Washington, June 1.--American war
ships at Vera Cruz will not be with
drawn mmediately because of the OUT
break of bubonic plague there, 1t was
said today at the navy department.
None of the men of the vessels, how
ever will be permitted TO go ashore.
Navy officials said they knew of no
offer to send hospital ships to Vera
Cruz to assist in the fight against the
disease. The American consul at that
port, however, reported to the state

Wilson Offers Medical Aid.
Vera Cruz, May 31.-(A. P)-Presi-
dent Wilson has offered to send hospital
ships, nurses, doctors and medical sup
plies to Vera Cruz Immediately to as
sist in combating the bubonic plague,
which has made its appearance here,
eleven authenticated cases having de-
Yeloped to date and five deaths result
ing.
The history Of the outbreak appears
to date back to May Is, when the first
case is believed now to have developed.
The victim in this case died on May %
and the second victim on May "a
Up to that, time it had not been sus-
pected tnat the disease from which the
deaths occurred was OF the bubonic
type, although the symptoms now de-
scribed indicate this to have been the
case On May 81 another case of the
same nature appeared. and upon thor
ough examination 1t was found to be
bubonic,
Since that date there have been
found eleven proved cases, noted flve
of the eleven victims dying.
Judging from the individuals at
tackled and the location OF their homes,
it seems to be established that the local
point of the outbreak is the warehouses
of one of the docking companies. 1t is
considered certain that rats transmitted
the plague, as recently number of
dead rodents have been found near
these warehouses.
Vera Cruz is already completely cut
off from the rest of the republic. Re-
lief has already begun to arrive from
the outside, however, train from
Mexico City coming in tonight with
of the sanitary corps
and material with which to fight the
plague.
In the opinion of the medical authori--
ties the plague has not yet attained
the character of an epidemic, and they
believe it can easily be controlled by
taking the proper measures to combat
1t. Fumigation of the freight ware
houses already has been begun. as has
the cleaning up of dwellings and the
burning of wooden houses near the CEN
trail point OF the outbreak.
Traffic Diverted.
Mexico City, June las result OF
the isolation Of Vera Cruz because of
the bubonic plague, railroad officials
between this city and the Gulf of Mex
leo will be directed through Tampico in
the future. 1t was announced today.
