NEW SRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1914. OUSE-CONCURS “WITH RESOLUTION OF SENATE i (Continued From Tenth Page.) terday’'s fighting could not be even Toughly calculated this morning, as Much of the firing by the American Tharines and bluejackets was at long range and no attempt was made dur- ing the night to approach the center Of the city, in which some deter- mined Mexicans still occupied posi- tions. In the distance bodies could be seen lying about the streets, but whether they were those of dead or wounded €ould not be ascertained. The efforts of Rear Admiral Fletch- er late last night to find some one . Who exercised command over the L Mexicans and to suggest that he call 0ff his men in the interests of human- ' ify were unsuccessful. The rear ad- ‘miral hesitated to open fire with shell the city, but the presence of rifle- nen hidden behind the copings of the flat roofed buildings, which made the use of artillery almost imperative un- 185s he decided to run the risk of sac- rificing the lives of more Americang. Your Scriously Hurt. Of the twenty-one bluejackets and marines who were wounded in yes- terday’s fighting, four are seriously hurt, according to the report of the surgeons. Rear Admirals Confer. At a conference on board the battle- ship Arkansas Rear Admirals Bad- ger and Fletcher decided this morning 1c complete the investment of Vera Cruz. Rear Admiral Badger organized a landing force composed of 2,700 marines and bluejackets and before day broke these had all been sent ashore. ,Rear Admiral Fletcher reportel that the Mexicans were firing from the | housetops and that the rifilemen were composed only of irregulars and armed citizens who continued sniping from behind shelters, Federal Troops Retreat. The regular Mexican federal troops fcrming the garrison of Vera Cruz are sald to have withdrawn to a dis- tance of fifteen or twenty miles in- lend. Rear Admiral Badger's fleet of five hattleships, the Arkansas, Vermont. Jew Jersey, New Hampshire anl South Carolina, are now outside the preakwater. They had increased their | speed to seventeen knots for the last eight hours of their trip on the re- ceipt of the report from Rear Admiral Fletcher as to conditions at Vera | Cruz. . In the final dash to Vera Cruz the gllier Orion and four tugs accom- \anying the fleet were outstripped but | arrive here today.

Left in Carrlage. @entral Gustavo Maas, the com- mander of the garrison of Vera Cruz left the city in a carriage at 12 o'clock noon yesterday, half an hour after the first beat load of American marines and bluejackets landed from the - warships.” {This was stated officidlly today; angd it was also declared that he had not been seen nor heard from since that hour. The commander’s family followed him in his retirement in an- other carriage. It is stated that that the Mexican troops forming the garrison at Vera Gruz were turned loose as soon as it was observed that the Americans were about te land and were told to act as they saw fit. Very few, if any, of their officers ‘remained with the Mexican soldiers, whose operations were carried on without any one to direct them- Liquors Are Secured. ‘Bome of the Mexican troops are re- ported to have obtained a consider- e amount of intoxicants as a result looting two stores, and some of them were in a condition dangerous alike to natives and foreigners who came With their range. Colonel Carrillo was one of the of- rs who remained with the Mexican oops. He was the commander of e 19th Battalion and was wounded ‘one arm early in the battle. The Mexican troops had with them h 75 millimetre gun which they placed position at the corner of Estebeu, Brales and Main streets. . Federal Garrison Evacuated.

Mexico City, April 15, Via Havana, April 22.—The following despatch was sent by mail to Havana in order to avoid the censorship established by General Huerta, which is more strict than at any time during recent revolutions: “Every telegraph wire, commercial, railroad or cable, is watched over by one of the most re- Hable and intelligent men in the gov- ernment telegraph service, who acts as censor.” These men frankly inform would- be senders ‘of despatches that it is not a question of the veracity of their messages nor whether they disclose question of suppressing all news not favorable to the government. Code Messages Prohibited, Code messages have been absolute- ly prohibited with the exception only of bank telegrams. The bankers of Mexico suc€eeded in having the embargo on these messages raised, but only after they had proved that the retention of the despatches was seriously embarrassing the financial department of the government, While Nelson O’Shaughnessy was acting as the messenger of the United States government to Provisional President Huerta in the endeavor to avert war between the two countries more than ninety-nine per cent of the Mexican residents in the federal capital went about their affairs in total ignorance of the crisis. News Cleverly Concealed. Huerta and his official family clev- erly concealed even from their inti- mate friends all knowledge of strained relations between Mexico and the United States, and the general public was even more in the dark, since the press, controlled by the government, published columns of victories gained by the federal armies in the north. Reports of federal suc- cesses said to have occurred at places far beyond the limits of the telegraph lines were printed broadcast. Oné despatch announced with great dis- play that Villa had been captured. The railroads ceased some time ago carrying freight to the north, as the limited supply of fuel oil on hand made it necessary to conserve it for the use of military trains. Apprehension Is Caused. Considerable apprehension has been aroused in the capltal by the movements of Emiliano Zapata, the rebel leader in the south, who, after gaining undisputed possession of the State of Guerrero with the exception of the port of Acapulco, has shown indications of moving northward. These southern rebels have recently gained considerably in numbers, and it is feared they may become formid- able encugh to venture an attack on the federal capital.

MANWARIN Wife of Connecticut Democratic Com- mitteecman Also Secures Cus- tody of Child. Hartford, April 22.—After a sud- den and abrupt hearing before Judge William L. Bennett in the superior court yesterday afternoon Mrs, May Cadwell Manwaring won an absolute divorte from Selden B. Manwaring, who is a member from Waterbury, Conn., of the democratic state central committee and at present manager of a restaurant in Grand Central station, New York. The quick action was by agreement between counsel, and the defendant’s attorney, Richard P. Freeman of New London, contested only for the cus- tody of the thirteen-year-old boy, Philip, who is a great favorite of Commodore Morton F. Plant of New London, who is supervising his edu- cation. The decree was granted on statutory grounds. § Judge Bennett awarded the custody of the boy to Mrs. Manwaring with permission for the lad’to visit his father at reasonable intervals. Man- waring was married fifteen years ago in Wethersfield, and is well known politically and as the manager of ‘the | Oswegatchie House, at the New Lon- don shore, LANDERS HONORED, Hartford, April 22—Members of the state senate of the session of 1913 held a reunion at the Hartford club this afternoon.

Landers of New Britain discharged his duties as president pro tem., were presented to him in en- grossed form today. RETURNED TO JAIL, Hartford, Conn., April —Mre. Bessie J. Wakefield, under sentence of death, whose appeal has heen granted by the supreme court was removed from the state prison in Wethersfield to New Haven county jail today, under the care of Deputy Sheriff McNerney .of New Haven. | of YALE STUDENTS BURN EFFIGY OF HUERTA Eii Cavairy Traop fo Bs Per6sted Ths Evening by Uzdergiaduatee. New Haven, April 22.—Last night at Yale before a serious appearing court martial, Huerta was burned at the stake. Yes, Huerta’s effigy was publicly burned by some Yale students last night in High street. However, before invading Mexico io gecure the body of the despot, an army had been collected. ,So a man stationed at the curb whistled the ost alluring patriotic tunes with his fife and soon the recruits came flock- ing in from all corners of the cam- pus. The recruiting process was simple; one had merely to salute the tflag and then en route for Mexico. Later in the evening to celebrute the opening of histilities some Sheff men set fire to a grass plot near Wall | street. Soon a chemical engine ap- peared upon the scene. As the fire- men would put the fire out at one end of the plot, the students would light it at another, and so it was fully a half hour before the firemen could leave. The attempts of some to fire the trecs met with the disfavor of the majority of those present. There was some parading last even- ing but the number of men in line did not at all compare with the crowd that turned out Sunday evening. Tt is certain that nearly all Lhe undergraduates will be on hand to- night when the plans for a Yale cav- alry troop will be perfected.
