VR A CRUZ IN POSSESSION OF UNITED STATED MARINES
City Surrendered After Shelling by Warships and Occupation
EYEWITNESS (F
BATTLE TELLS
OWN STORY
By CHARLES D. CROSSMAN,
Staff Correspondent.
VERA CRUYZ, April 22.—~Vera Cruz
has fallen. Four thousand American
bluejackets and marines took com
plete possession of the chief port of
Mexico this afternoon, following a
bombardment of the city.
At 8 a. m, Rear Admiral Fletcher
gave orders for a general advance
after the city had been shelled for
some time. Bluejackets and marines
from the battleships of the Atlantin
fleet went through the streets at dou
ble quick, taking possession of every
section.
A number of Mexicans had taken
refuge in the arsenal and police sta
tfon and poured a galling fire upon
th einvaders, but only one American
had been reported wounded up to
noon, when the capture was complete,
A three-inch gun from the Prairie
wae trained upon the arsenal and po-
Hee station and both were riddled.
Houses Searched for “Snipers”
Admiral Fletcher gave orders for a
house-to-house canvass hy marines
in order to locate hidden “snipers” or
sharpshooters,
IFor geveral hours Americans poured
a hot fire from rifles and rapid-fire
guns into all the housea from which
Mexicans were firing. The Americans
met stiff resistance near the Vera
C'ruz barracks, but the accurate and
machinelike fire of the jackies anil
marines soon put the enemy to flight,
The Mexican casualties are believed
to have heen heavy.
A censorship was established thie
afternoon on wireless press messages,
and dispatches are being scrutinized
clogely by the censor on the Pralrie,
This caused some delay.
Reinforcements were landed early
from the battleships Arkansas, Ver
mont, New Jersey. New Hampshire
and South Carolina, and brought the
army of occupation up to 4,000 men.
This force was commanded by Cap
tain William R. Rush, of the dread
nought Florida. ‘
Seized Whole City.
Immediately after the arrival of re.
inforcenients the United States forces
extended their operations and pegan
the seizure of 11l the sections of the
city not already dominated by the
bluejackets and marines.
The shelling of the city was ordered
to quiet the fire from Mexican sol
diers and irregulars, which had be
gun shortly after dayvbreak. Another
reason for the bombardment was the
refusal of the Mexican authoritles,
both military and civil to answer im
perative demnads for the surrender
of Vera Cruz without further armed
resigtance,
TU'p until an hour before daybreak
the city had been comparatively
quiet, except for scattering shots
Just at daybreak the warships got
their artillery into action and the big
z“n.- began hurling shells into the
s®uthern part of the city, where ac
tivity was reported among the Mexi
cans,
Great damage was done by the
bombardment. The southern part of
the city was shelled firat, after which
the bombardment was directed to the
western section.
Rear Admiral Badger sent n mes
senger to the Jefe Politleo asking for
the co-operation of the municipal au
thorities in keeping order.
Among the reinforcements were the
marines under Major Smedley But.
ler, who had been rushed down the
coast from Tampico,
The marines were dressed in khaki
uniforms and each man carried full
field equipment, including 1,000
rounds of ammunition'and rations.
Admiral Craddock, commander of
the British fleet. went ashore during
the morning and held a long confer
erce with British Consul Hutchinson,
When the firing in the streets be
came brigk Admiral Craddock re
turned to his shin
Badger's Fleet Arrives.
Rear Admiral Badger's duncolored
dreadnoughts of the Atlantic fleetar
rived here early to-day and anchored
off the harbor. It was still dark
when they arrived here, but the sa-
Jute from Admiral Fletcher's flagship,
the Florida, gave notice that they had
come
With the arrival of Admlra] Badg
er's ships and those from Tampico,
under command of Rear Admiral
Mayo, the American commander will
be able to land 15000 marines and
sailors
Intense sanxlelty was caused here
to-day by the failure of the third sec
tion of a special train bearing Amer
jcans from Mexico City to arrive.
This section carried 300 Americans,
mostiv women and children, who left
Mexico Cin esterday.
Mexicans Blow Up Bridge.
It 18 reported here that General
Maas has blown up the large bridge
on the Mexican Raliroad just outside
of Vera Cruz, and friends of the refu.-
gees fear that all railroad communi
cation has been cut off, and that the
flesing Americans will have lo«make
thelr way overland. This would prove
a perilous journey in view of the pres.
ent conditions,
Throughout the night the sentineis
paced back and forth, exercising the
utmost vigilance to prevent Mexican
guerrillas from getting close enough
to fire upon the American camp
Out in the harbor lights flashed
from the somber warships, and occa
sionally the thin rays of the search
lights flickered skyward 1n signals
between the ships
* Shortlv after davbreak the faint
notes of the bugle came over the still
water of the harbor and was caught
up by the trumpeters on shore, who
roused the marines from their first
niglhit's sgleep on Mexican sofil,
After spunrise the wireless appa
ratus upon the flageship of Admiral
Badger began to sputter it official
messages
I'he sight of the gigant!c men-of
war ranged acrogs the harbor and the
early morning sun flickering upon the
arms of the sturdy voung marines
brought a feeling of perfest sufety to
)'ho American refugees.
Capture of Port Unigue
The taking of Vera Crur will gn
down in American history am unique
for the eane and decisivenec: wiihy

Tuesday morning, the activity among
the sailors and marines oin the Utah,
Florida and transport Prairle indf
cated actipn. The Prairfe steamed
froam her position to a polnt opposi‘e
the custom house and about a quarter
of a mile from shore.
Her boats were lowered and the
marines could be seen clambering into
them with thelr guns clasped in their
hands. At the stroke of 12 the first
boats, with United States flags rip
pling at thelr stern, bumped the whart
and the men began climbing ashore
at double quick.
Boat after boat discharged its car
go with the preciston of clockwork,
and soon 300 men were upon Mexican
soil ready for .ction. In the mean
time boats from the Utah and Florida
were putting off, making thelr wuy
toward the shore under protection of
the firing guns on the warship.
'he boats, containing the bluefack
ots, landed at the custom house. In
the meantime formidable-looking ma
chine guns were being lowered over
the side of the Prairie, and soon ten
of them were stationed upon the land
ing stage. These were followed hy
severa! field pieces, or three-inch
guns, which constitute the light artil.
lery of battleships,
By early afternoon there were abont
1.000 men upon the shore front ani
the streets around the cable offlge «nd
the United States Consulate. They
were about equally divided betweon
jackles and marines,
Before the boats of the first land
ing party reached the shore, the Mex
ican clerks in the custom house had
taken alarm and were leaving their
esks, Word spread among the
troops in the Federal garrison that
the “gringoes’ were landing an army,’
and panic spread among them. The
Mexican officers seemed amazed at
the quickness of the Americans’ ac
tion, and were unable to comprehend
the situation.
Raise Flag Over Custom House.
With an officer at thejr head, de
tachments of marines were marched
into the custom house and took for
mal possession The Mexican flag
was lowered from the mast, and the
Stars and Stripes were soon rippling
in the wind
“In the name of the United States
Government. we hereby take posses
sion.” said the officer
The Mexicans made no resistance.
A similar scene was witnessed at
the cable office, the cable company
belng a Mexican Government insti
tution Then the troops were de
ployed and the streets about the
United States Consulate were seized
and policed
A number of Mexicans, whose cu
riogity had risen anbove their fears,
went to the water front, but were or
dered back
Up to this time no Mekican soldiers
had been seen, but now rifles began
to crack from the tops of bulldings
and church towers in the vicinity of
the American Consulate. A marine,
who had just raised his rifle to fire at
a sharpsghooter, fell with a bullet
through his body He was carried
into the cable office, where Lie dled an
hour later
An old church tower near the cable
ofMlce was a particular seurce of dan
sely end from the ramparts of this
holy edifice a handful of Mexican
civillans and soldiers were pouring
aown a sharp rifle fire.
A detachment of marines whirled a
three-inch gun into position, and En
sign Cresap aimed the first shot. It
tore into the aged masonry, scatter-
Ing stone and mortar. Several shots
followed, and there were no more rifle
shots from this quarter,
Ship’s Guns Help Landing.
At 1:30 o'clock the Utah sent a
landing party to a point near the
Mexican barracks. The guns of the
Prairie were flaming and under this
fire the boats made the shore without
any resistance from the Mexicans.
The fire was precautionary, but it
later proved unnecessary, as the Mex
ican soldiers had fled.
Admiral Fletcher flashed a signal to
the Prairie to discontinue its bom
bardment and the moment the guns
ceased to roar a detachment of ma
rines put off from one of thelr war
ships und soon marched through the
streets to the British Consulate. The
English Consul offered the protectiorn
of the union jack to any American
refugees who might be cut off from
the American Consulate by the battle
fire.,
At 2:30 o'vlock the Mexican fire had
become furious, and the Pralrie
dropped a few shells into the quar
ters where the Mexican flre was
heaviest, These ghots were so well
almed that they drove the Mexicans
from their improvised barricades.
Seize Postoffice and Terminals.
Admiral Rush, of the Florida, who
commanded the landing party, sent
detachments of men to seize the post
office and the railway terminals. The
American troops had to pass through
a scathing rifle fire from an unseen
enemy, but not a man flinched, ' With
these strategic polints of vantage In
the hands of the Americans, Captain
Rush deemed that he had the city in
complete control and refused to send
any of his forces into the heart of the
city and expose them to a needless
death-dealing fire. 3
At 3 o'clock Captain Hughes came
ashare. As he passed by a squad of
marines manning a three-inch gun
from the Florida, he stopped and
smiled pleasantly.
“Well, boys, are you having as
much fun as you expected?” he asked.
The marines cheered and one of
them shouted:
“You bet we are.”
Reports came to Captain Hughes
that the Mexican fire was increasing.
At 3:30 he gent a message to General
Maas, the Mexican commandant, say
ing that if the Mexicans were not
called off the American fleet would
bombard the city,
Enemy's Dead Unknown,
After 4 o'clock the Mexican fire
dled away, hut there were intermit
tent Lursts which caused great an
novance to the United States forces.
As night drew on, the Americans at
tempted to get some estimate of the
Mexican dead. Early reports stated
that between 160 and 200 Mexicans
had been killed and many were
wounded but it was believed that
later figures would fall below thia
estimate. The Lask of ascertaining
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
the extent of the Mexican dead was
made doubly difficult by the fact that
many of the enemy fled, carrying
bodies of their dead and wounded
with them,
Sailors who searched houses whicn
the Mexicans had used as improvised
fortresses, reported that many of the |
dead were without uniform This |
made it evident that the brunt of the
fighting on the Mexican side bhad
fallen upon clvilians
Just before sunset a party of ma
rines was sent to hold Second sireet,
which leads from the water front to
the. main plaza. The guns were
planted to sweep the plaza and the
troops were bivouacked in the street
during the night to prewvent Mexicans
from approaching the harbor front
along that route during the darkness.
General Maas Flees in Carriage.
General Maas, accompanied ’llfii
family, was reported to have fled from
Vera Cruz in a carriage at mid
afternoon when the irresistible ad
vance of the American tars was
swaeping all before it. Some of his
soldiers who remained behind took
advantage of the chaotlc situation to
commence looting. When the Amer!-
can officers found a number of stores
and residences which had been pil
laged, orders were given to the jack
fes and marines to shoot all looters
on sight. .
At the junction of Callee street and
Morelos and Main streets, the Ameri
cans came upon d disabled 75-milli
meter machine gun, from which the
Mexicans had directed a few volleys
at the approaching Americans.
Cramped behind the carriage was
found the dead body of a Mexican of
ficer, one of the few who remained on
the firing line. The Mexican officers
seemed to have been paralyzed by
fright, for they made no effort to di
rect an organized defense,
The dead bodies of Mexicans which |
were picked up in the streets were!
buried during the night. Members '!i
the medical staff of the [United Statesi
ships gave treatment to wounded
Mexicans.
A number of bodies were Laken‘
from houses along Montesinos street,
where marines under Major Reid |
formed the vanguard of the advance.
These men had been met bV a stiff
fire, but, flopping upon the dusty
street on their stomachs, they re
turned bullet for bullet.
Buildings in sections of the city
were torn by the shells from the five
inch guns of the Prairie. The steel
jacketed projectiles tore through tho
walle or ripped gape in the streets
During a part of the afternoon the
mand dunes back of the city had been
shelled, as lookouts on the C'hester re
ported that they thought Mexicanrs
werTe mounting long-range guns there
to fire upon the fleet. 5
Consul Canada officially reported to
his Government that he had informed
tseneral Maas that American troops
would be landed if the Federals did
not surrender the city. Three hours
before the Americans were landed
Consul ("anada called General Maas
upon the telephone and said to him:
“General, 1 am Instructed to in
form vou that United States forces
are about to shell the town, and I
summon yvou to surrender. T call upon
vou in the name of humanity not to
offer resistance or attempt to move
any railway traihe, and to assist in
keeping order.”
To this General Maas replied:
“It {8 Impossible for me to comply
with vour demand for surrender, as |
am acting under orders to the contra
rv. I desire to talk with you.”
Consul Canada refused to consent
to a parley,
General Maas indicated that he did
not believe United States troops real
1y would be landed, despite the de
cisive warning given him. It was
also evident that he belleved he could
secure delay.
After calling upon Maas to surren
der, (onsul Canada notified the Chief
of Police and the jefe politico that
he wag to rely upon them to assist in
keeping order.
As evidence of the unexpectedness
of the American attack a number of
Americans, including women, re
fused to leave their comfortable quar
ters In the Hotel Diligenclas, the
principal hostelry in the town, and
were caught in the line of fire.
Confederate Veteran

ington dispatches to have volunteered
for war, is a Confederate veteran,
residing at No. 207 Marietta street.
He said he communicated with Sen
ator Hoke Smith and the War De
partment at Washington and offered
to ralse volunteer companies of in
fantry and cavalry for service ({in
Mexico.
The veteran sald that although he
had reached the age of 70 years he
felt like a boy of 19, and would like
nothing better than to lead a contin
gent of volunteers against the Mexi
cans. He said he would have little
difficulty in raising fifteen companies
as he had already many applications.

Revival Succeeds in
Modern P '
odern Preaching,
Says Bishop Kilgo
To the use of straight-from-the
shoulder-preaching methods Bishop
John C. Kilgo attributes the success
of the revival meetings held nightly
at St. Paul’'s Methodist Church.
“People are tired of milk-and-water
religion,” said Bishop Kilgo. “They've
had too much of it. It's very nice,
and saves lots of bother and trouble
while wyou're listening to it, but the
effect doesn't last long. The milk
and-water religionists live in sin.
They never know the delight and
glory of perfect faith. There is only
one religion, and that is the religion
of Christ. It is not a religion of milk
and water, but a religion of blood.
\«‘hrist shed His blood for it on the
cross. You can not be His follower
unless you are willing to shed your
own to-day.”
The preaching of Dr. Plato Durham
is adding to the crowds. Dr. Durham
preached again last night, and the
