which would surround pos
sible Intervention, which he had failed
to receive either from the state de-
partment or from any of the special
agents of the government. with the
possible exception of John Lind.
just as President Wilson likes
smart farce or an active melo- drama
better than he does Ibsen or Shakes
peare, so he was Immediately impress
ed by John Lind's first statement on
his return from Vera cruz. which was:
That man. Huerta is 'stringing' us,
Mr.. President"
Men close to the president say his
simple statement from his special rep
resentative carried more weight than
all tho verbose reports on the Mexican
situation which he had received since
he raised the embargo on arms at the
border.
Having obtained the right informa-
tion regarding the naval side of the
problem, the president called on prac-
tically the same source-that is. men
who knew MeXico-for their ideas on |
what would be necessary for a land
This was much more diff |

 There are hundreds of people who are not attracted to a moving picture house through the announcement of a particularly interesting drama or comedy offering. But when live topic like The Barbary Coast" is ah-
 nounced there is something com polling about the announcement. , There were hundreds at the Regale 1 theater on Saturday and Sunday who : had never visited the place before. i They either read of the feature offer ing in The Republican or were told of it by some others who had read the announcement.
