Heavy Gums Start Attack.

Special bu Ua,ted Press Wire
Washington, April 22-The Amer
lean forces began q general attack
on the city of Vera Cruz at 8 o'clock
this morning. They are operating
under protection of the guns of the
combined fleet of Admirals Fletcher
and Badger, which are shelling the
southern part of the city.
Consul Canada reports directly TO
President Wilson that he expects the
entire city will shortly be under the
control of the United States forces
and that order will be restored In
his report the consul says:
Firing commenced from the
MeXicans at daybreak today. Our
ships Immediately began to shell
the southern part of the city. A
large force of bluejackets and ma
rines from the feet of Admiral Bad
ger, were landed before daybreak
to support Fletchers men. AT
the same time | caused to be deliv-
cred copies of q proclamation signed
by Admiral Fletcher requesting the
local authorities and the population
of the city to aid In restoring order
Major Butler and his command
from Tampico are now ashore, anc
the Florida, Utah. Arkansas, Yer.
mont, New Hampshire, South Caro-
lima and Prairie are lying in close US
ing their guns. The Hancock with
its marines has been reported The
American forces which commenced
the original attack at o'clock are
operating under the guns of war ves-
sells. We have no details of Mexican
casualties, but believe that up to
o'clock last night, 100 Mexicans had
been killed or wounded"
Major Catlis and 800 marines are
supporting Lieutenant Col. Neville,
who is inscharge of the entire attack
ing force. 5000 American blue jack
cts and marines are driving the Mex
leans out of Vera Cruz. The town
will be in the American hands by
noon, it is reported.
Overshadowing everything else in
the Mexican situation was the posi-
tion of tho Americans and other fore
igners In the interior of that coun-
try. Grave apprehension for theiI
safety was felt by every officer of the
administration. Sinister rumors OF
anti-American massacres at several
points have been circulated. They
are not confirmed, but they serve tC
add to the general fear that a bloody
story Of treachery will yet be told in
connection with the events immedi-
ately following the landing of Flet-
cher's marines and bluejackets al
Vera Cruz. President Wilson ap.
peared very much troubled and in 6
very sad mood today. The news OF
the killing of Americans has had 6
very depressing effect upon him and
he was awake most of the night
waiting for the senate to stop talk
Ing and act.

was explained at the twenty-flrst con-
vention Of the Minnesota State Butter
and Cheese Makers in the Merchants
hotel, st. Paul, by e. ]. Holmes, state
dairy inspector from Braham. He
said:
'sThe butter maker who buys his
cream from the dairy farmer" said
the speaker. has to sell his products
by standard grades. This is to his ad-
vantage and IL would also be to the
advantage of the farmer IL he would
60 to the little extra trouble neces-
sary 10 sell his cream In tho same way.
There are indications that the buying
of cream viii soon be put on a basis
of quality instead of quantity alone.
For example, there is one cooper
alive creamery which sells butter TO a
railroad dining car service and 1t has
proved the great value of buying the
best and selling the best. Its cream
comes from inspected cattle. 1t Is
handled by men who are inspected and
IL grades high. The result Is that this
creamery gets 6 cents a pound for its
butter above the market price.
