FIRST BLOOD TUESDAY.

From the middle of last week
expectancy was on tiptoe among
the people and many looked for
an open declaration of war.
Huerta, who murdered Presi-
dent Madero, and who has him
self never been recognized by
this country, notwithstanding he
has set himself up as President,
refused to fire q certain salute e,
as an apology for having arrest
ed certain marines. President
Wilson demands the salute
Hureta refuses to give it to the
warship except simultaneously,
aud the matters hangs, Now
President Wilson makes certain
reprisals and in reality protect
the Mexican people from Huerta,
the murderer and usnrper--in
other words it seems like war
on Huerta instead of on Mexico
and the Senate will follow the
House in backing President
Wilson in the use of the Army
and Navy. as soon as the matter
of wording can be arranged to
suit that august body.
Within the last twenty.four
hours the feeling between the
Huerta government in Mexico
and the governmental Washing
ton has been greatly identified.
Huerta has finally refused to
make amends for the conduct of
his people in arresting the Amer
lean Blue Jackets at TampicO
and President Wilson has order
ed the American War Ships to
proceed to Mexican water and
take charge of their custom
houses along the coast.
In an attempt to land the
American marines at Vera Cruz,
late Tuesday, the Huerta Gov
ernment made a determined and
desperate resis tance, and fierce
battle was fought between the
Battleship Florida and the Scout
Crusier Prairie, and the Mexican

10000 small booklets containing in
formation about this city's attrac-
tions as residential place, and ad-
vertising in out-of-town newspapers.

sided for the first time since his cleo
ton. He urged active cooperation
