Army Ready to Fight Ends Quiet After Alarm at Vera Cruz
Velaros May 3 After yesterday’s alarm all was quiet here today. American soldiers attended mass at a cathedral while crowds watched bullfights. Food supply remains stretched but not critical. Headquarters ordered soldiers and marines in Vera Cruz to remain in place as reinforcements and field guns were prepared for possible landing. No shots were officially fired though outposts exchanged reports of gunfire. Marine and infantry units relocated toward El Tejar, with artillery and machine gun detachments held in readiness amid a naturally strong, isolated post. New assignments include provost marshal and various department heads. Fr. M Robinson arrived to supervise railway mail post operations.
