Later the rebels again entered the
city and began occupying strategic

The reports did not make clear
whether the warships had deserted
the Carranza cause.
President Carranza was said to be
hiding in Vera Cruz and a dragnet
was reported to have been thrown
out by the revolutionists to prevent
his escape, If possible.
