U. S. FLAG DEF|LED
Sailors Try to Stop Demon
stration by Mexican Mob.

New Orleans, Nov. 7.-Reliable reports
reached here tonight that a mob of Mexi-
can students in Vera Cruz had dragged
the American flag through mud in the
streets as an open and deliberate insult
to the United States.
Three United States sailors tried to
take the flag from the rioters, but were
driven away. Passengers arriving here
on the Mexican steamer Coahuila today
said they obtained this news from relia-
Bile sources.
The insult to the ars and Stripes was
perpetrated in the course of a celebration
of the American evacuation of Vera Cruz,
by the Mexican cadets.
The two United States sailors, who be-
longed to the crew of the battleship Ken
lucky, patroling Mexican waters, made a
quick dash for the flag as it was being
trampled upon. They rescued it and
made for the naval landing, pursued by
the Mexicans, flourishing swords and
bayonets.
Reports state that the Kentucky's COM
mander then trained the battleships guns
on the Vera Cruz plaza.
A few days later the Kentucky was re-
placed by the battleship Illinois. All
shore leave for American sailors on duty
in Mexican waters was revoked.
