Vera Cruz, April 22.-Vera Cruz
is in the hands of forces from the
United States warships, but the oc-
cupation of the port yesterday was
not accomplished without the loss of
American lives.
Four Americans, bluejackets and
marines, were killed by the fire of
the Mexican soldiers, and twenty
wounded. The Mexican loss is not
known, but it is believed to have
been heavy.
The water front, the custom house
and all important piers, including
those under the terminal works from
which extend the railroads to the
capital, have been occupied. All the
territory around the American con-
sulate is strongly patrolled, and de-
tachments hold other sections of the
city.
The Mexican commander. Gen.
Gustavo Mas, offered a stubborn
resistance to the American advance,
and for hours there was fighting in
the streets. Toward nightfallit was
reported that the main body of the
federal garrison was in retreat to
westward.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, command
ing the United States warships, pre-
faced his occupation of the fort by a
demand, through the American con-
sui, w. w. Canada, for its surren-
der. Gen. Mas promptly declined
and ten whaleboats were sent off
from the side of the transport Prai-
rie, loaded with marines.

LANDING UNOPPOsEO. SHOTS MEET ADVANCE
BluejaCkets From Utah Reply With Two Three
Inch Guns With EHeCt---NO Refugees
Ashore Injured

These boats effected landing and
few minutes later Capt William H.
Rush of the battleship Florida, who
was in command of the operations
ashore, brought his flag in.
Capt. Rush's men already had TAX
en- up their position. They numbered
$50 bluejackets from the Florida, 800
marines from the Prairie and 65 ma
rines from the Florida. Later these
were augmented by detachment
from the Utah.
Soon the bluejackets and marines
marched through the streets leading
from the water front and along the
railroad yards. Others proceeded to
the American consulate, while still
others were deployed along the APP
proaches to Central Plaza, in which
Gen. Mas had concentrated his men.
These maneuVers were effected
without opposition, but suddenly
Gen. Mas challenged the advance
with the first shots-a volley fired
from point three blocks from the
marines and two blocks south of the
main plaza. There was a lull for ten
minutes and then another brief ex-
change from the west end of Mon
tesinos street, where a federal out
post was stationed.
At 1890 o'clock the firing became
general, and at o'clock the guns of
the transport Prairie went into ac-
ton.
Prior to this detachment of blue
jackets from the Utah, holding the
ground between the consulate and
the water front, opened with two of
their three-inch guns. The first shots
from these pieces were directed
against the ancient BenitO Juarez
tower, which once served as a light
house. This was occupied by Next
can sharpshooters Lieutenant. Com
mander Buchanan of the Florida ord
cred that it be destroyed. Five shots
brought the old tower down.
After Gen. Mas had been driven
from his position in Central Plaza,
the Americans found themselves the
object of fusillades from the tops of
houses. 1t was learned that most of
those engaged in this resistance
were civilians.
