Official announcement of the fact was made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. The seizure was made under order of Admiral Fletcher, to prevent the delivery to the Huerta forces of a consignment of 2,000,000 shells for use in the Mexican army. This shipmene of ammunition, the Administration had been informed, was due to reach Vera Cruz before noon. Rear Ad miral Fletcher was instructed to permit the ammunition to be landed, because the President does not favor any interference with foreign com merce at this time, but as soon as the shells reached Mexican territory, they were to be seized. This was the first active step against General Huerta by the United States. It develeped to-day that news of this large shipment of ammunition for President Huerta was the real reason for the haste displayed by the Administration in bringing the Mexi can issue to a head. President Wilson was Informed thmsmmrs ign agents of thé State Department last week that a German factory intended tb ship the shells to Mexico, | The military experts here stated} that if Huerta received this shipment he would be strengthened immensely, and it was decided, in order to pre vent as much bloodshed as possibie, it were befter to take steps to seize this consignment before it reached the Mexican capital, The shipment was allowed to land at Vera Cruz without opposition from Admiral Fletcher or the Amerimn} authorities, so as not to offend Ger many. As soon as the German cargo was on shore and had passed into the keeping of the Mexican Govern ment, however, the signal was given for the landing of marines and the occupation af Vera Cruz by American troops. Marines Secize Shells, The custom-house at Vera Cruz was seized and the consignment of ammunition held up indefinitely. A large force of American marines was detailed to guard the consignment, and any forcible attempt by President Huerta to recover the shells will be construed as an act of war, The Ad ministration hopes, however, that Huerta will offer no opposition to the seizure of the port of Vera Cruz, but the American fleet is prepared to land a force sufficient to defeat any Mexi can troops which are available at this time, The battleship Florida, now at Vera Cruz, has aboard a landing force of 400 men, while the transport Prai rie carries 800 marines. It is probable that the majority of these were landed in and near Vera Cruz as soon as word was received that the consign ment of ammunition had been sent ashore and had passed out of the keeping of the German officials. Cabinet Confers on Plan. | Secretary Daniels and Secretary Bryan conferred at the State Depart ment concerning the rights of the United States to seize the shells. The Secretaries took up the question of the international relations between this Government and Germany, and inquired especially as to whether the rights of the German Government in any way would be affected, Secretary Daniels said that addi tional orders had not been sent to the fleet and would not be until after the Cabinet meeting, It is supposed that the meeting will consider solely the plan to seize these munitions of war, Pacific War Fleet Ready to Sail._ SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.—Ths cruiser Maryland, with 300 marines, wiH sail !pr Mexico to-night or early ‘to-morrow, The cruiser South Da- Published Wukls I; THE GEORGIAN COMPANY 20 E.
