The inevitable war has come with
Mexico, an many have foreseen for
some time It must come. The climax
was rasched last week when Federal
soldiers arrested snd threw In Jsll a
Shore party of United States sailors
Admiral Mayo demanded an apology
and aent the report of the occurrence
to headquarters at Washington. The
president backed up the admiral and
Issued an ultimatum to Huerta that
ho must salute the American flag In
the proper manner—twenty-one guns
—or the United States would take
fction. Huerta, with hla uaual arro
gance, would do nothing except tern
porlce, and waa given until 6 o'clock
Sanday to comply with the request
which he failed to do.
Both fleets, tho Atlsntlc and Pa
clffc, were ordered to Mexican wat
era at once.
On Tuesdsy, the bnll started. Word
oame to Washington thst a Oermsn
ship loaded with ammunition nnd
gans was on its wsy to Vera Crus
billed to the Mexican government. Or-
ders were sent to Admiral Fletcher
to atop them and seize the arms or
to tahe them at the customs bouse
before the Mexicans received them
The arms were never delivered to
the Mexicans.
Tuesday afternoon occurred tbe
tint real battle and bloodshed* four
marines being hilled snd sbout twen
ty woundsd in the engagement, while
the Msxlcans loot estimated two bun
dred dead, and many wounded.
The Marines and Blue jackets did
the land fighting, and took the cus-
toms house snd a large section of
the town of Vers Crus. The Ameri-
can troops lsnded for the purpose
of taking possession of the customs
bouse, with orders to fire only when
fired upon. There wns no opposition
to their landing, but as they marched
up from the shore, In true Mexican
style, the Mexicans began shooting
from cover. The fire waa returned
and a severe fight resulted for
short time. After tbe Americans
took the customs house which they
did to prsvent- Huerta obtaining pos-
session of the guns being shipped in.
they stopped firing. Mexicnn sharp
shooters kept up firing during tbe day;
but did no damage.
The Mexicans did not seem to have
enough of tbe trouble Tuesdsy but
continued their firing, so Wednesday
the guns of the bsttle ships were
turned on the town, and under heavy
bombardment from the warships, the
American marines were landed and
stormed the town, capturing it com-
pletely. It Is now under gusrd snd
only occasional clashes between tbe
soldiers. There were no casualitles
among the Americans st the second
assault. The fire from the big battle
ships, ths Chester and Prairie, cruia-
srs, demolished many buildings, with
their five Inch shells, snd about one
hundred and fifty Mexicans are sup-
possed to have been hilled, as many
by falMng buildings as by shot.
Carransa, the rebel general, ad-
dreesed a note to the President Wed-
nesday la which he asks thst the
re he withdrawn from Mexico
by the United States. While tho not
Is very pailte, it 1s only a forerunner
ot anothsr bunch of diplomatic infor-
matloa which will he that ths Mex-
ican rebels will join in fighting the
United Stutes. They do not care
near so much for the overthrow of
Huerta ass they do to get possession
of the presidency tbemsslvee.
Natiooal guardsmen are being held
la readlaeea all over the aouthweet
orders. The regulars la Taaas
are sxpectlag orders to hoard trans-
ports tor Tamplco or Vera Crus la
the aaar future, and It such happeas.
or U the rebels start somethlag .the
Natloaal Ouards will be placed along
the Taaas border ss patrola. If Car-
raasa aad Villa dsclde to fight, the
leaa troops will probably cross
the Rio Orande aad start a march
straight overlsud to Tamplco or Vsra
Cwa.
Huerta has requested the Mexican 1
ambassador at Washington to demand
his passports, snd slso that tbe Unit-1

THE NEW CHURCH.
Baptists Getting Rsady to BuHd Hand-
some Edifies.
The Baptists of Clsremore will soon
begin work on their new church edi-1
fice which is to be one of the finest
in this vicinity. The cost of the j
church building is to be $20,000.00,1
the interior furnishngs will cost an
additional 95,000. and a parsonage will
be erected at a coot of probsbly 92,-
500. Tbe church is to bo something
along the architectural lines of the
Carnegie library buildings. The locs*
tlon will be Where the present build-
ing stands on East Third street One
hundred snd fifty feet on the Third
street will be sold and the proceeds
added to the building' fund. ' This
will leave the church with one hun-
dred and fifty feet in their lot, which
is deemed ample.
The building committee left yester-
day morning to visit the First Bap-
tist church at Okmulgee, and first
Presbyterian church at Tulsa, to get
pointers on their new building, which
will probably be a modified form of
one of these buildings. The com-
mittee which went Is C. B. Llttlefleld,
