ANCIENT MEXICAN
FORTRESS CHANGED

WASHINGTON, July 8. - The
ancient Mexican fortress Of San Juan
De Ulloa, in Vera Cruz harDor, Is de-
clared to be no longer military
prison in decree published by Cen
eral Carranza which reached the
state department today
"Thc constitutionaiist government, W
saws the decree. will change the use
Of this federal structure and devote 1t
TO other service II public administra-
ton which will make 1t more worthy
while preserving It as a historical
monument"
The fortress was built by the Span
lsh conquefors Of Mexico and has no
value for military purposes. Recently
Carranal occupied IL as his official
residence. For years u had been
used by Mexican authorities to i'm
prison military and other prisoners
and there were several hundred such
within its walls at the American oc-
cupation Of Vera Cruz. Most of them
were merely recruits for the Huerta
army, although some political prison.
ers had been there for nearly half a
century. The commander Of the
fortress did not resist the American
forces and no shots were fired from
It. A few days later the Mexican gar
rison marched out, leaving their arms
behind and the American authorities
liberated all prisoners not held under
court sentence.
