Prepares to Fill Places of Re
signed Cabinet Officers.
Says He'll Hold Reins.
By THOS. P. COATES.
VERA CRUZ, May 28. —lnlense sur
prise was expressed at the German
consulate to-day over the reports that
the liner Ypiranga had landed muni
tions of war for President Huerta at
Puerto Mexico. There had been a
“gentleman’s agreement” between the
American officials, the German Con
sul and the Ypiranga's captain, that
the vessel's war cargo should not be
landed.
The Consul was astounded when he
visited the customn house to get con
firmation of the news that the Ba
varia had landed her cargo at Puerto
Mexico, and was told that similar
action had been taken by the Ypi
ranga.
“Degpite vour agreement,” he was
told, “the Ypiranga has discharged
her consignment of arms.”
“On my word of honor as a Ger
man gentleman,” he declared, “T was
ignorant of any intention (o discharge
the cargo. I never dreamed that the
agreement had not been lived up to.”
It is believed that the landing of
the war supplies for Huerta was what
caused him to abandon his plan to
flee after preparations had been
made. With the newly arrived muni
tions of war he will be able to
strengthen his position materially.
A corps of engineers and laborers
started work to-day restoring the
railroad at the gap between Vera
Cruz and Mexico City. This will re
establish direct rail communication
with the capital again.
It is reported here that General
Carranza will soon take up his quar
ters at Tampico and make that city
the base of his operations against
Mexico City.
Huerta Gets Arms,
Plans New Fight.
MEXICO CITY, May 28.—Minister
of Mar Blanquet announced to-day
that the Mexican Government ex
pected to receive a large consignment
of arms and ammunition within a
short time. He stated that this would
be used to equip the “militia for na
tional defense” organized by President
Huerta. It is believed here that these
munitions of war are coming from
Puerto Mexico.
The German ship Ypiranga yester
day landed at Puerto Mexico the con
signment of arms and ammunition
for Huerta which were consigned to
Vera Cruz, and to prevent the land
ing of which at that port Vera Cruz
was seized by the United States sev
eral weeks ago. The Bavaria also
ts reported to have landed a war
cargo several days ago. The Bava
ria is now at Vera Cruz and held
by General Funston for discharging
Ler cargo at another port than that
to which it was consigned in vio-
Jation of law,
There was a long Cabinet meeting
at the National Palace last night
President Huerta announced at that
time that he had not yet filled the
Cabinet piaces left vacant by resig
nations, but stated that he expected
to replace the retiring Ministers
within a short time.
At present there is no indication
that President Huerta intends to
leave the country. He declares that
he intends to stay here.
Bryan Unpatriotic?
Not if He Can Help It
WASHINGTON, June I.—When
someone Saturday accused Secretary
of State Bryan of not being patrietic
because his residence was unadorned
by the Stars and Stripes, it being
Memorial Day, the Secretary tele
phoned the chief clerk of the State
Department to procure for him two
large flags.
The storeroom of the State Depart
ment was locked and the watchman
had gone to Arlington; so the chief
elerk took maitters into his own
hands, broke open the door of the
storeroodn, ob‘ained the flags and sent
them by special messenger to Bryan.
