May l.-The task of guarding tho cli .f Vera Crui i and tta environs waa taken ocr from tel navy today by Brigadier Ucnoral Fred-i erlck Funaton and th Kirtl. infantry brigade of the United Utf army. J Whllo martial law still continues In , force, tho actual municipal Kovornmtnt ! la being conducted by Robert J. Krrr, ! tho American civil goxernor, who has an-1 listed the aid or Mexican official to act under his superintendence and In. accord ance with Mexican laws. After a mornlne enlivened by tho marching of large bodies of Amer.can soldier, sallota and marines, the city resumed Its normal and somowliat sleepy dally life. This evenlnu. however, was made lively by outdoor dinner parties at cafes and restaurants, Hcconipanled by music and sometimes by dancing. The American troops began their dis embarkation from the transports at an early hour in the mornlne. Before noon all had marched to the post asslrned to them In parts of the city and Its outlying suburbs As the detachments swung Into the streets, their fines flylnc and with band playing martial airs, the natives appeared on their balconies or came out on the I side-walks and sated with undisguised . wonder at the solid ranks or brown clothed men. The people seemod to mar vel at the precision of the American noldltra' movements and the .sturdy ap pearance of tho men. Many -American civilians who had been taking their breakfast outdoor left their tables and watched with pr)do the pass ing of the newly arrived troops, shouting volley of 'hurrahs" and waving hats or handkerchiefs at them. Shortly after the lost of the troops had passed through the central streets of the city, Brigadier Ocncral Funaton, with several aides, drove by in a carriage and wa greeted with an outburst of applause, Calls Exehnntfrd. When the men had taken up their sta tions and the reports had been received by Brigadier General Funston. official calls were exchanged between Rear Ad miral Charles J, Badger, Clovernor Rob ert J. Kerr and Brigadier Ouneral Kun Bton. The first serious case to come before the provost marshal, Commander Betters of the Arkansas, Indicated the.. efficacy of the naval service. A thief was appre hended arid lodged in Jail within a tew hour of the crime of attempting black mail. This, was brought about by the prompt action of " Commander Sellers himself. During -,the night of April C7, a man giving thi name of J. R. Mulcahy, wh6 asserted ho' was an, American reporter, told the provost marshal that he had In formation of the whereaboutH of a quan tity of arms and ammunition in the hands of Mexicans. Mulcahy was given a tquad of thrie- armec men ana instructed to seize the arms tind ammunition. I.ed by Mulcahy thft men went lb A gambling house, where Jlulcihy In t Rpanlsli demanded money Instead o urine and represented himself as. a second captain of police, "The marines, not understanding the transaction, watched Mulcahy compel tho opening of safes, whleh proved to be empty, the cashier explaining that the funds had been turned over to his em ployer, l'edro Nan. The cashier was thereupon forced to conduct the party to the reatdence of Nau, from whom money was demanded. Nau handed over h,W) pesos, whleh Mul eshy carried to his hotel and dismissed thn marines. On the fnlltiwing day Nau complained to the provost marshal nnd dttcetivrs traced Mulcaliy, who was later arrested and placed. In Jail. The money was re turned to Nau. Mulcahy was sentenced to f.vo years at hard labor. This was the last act performed- by Commander Sellers as ptovust marshal. Order of Fletcher.
