HELP 10 VERA CRUZ
WARSHIPS LOUISIANA AND NEW
HAMPSHIRE START SOUTHWARD.
MOVE A PRECAUTIONARY ONE
Serious Anti-Foreign Demonstration!
Lead Commander McNamee to Urge
that Additional Vessels Be Sent to
the Scene.
h'wtern Nempiptr Union News Bctilet
Washington, D. C. Two American
battleships, tho Loulfllana and tho Now
Hampshire, have sailed from Newport,
II. I., for Vera Cruz, in response to an
urgent request from Commander Mo
Numeo that his little fleet of gunboats
In Mexican waters be reinforced in
view of antlforelgn demonstrations at
Carranra's capital.
It is understood that President Wil
son himself ordered the warships sent,
although no official of tho government
would even admit that they had sailed.
Caro had been taken to point out that
any naval or military action at this
tlmo would be purely precautionary
to safeguard foreign interests and
could not bo construed as having any
connection with tho Pan-American
conference.
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.
