Press rer that telegraph wires from Mexico City to Vera Cruz were cut yesterday, which would probably account for the lack of in- formation. Wilson Is Disheartened. “I'm sorry, terribly sorry,” President Wilson's first words when news of loss of life in taking Vera him. Today the president was sad and disheartencd. As he walked slowly to his office through the White House his head was bowed and his face a study deep feeling and gravity. Meeting Is Called, A meeting of the executive com- mittee of the American Red Cross was called for late today at the war department, for the purpose of pre- paring for emergencies in Mexico. Not Prelude to War. Such a severance of diplomatic re- lations, though not necessarily a prelude to war, is one of the steps were | that .must be taken if war is to be formally declared, and it is surmised that Huerta is now about to resort to | that step, regardless of any construc- tion ‘that may be placed upon the existing status of relations between the United States and Mexico by the ex- ecutive of the former. If this surmise is well founded the international relations of Mexi- co necessarily would be greatly af- fected and be readjusted to suit con- ditions of actual war, such as those artsing from a blockade and the ne- cessity of defining the rights of neu- trals within Mexican territory, It is presumed that Huerta prompt- ly will serve notice upon. the powers through the Mexican diplomatic rep- resentatives abroad of such a develop- ment, in order that they might issue the customary proclamations of neu- trality. should they care to do so. Such proclamations would have some effect upon American commerce and upon the right of the United States government to secure ships and muni- | tions of war from abroad. Responsible for Tragedy. Natural features of the city of Vera Cruz and the character of the bufldings along the water front there were largely responsible for the loss of life of American bluejackets and marines who landed there yesterday. This opinion was expressed today by government officials who are familiar with' the captured city. Between the bay and the line of two-story buildings which face it is a vacant space of about 300 yards of beach ‘open to fire from house tops. The customs house, which can only be reached by crossing the open space, stands in this solid group of buildings at the end of one of the two long plers where the foreign merchant ships land. Buildings Form Fortifications. Like most of the structures in the southern countries, the flat roofed bulldings with their high coping form a veritable fortification from which riflemen may pick off those below in comparative safety. As the blocks are practically solid quite a formidable troop can be mustered on the top of a square of buildings. It was from this protected position that the Mexican troops opened fire on the bluejackets and marines. The remainder of the city, with its brick and plaster houses and its straight asphalted streets, makes a pretty picture. Trees are scarce, their growth having been discouraged since the yellow fever epidemics, but the principal avenue which stretches the entire length of the town and out into the suburbs, is lined with cocoa palms. The principal business street as well is bordered by rows of palms and almond trees. e Along the wharves the buildings are not unprepossessing structures, uni- formly brick two storles and flat roofed. These natyral fortifications, officials who have recently returned from Vera Cruz believe, saved the lives of many bluejackets and marines, as well as Mexicans, although the landing di- vision was made up of some of Unclé Sam’s bast marksmen. Proof of Condition. Scattered and disorganized resist- ance on the part of the Mexicans is, in the opinion of these officials, proof of the utterly helpless condition of the Mexican troops. The Mexican people as a whole, one of these officials declared, were not unfriendly to the United States =ol- diers and the various demonstrations which have occurred can be traced directly to petty functionaries and po- lice. Many of the inhabitants of Vera Cruz, unlike most Mexican citles, carry a strong taint of black blood and the negro type is common among the cit- izens, though the negro himself s rare, Warships Along Coast. Eleven foreign warships, other than those of the United States, are scat- tered along the Mexican coast, a cording to an official list made pu lic by the navy department today. They have a total of 66,156 tons and a personnel of 4,498 men. Four of these vessels are stationed at Vera Cruz. They are the French cruiser Des Cartes, with 3,956 tons, 378 men and four 6.4 inch guns and ten 3.9 guns on her main battery; the English armored crulser Essex of 9,800 tons, 666 men and fourteen six inch guns; the Spanish cruiser Carlos V, of 9,900 tons, 590 men and two 11.2 inch guns, eight 5.5 inch guns and four 4.1 inch guns, and the German cruiser Dres- in UNION THIS EMBLEM LAUNDRY TALKS, NO. 1¥ S N R YOUR GUARANTEE Learn to Know It Well It represents the last word in Quality Laundry Work, done by modern, up-to-date methods in the larg- est and best equipped Laundry in this vicinity.

Sister Makes Comiment. Boston, April 22.—“T hope his death will not only count for the ser- vice of his country but that it will be a message to Americans to respect the men more who are ready to fight and dle for them,” said Miss Minnie Haggerty, after she had been in- formed of the death of her brother, Corporal Daniel A, Haggerty at Vera Cruz yesterday. Haggerty’s home was in Cambridge, where his father, three sisters and three brothers reside. He was a na- tive of North Brookfield, Before his enlistment in the marine ¢orps he had worked as a street car conductor and as a machinist. E. A Gisburne of Quincy, the elec- triclan who was seriously wounded in the fighting at the Mexican port, was born in Providence, R. I. His parents are dead. Other Battleships Ready. The detail of marines ordered yes- terday to leave the navy yard here | for Philadelphia, to join the regiment being mobilized there, prepared to start this afternoon. The battleships Virginia, Georgia and Nebraska are expected tn sail for Mexico tomorrow. | Work was rushed today to put into commission the gunboat Castine, which has becn ordered on Mexican duty. Mother Becomes Hysterical. New York, April 22.—Mrs. Louis Mackey, mother of John F. Schu- macher, who was among the killed of the Americans yesterday at Vera Cruz, refused last night to believe that her son was dead and awaited officlal confirmation from Washington. When confirmation came she became hyster- ical. Charles Donaldson Cameron, one of the wounded, also lives in Brooklyn. He is seventeen years old. Making Burial Arrangements. The navy department is arranging | to bring to the United States the bodies of sallors or marines killed at Vera Cruz, and either forward them to relatives or make final interment in a national cemetery, as the families desire.

If Tongue Is Coated, or If Cross, Fev- erish, Constipated Give “California Syrup of Figs.” Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with ‘waste. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, nas stomachache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give a teaspoonful of ‘“California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again. Children love this harmless “fruit laxative,” and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because It never falls to make their little “insides” clean and sweet, Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomor- row, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “Cal- ifornia Syrup of Figs,” which has di- rections for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Remember there are counterfeits sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the “California Fig Syrup Company.” Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. sour | of the dead will be borne United States. Snipers Open Fire. Vera Cruz, April 22.—Landing parties from the vessels of the Amer- ican fleet under Rear Admiral Badger were greeted with quite general firing from snipers when the boats ap- proached the shore at half past four o'clock this morning. The Mexican sharpshooters occu- pied the roofs of houses in the cen- tral part of the city and were able to fire down upon the American marines and bluejackets as they neared the land from the vessels lying off shore Attack Is Resumed. Consul _Canada's latest dispatch, which was filed at Vera Cruz eariy today follows: “Firing commenced 4t daybreak. Ships now shelling south- ern part of city. Large force landed from Admiral Badger's fleet before daylight. Copies of proclamation js- sued by rear admiral requesting at once the co-operation of the mayor and municipal authority in restoring or- der have been distributed, but have been unable as vet to get in commu- nication with these officials. Major Butler's force of marines from Tam- pico is now ashore. Expect the city will be quiet later in the morn- ing. istimates of Mexicans killed by the and wounded up to late last night ap< proximately 150. Battleships here, Florida, Utah, Arkansas, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, South Carolina, transport Prairie and Col« Her Orion. Transport Hancock with marines reported due. American forces advance 8 a. m. under guns of war vessels to take city.” 4 Serious fighting on the part of the Mexicans, early today, appeared to be concluded. During the night there was an. occasional shot from roofs, some times even within the American lines, and it was unsafe to traverse the streets. Late last night Rear Admiral Fletcher, through Con- sul W. W, Canada, sent a second mes- senger, a Mexican, to endeavor _to locate some one in command to tell him conditions and suggested that in the name of humanity he call off his men. The rear admiral is consider- ing the throwing of shells but is re- luctant to sacrifice life merely to clear the houses of the determined few. The Americans have not yet occu- pied the central part of the ecity and more fighting may be necessary be- fore the town is in their undisputed possession. Toll Not Calculated.
