WILSON EXPECTS NO WAR
(Continued From First Pane.V
blockade had been declared, or a state
of war existed. The American Govern
ment holds that its seizure of the custom-house
is , in accord with interna
tional precedent as an act of reprisal.
No blockade has been declared and no
Interference with commerce will be at
tempted. The German vessel which carried
the big shipment of arms, which it was
feared might reach Huerta, has landed
its commercial cargo, but the captain
of the vessel, for reasons of his own,
has not put the ammunition ashore.
There has been no effort on the part of
the United States at Vera Cruz to pre
vent its landing. The accepted theory
here is that the ammunition was not
landed because of the certainty that
it would not reach the consignee if de
posited in the Vera Cruz custom-house.
American naval officers will not inter
fere with the interior shipment of the
cargoes, but will collect the customs
and hold them until reparation has
been made for all offenses.
- Consuls . Authorised, to Leave.
Mr. Bryan gave much attention to
arranging for the supervision of Amer
ican consulates In Mexico. He Issued
orders authorizing all American Con-J
suis, both In federal and constitution
alist territory, to withdraw from Mex
ico, but left it to their discretion when
to leave. The Secretary announced the

Tbe fact that Tamplco has a garri

000 in Vera Cruz. Is believed to have
had an Influence on receat move
ments of the United States forces.
France would look out for American
interests at points where the Brazilian
government had no consulates. Brazil
already has taken -charge of the Amer
ican embassy at Mexico City.
Consul-General Shanklin is still in
Mexico City, according to. the latest
word at the State Department, and has
been instructed to use his discretion
about leaving. It is believed he will
stay until the last American la cared
for, taking refuge finally, if necessary,
in some of the other foreign consulate.
Railroad to Be Seised.
It is -regarded as practically certain
that on the arrival of tne soldiers u t
Vera Cruz, a movement will be begun
10 iaae possession of 27 miles of the
railroad to the big bridge which is the
keystone of the railroad system be
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City. In
all about 4000 troops will reinforce
the 5000 and upwards of marines and
bluejackets.
The Navy Department was atraln a
center of intense interest. The occu
pation of Vera Cruz by the naval
forces was reported complete. The
total American killed thus far is 17
and 70 wounded; Mexican 126 dead and
195 wounded.
Secretary Daniels gave most of his
time to arranging for the departure
of American refugees. . Most of the
Americans at Puerto. Mexico, are
aboard a Hawaiian-American steam
ship anchored there, while the British
cruiser Berwick was ready to take on
more. I ne srunboat Nashville has
gone to relieve the congestion there.
Preparations for keeping the Army
and Navy supplied -with plenty of food
ana provisions were advanced by the
Secretary of the Navy.
We will send a ship to Vera Cruz
In. a day or two," he said, "which will
contain supplies for 60 days for our
forces. Another ship will follow in a
week. All ships now at Vera Cruz art
amply provisioned."
