ÜNûnii mAHTIAL LAW Rear-Admiral Badger Orders Ame. ¡can Non-Combatants to Leave on Steamer. Vrrm Crus.—-Definite Instructions from K.-ur Ailmlrul Badger, command- •r In chief of the Atlantic fleet, to «11 American non combatant* to leava Vara Crux by the atcamar Mexico, have been posted at the conaulate and olhxr places, and Vara Crux la under martial law, HearAdmlrul Fletcher, cominandlna the American naval foriaa on abore having iaaued a pro­ clamation to thla effect. Admiral Fletcher determined there ehould be no more quibbling with the Mexican official« regarding forma of government. Until further notice, the realdenta will be Judged by military law. A large number of local Mexican offlclala have reported their trilling- neea to reeume their dutlea aa officer« under the aupervlalon of the Amert cana. With all ceremony, the firing of a aatuta and dress parade, the American flag waa ralaed Monday over the dlvl eion headquarter« of Hear Admiral Prank F Fletcher. Over the cuatom house the flag ha« been flying atnee the landing of the American force«, but there had been no ceremony Indl eating the formal occupation of Vera Crui. The more friendly attitude display- ed In the capital toward« foreigner« In the laat day or two waa In a meaa- tire explained when It waa learned from refuge«« that rebel aupporter« In Mexico City had taken atepa to change public opinion. They circulated handbllla calling upon the people to protect Americana nod denouncing Huerta aa the cauae of the landing of the American naval force« at Vera Crux and alao aa the author of falae and Inflammatory atatementa publtahed In Mexico City. GENERAL VILLA FRIENDLY Rebel Commander Anxious to Placate Hie American Friand*. Kl I’ aao, Tex.—The International political situation cleared greatly aa affecting the atatua of the rebel gov­ ernment and that of the United State« when Oeneral Frabciaco Villa, who ar­ rived at Juarea repeated bis declara­ tion that he would not be drawn Into a war with tha United State«, particu­ larly aa th/t would aerve only to draw the Huerta cheatnutn out of the fire. Villa aald that t'arrnnxa'« note had baen misunderstood and that the ftrat chief waa aa friendly aa he waa to the United States. BRYAN DECLARES NO AMERICANS ARE SLAIN Washington.— Following the an­ nouncement that Huerta haa granted permlnalon to all Americana to leave Mexico City, Secretary Bryan aald that, ao far a« authentic Information waa concerned, he knew of no Ameri­ can clttaen having been killed In the capital or -elaewhere In the Mexican republic within the laat few days. Through the efforts of the Uritlah em­ bassy here and the British legation In Mexico City, the impression that Mex­ icans were detained at Vera Crux had been removed. Advices received through the Brit­ ish embassy told of the completion of arrangements for the safe departure of Americana from Mexico City, while the French ambassador gave the state deportment a message he had receiv­ ed from the French legation stating that while there had been some anti- American manifestations In the Mexi­ can capital, order now prevailed. Refugees were reported safe at Tantpleo, Puerto Mexico and other east const points, with arrangements under way to get them to Qalveaton. Mexico City Fed on Weird "Nawa.” Vera Cruz.— The newspnpers of tha capital are reported to be publishing stories to the effect that the Ameri­ can forces at Vera Crux are slaughter­ ing women and children, and the pa­ pers call on Mexicans In Mexico City to retaliate in a similar manner. Other stories printed by the news­ papers say that France. Germany, Great Britain and Spain had declared war against the United States.
