Attack of constitutionalists on the Ward liner Antilla under the Cuban flag, at Tampico, scarcely served to create a flutter in official circles. It was said Rear Admiral Mayo would hake no official note of the incident, although other foreign warships at the port might demand that the rebels refrain from interference with commerce., The constitutionalist of- ficers explained their attack by as- serting they proposed to prevent mer- chant vessels from delivering supplies to the federals at Tampico. ‘While the world’s attention was ed on the efforts to settle the an trouble by diplomacy, the army and navy went ahead with prep- arations for eventualities and marked progress was made in work among the refugees landed at United States Ports and those still remaining in Mexico.

Reports at the navy department early today told of continued reor- ganization of government at Vera Cruz, where the army, working in conjunction with a civil executive, has taken control. Tast reports from Rear Admiral Fletcher told of the re- lease of prisoners from ancient Cas- tillo De San Juan De Ulua. The old bastile is to be renovated and utilized as a naval arsenal. The routine of taking over the Huerta government’s official business in Washington was completed at the Spanish embassy today. Under sec- retaries and clerks who remained here after the departure of Mexican Charge Algara for Toronto have re- moved to the Spanish embassy. Disposition of mail for points in Mexico was taken up with the navy department by Rear Admiral Bad- ger, who said malil for Mexico City and towns outside Vera Cruz had been forwarded to Huerta's capital for dis- tribution. The temporary postmaster, Admiral Badger stated, ‘“has mail for northern Mexico, but it is impossible to send it as that portion of the country is under control of Carranza.” Future Being Considered. Vera. Cruz, May 1.—With the occu- pation of Vera Cruz yesterday by American soldiers under Brigadier General Funston an accomplished fact, and the return to their vessels in the harbor of the sailors and marines who took the port from the Mexicans, questions of the future are today beginning to engage the atten- tion of American refugees and Mexi- can business men. The future policy of the Washington administration is being debated with much interest. Americans and Mexicans alike lack anything in the nature of definite in- formation on this subject, and they are all trying to interpret, from the trend of events since the seizure, whether the American occupation of Vera Cruz is to be permanent or not. 11 once convinced that the American flag is to float over this city until tranquillity is restored throughout the republic, it is virtually certain that the Mexicans of Vera Cruz will give their heartiest support to the American civil government. Today they admit frankly that they are enjoying greater freedom from apprehension, more per- sonal liberty, and a larger measure of prosperity, owing to the influx of American money, than they have known in many years. Many even assert that they would cheerfully sub- scribe to any policy of the United States which would insure them a continuation of the present conditions -and the extension of these conditions to the rest of the republic.

Mexicans, however, take a pessimistie view and do not believe that anything short of complete American occupa- tion of Mexico would bring about these desired results. They point out that many factions are striving for power in various sections of the republic. The entire state of Morelos is absolute- 1y controlled by the followers of Za- pata while the state of Guerrero is under the jurisdiction of the Figueroa brothers; furthermore, northern Mexico, much of the western coast and isolated points elsewhere such as Tempico, are controlled or hemmed in by the supporters of Carranza and Villa, In the capital Provisional President Huerta is in the saddle, but strong factions favoring Carranza, Felix Diaz, or some other aspirant to the presidency, are intriguing against Huerta and each other. Zapata and the Figueroa brothers have been run- ning things in the country they control without regard to any claims of a central power. Such states are vir- tually independent principalities within the borders of the distracted republic. This statement of general conditions is made by Mexicans to support the idea that complete American occupa- tion is the only thing that will bring lasting peace. There also is an element of Mexi- cans and American refugees now in Vera Cruz who today their express I coubt that the mediation undertaken | by Argentina, Brazil and Chile, or islnlflar negotiations, will bring about a stable coalition of these warring factions in the republic resulting in the re-establishment of order. They are of the opinion that personal Jealousies would prevent the selection of any leader to represent them all, and they unhesitatingly declare that, in their opinion, ambition and not pa- triotism actuates a great majority of the Mexican factionists. Local Opinion Conflicting. It is apparent that local opinion of the future is conflicting. Another idea presented today by thoughtful Mexi- cans is that the only solution of the problem lies in a partlal occupation of Mexico by the United States and the establishment under American protec- tion of a government similar to the one formed in Nicaragua, which later would be succeeded by duly elected Mexican officials, the United States su- pervising these elections and vouching for their fairness. This idea is Te- ceiving considerable endorsement from a group of Mexican officials who have remained in the city. The American authorities, civil, naval and army, are making every effort to disseminate throughout the republic truthful pictures of the benev- olent rule already established in Vera Cruz. There is reason to believe also that Washington is quietly work- ing to this same end through mili- tary and civil agents sent here to talk things over with representative Mex- icans. These agents have been sc- lected for their knowledge of the Spanish language and their familiar- ity with Mexico and the Mexicans and they are said to be making every effort to make plain the disinterested motives of the Washington adminis- tration as well as its firm resolve that order be restored and a stable gov- ernment erected. Close study of the local situation leads to the belief that, by delaying any contemplated exten- sfon of military operations the Wash- ington government feels there is a probability that armed resistance may be eliminated to a measurable degree, and countless lives saved. ‘This is thought to be the purpose of the effort to scatter broadcast through the territory toward Mexico City, and send into the capital itself a full account, not only of the kindly treatment given Mexicans here, but also of the number, effectiveness and complete equipment of the army and navy forces now employed in Vera Cruz, and their readiness for further use if required. Huerta’s End Near. Mexican residents of Vera Cruz were free to express today their con- viction that the continuation in power of Provisional President Huerta is a matter of only weeks at most. With the sources of large revenue cut off here and on the western coast, and Tampico isolated and likely to fall into the hands of the constitutionalists any day, they believe that Huerta would welcome a development in the situation which would afford him an opportunity for escape without loss of dignity. This, however, is pure- ly speculation, as no Mexican here claims to know anything of Huerta's plans or hopes. If Huerta should abdicate, or be ousted from office by Carranza ard Villa, there is a strong belief in Vera Cruz that the United States probably would feel obliged to permit the constitutionalists to make every effort to reestablish a govern- ment. That the rebels are compe- tent to do this a majority of local Mex- icans do not believe and they are to- {day expressing the hope that tHe United States will continue in posses- ,slon of Vera Cruz; they fear that de- j parture now would mean ultimate re turn in order to complete the work by advancing on Mexico City. Divided Into Districts. Brigadier-General Frederick Funs- | ton has followed in general the scheme of garrisoning adopted by the navy, but instead of centering all provost work the city has been divided into districts, fn which each regimental commander will appoint his own pro- vost who will be responsible for minor affairs. A provost commission has been named to try the more serious cases. The members of this commission are Lieutenant-Colonel Taggart of the 28th Infantry; Captain Constant Cor- dier of the Fourth Infantry, and Cap- tain Erickson of the 19th Infantry. Charles H. Stewart, the American city treasurer, has obtained from For- mer Customs Collector Ascarraga, some 40,000 pesos belonging to the government, which, with 320,000 pesos in stamps already loc&ted, shows the Home Dressed Fowl.25¢ Roasting Chickens. .30c Fresh Shoulders. . .. .14¢ Fresh Pig Hocks. . . .15¢ Fresh Ham........ 20c Heavy Brisket. of * Corned Beef . . 1. ..16¢ -Salt Mackerel 1 Ib Liver and 1-2 1b Bacon ‘HOME DRESSED VEAL HOME DRESSED PORK SMALL STEWING FOWL, 22¢ Ib.
