Zerge Shipment of Arms Is} Now on Way to the Revo- lutionary Forces. WASHINGTON, April 22.—r was reported late to-day that the Army ea@ Navy Board had recommended the restoration ofthe embargo on arme at the Mexican border and that the matter had been taken up with Georetary Bryan, who now has: it under consideration. It was said that # large shipment of arma consigned to the Constitutionalists had been held up by the border patrol. The War Department will ask tho Department of Justice for instruc--: tions whether these munitions are to de permitted to crona the border for) possible use against American forces later. Officials positively refuse to aay whether the seizure +d been made, how largo a sh'pment it was, or to give any det’ tis whatever. “Huerta will not get the cargo, no matter what disposition is made of the German ship's consignment of arms~to the Mexican Government,” said Count von Hernstorff, the Ger- man bassador, following a bnlf hour's conference with Secretary of State Bryan and John Lind to-day, “My information says that the liner js etill in the outer harbor of Vera Crug, and that the captain te willing to do anything Admiral Fletcher re- uests, | think tho matter will be vettied amicably.” Positive information that vast quanti- ties of ammunition and probably guna are headed for Vera Cruz has been ro- cetved by the Navy Department. Au thorities declare this supply, vogethor{ Wi with that held up in the harbor at Vera Crus on a German vessel, will never reach Huerta. Although officials would not admit that lapanese ammunition and arms were eas for Salina Cruz on the Pacific coast of Mexico, it was apparent that ‘every precaution is being taken by the Navy Department against such a con- tingency. The armored cruiser Denver and the gunboat Annapolis were due at Selina Crus to-day. —__ FEDERALS LEAVING NUEVO LAREDO.

VERA CRUZ, April 22.—Vera Cruz, after a day and a night of resistance to the force landed from the American war vessels, gradually ceased its opposition and, urged by Rear-Admiral Fletcher, began return- ing to its normal civil government under its own local officials. This gradual ceasing of hostilities was brought about through a note sent by Consul William W. Canada to Roberto Diaz, the JefePolitico es hief Federal civilian official, the chief of police of the city and other off jals, calling upon them for their co-operation. The mortality on the Mexican side may reach between 100 and 200. This afternoon about 300 citizens of Vera Cruz had been arrested the marines for “snipers” after the real fighting ceased and all suspects were immediately ordered to be marched to the water front. — all of the arrests were made in the central portion of town, where the marines and bluejackets met the most serious resistance. The American ships renewed their bombardment at 8°A. M. 10-05 Within a half hour the centre of the city, which Col. Neville and Capt Rush hesitated to invade yesterday, because of danger to Americans in bs Hole! Delincias, had been taken, The marines and bluejackets advanced through the streets, using machine guns and rifles in dislodging sharpshooters and sweeping the thoroughfares of small squads of peons who resisted the advance. ei. The Mexicans are retiring rapidly before the steady advance of the marines. Shells from the fleet have wrecked many adobe houses, THB bombatdment was exceedingly neavy for considerable time, ‘The Mexican sharpshooters occupied the roofs of houses in the P tral part of the city and were able to fire down upon the American marines © The Chester and Prairie shelled the town with their five-inch guns, Under cover of their fire 3,000 marines from the entire fleet stormed A constant fire from rifles and machine guns was kept up as they advanced.

Non-combatants were safe in the throughout the fighting.
