Huerta Not Recognized. "The Mexican nation, the real people of | Mexico, have not recognized as Its execu te a man who had pretended to launefcj a blemish on its national integrity, drowning in blood Its free institutions. Consequently the acts of the usurper) Huerta and his accomplices do not sig mlfy legitimate acts of sovereignty. They do not constitute real public functions of interior and exterior relations, and much less do they represent the sentiments of the Mexican nation, which are of confra ternity toward the American People "The lack, of representative character of Gen. Vlctoriano Huerta, as concern ing the relations of Mexico with the "United States, as well as with the Argen tine Republic. Chile. Brazil and Cuba, has been clearly established with a justifiable attitude of these nations, who have re fused to recognize the usurper, in this way lending a valuable moral support to the noble cause I represent. Cannot Give Satisfaction. "The usurped title of president of the republic cannot invest Gen. Huerta with the right to receive a demand for repara tion oh the part of the government of the United States. Neither a right to grant a satisfaction as due. "Victoriano Huerta is a culprit who is amenable to the constitutionalist govern ment. today the only one, under the ab normal circumstances of our nation, which represents national sovereignty in accord with article 128 of the political constitution of Mexico. The illegal aCts committed by the usurper Huerta and his partisans, and those which they may vet perpetrate, be they of an interna tional character, as those which recently occurred at the port of Tampico, or of a domestic character, shall be tried and punished with inflexibility and prompt ness by the tribunals of the constltu- | tionalist government. The Individual acts of Vlctoriano Huerta never will be sufficient to involve the Mexican nation in a disastrous war With the United States, because there is Tio solidarity whatsoever between the so called government of Vlctoriano Huerta and the Mexican nation, for the funda mental reasons that he !s not the legiti mate organ of our national sovereignty. Invasion Means War. Moreover, the invasion of our leiil- \ tory and the permanency of your foroes | In the port of Vera Crum are a violation of the rights that constitute our existence as a free and independent sovereignty :?nd will drag us into an unequal war with dignity, but which until today we desired to avoid. "In the face of the real situation | through which Mexico traverses, weak though she may be. more so than ever, after three years of bloody strife, and , compared with the formidable power of | the American nation, we consider the acts committed at Vera ^ruz as acts highlv offensive to the dignity and Inde- | pendence of Mexico and contrary to your ] reiterated declarations of not desiring to sever the state of peace and friendship with the Mexican nation, and in contVa dktion. also, with the resolution of the 'American Senate which has Just declared i that the United States does not assume against the Mexican people, neither do they propose to levy war against it.

He has been care ful to distinguish between Gen. Huerta and hi. supporters on the one side and the rest of the Mexican people on the other side. "He has reiterated his friendship for the Mexican people and his desire to see them establish for themselves a consti tutional government. The taking of the customhouse at Vera Cruz was made necessary by Huerta's refusal to make proper reparation for the arrest cf the American sailors. The constitutionalists are reported in the newspapers as stand ing aloof from the controversy.

A lieutenant who was in com mand of the Mexicans was led out a prisoner, and although he had fought desperately he trembled and turned pale in the belief that he would be sum marily executed. None of the American women was in any manner mistreated by the Mexicans during the occupation of the building. A few of the women aided the Mexicans and assisted in caring for the wounded. In the fighting in the center of the in ner harbor San Juan de Uloa an ancient stone fortress flew the Mexican flag throughout the attack. The commandant and sixty armed men and 300 workmen in the navy yard peered from the em brasures at the Prairie, lying .V)0 yards away, and the other ships shelling the naval academy. In the dungeon remain ed 500 prisoners, the echoes of the guns on the ships reaching them through a sixteen-foot stone wall. Capt. Stlckney of the Prairie went through the fortress several days ago and found some heavy guns, five tor pedoes and a torpedo tube in a corru gated Iron shed outside the wall of the fortress. When the landing of the Ameri cans was ordered, Capt. Stlckney sent word to the commandant of San Juan de Ulloa that he would blow -him to pieces with the Prairie's guns If he opened fire against the Americans, but that other wise he would not be disturbed. The commandant replied that he would an swer with his cannons if fired on, but that he would not commence hostilities. When the engagement ashore began the commandant hoisted a brilliant new Mex ican flag, which flew all day long. Spanish Commander Defiant. Rear Admiral Fletcher instructed the Spanish cruiser Carlos V to go outside the breakwater In order to give the Prairie room to fire her guns. The Span ish commander refused, saying that he dared not maneuver his boat in so small a space at night. He also declared that he needed to take on a supply of fresh water. Admiral Fletcher Insisted yester day that his order be carried out and the Carlos V moved outside just before the attack on the center of the city began. When Admiral Fletcher directed, that battalions- of bluejackets and marines be landed from Rear Admiral Badger's ships before dawn and drawn up in the plaza before the railroad station and then pro ceed to take the entire town, he acted only after warning and after fifteen shells from the Prairie's three-inch guns had been thrown into the steel frame work of the new market, which faces Market place. A persistent but scattered fire came from rifles in the market during all the early hours of the morning and | Admiral Badger's men landed to the whining accompaniment of rifle bullets aver their heads. When the rush started Admiral Badger's bluejackets, clad in orange-col ored clothing, made for them on the trip down by dyeing white uniforms with iron rust, moved in close-column forma tion up the water front past the market and across the front of the naval college, a long, three-story structure built of adobe stone and having a tiled roof. The column moved steadily forward until the first company had passed beyond the col lege and the remainder were covering the whole front close against the wall. Suddenly a spatter of ritie firing broke out. Flashes from the rifles were plainly visible in tho upper windows of the col lege and along the roof. The jackies stood their ground pluckily. Some of them huddled close to the wall to avoid the rain of steel-jacketed bullets from above, while some dashed across a small open space directly in front of the. build ing. These bluejackets dropped oh their stomachs and lifted their rifles high in order to get a range on the windows above. Finally the American officers hustled their men either forward or back ward until they were In shelter of nearby , buildings. Aim of Gunners Deadly. The jackies in front held their places, however, and the Prairie sent shell after shell from her three-inch battery into the windows of the college, huge columns of I red dust leaping upward as each shot ! went home. The Chester also Joined in I and with a roar her six-inch shells tore great gaps in the roof of the college. Far to the right in the harbor the mine ship' San Francisco opened with her five inch guns, and, taking the front of the college, shot out window by window, planting the shells with tho precision of target practice. After fifteen minutes of firing the Prairie and the San Francisco ceased and the column of Jackies formed again and pushed sturdily ahead, deploying around I the front of the college. A few shots1 were directed at them, but none came from the college. The Chester continued hurling shells into any building where snipers lurked and also far out into the suburbs. The jackies went steadily ahead without faltering, spreading out through the waterfront section, seizing the highest building* and organizing squads of guards at street intersections. The fire along the front gradually! slackened and then died out, but the Chester sent a few shots out into the hills before ceasing. The Hancock, with 700 marines on board, and the battleship Michigan arrived too late to participate in the fighting. The wounded and the prisoners were taken aboard the Prairie until the ar rival of the Solace about noon yesterday, j Immediately after the firing had virtual ly ended. Rear Admiral Badger boarded the PraJrle to confer with Hear Admiral Fletcher as to the best means for secur ing tl\? town against attack, for caring for the dead, injured and refugees, and for setting in motion the work of con ducting the city in an orderly manner. List of Dead and Wounded in Battle of Second Day at the Port of Vera Cruz Twelve Americans have been killed and fifty wounded in the occupation of Vera Cruz. This was announced In a dispatch from Rear Admiral Badger, made public by the Navy Department at 2:45 a.ra. Eight men were killed and thirty wounded in yesterday's fighting In the Mexican city.

Tex., April 2,1.?Four Mexi can troop trains and one train loaded with horses and ammunition are said to have left Chihuahua last night for Juarez, across the river from here. The forces, it is said, are commanded by Gen. Toribio Ortega. The news was telephon ed to Col. Hatfield, commanding at Fort Bliss, and he has sent the information with a request for instructions to the War Department. At Juarez every effort was made to conceal news of the trains. The bare facts as given, however, were coaxed i from an apparently authentic source. I Col. Hatlield received orders to restore ! the embargo on arms and ammunition consigned to Mexico, and it was put into effect by Zach L. Cobb, collector of the port. NEW VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT. Gen.

HUERTA'S ARMY BAND OF HIRED ASSASSINS John land Says Best Troops Died at Torreon?For Blockade of Ports. That Huerta's remnant army is merely a band of "assassins," that the flower of his army died at Torreon under Gen. Ve la sco, that "On to Mexico!" Is not the battle cry of the United States forces, but "Blockade all the ports!" and that Tampico will be cleaned up next?Is the opinion expressed last night by John Lind. Mr. lind was the special representative of the President In Mexico for more than eight months- It Is believed in official circles that the advice he gave to the President and the cabinet on his return recently led to the vigorous methods in dealing with Mexico that have replaced the "watchful waiting" policy. Mr. Lind is in constant conference with administra tion leaders, and is believed to know bet- j ter than any other man in the United States what this government is planning! in the Mexican crisis. Not Present Intention. "Now that Rear Admiral Badger has arrived in Mexican waters with his fleet." he was asked, ''will it not be advisable under the circumstances to rush the army from Galveston to Vera Cruz and proceed directly to Mexico City and take posses sion before Huerta can arrange for a stubborn defense of his capital?'' "No. that is not the present inten tion," replied Mr. Und. "As we are now In possession of Vera Cruz, the next step will be to clean up Tampico. Then we should retain possession of both cities and also blockade all the remain ing ports in Mexico. I do not anticipate any more fighting, as Huerta will have all he can do to contend with the ad vancing forces of the victorious revolu tionists." "Has Huerta an effective army?" "No, the pick of his forces were sent north, where they were annihilated in and around Torreon. All he has left is some bands of hired assassins." "What is your opinion of the skirmish at Vera Cruz yesterday?" Events as He Expected. "It turned out just as I anticipated. When called upon to surrender Gen. Maas retreated from Vera Crux with the bulk of his command. Those left behind were disorganized and consisted mainly of roughnecks and assassins. These men concealed themselves on the flat roofs of the buildings and picked off our men from concealment. All the buildings have flat roofs and copings, the latter affording considerable pro tection to the Mexicans. "We have no quarrel with the revolu tionists; therefore while Huerta is blocked away from supplies the revolu tionists will push forward steadily and irresistibly. The end should not be far off so far as Huerta Is concerned." gora SING SHOP AFIBE. Loss in Structure Near Prison Not Heavy?Prisoners Strike. OSS1NTNO, N.
