Official reticence concerning the movements of the Louisiana and New Hampshire is due largely to a fear that news of their coming reaching Vera Cruz ahead of the ships might accentuate the already serious situa tion existing there. Commander McNamee reported that natives have made Incendiary speech es In tho streets of Vera Cruz against Americans and other foreigners and that there had been numerous endeav ors to incito an uprising, although no overt act had yet been committed.
