With the occupation of Vera Cruz by American soldiers under Brigadier General Funston " nn , -accomplished facfy and the return to their vessels in tho .harbor; of the sailors and marines who took the port from the Mexicans, question.-! of the future to day are beginning to engage the attention of American refugees and Mexican business men. The future policy of the Washington adminis t ration is being debated with much interest.' Americans and " Mexicans alike lack anything in the nature of a de finite statement on this, subject and they all are trying to interpre, from the trend of events since the seizure, whether the American occupation of Vera Cruz is to be permanent. If once convinced that the American flag is to float over this, city until tranquility is restored throughout the republic, it is virtually certain that the Mexicans of Vera Cruz, will eive their hearty support to the American civil government. Today they admit frankly that they ore enjoying greater' freedom from apprehension, more jiersonal libertynd a larger measure of pros perity owing to the influx of Ameri can money than they have known in many years. Many even assert that they would (Cheerfully subscribe to any policy of the ':, United , States .as Carranza is concerned officialdom ' maintains complete! silence; He has declared that he will not stop fighting '' until he enters Mexico City.

General Car ranza telegraphed Secretary Bryan from Chihuahua tonight that the Constitutionalists would not enter uUo any formal agreement for the establishment of a neutral zone around the oil well? ot Tampico. He said, . however, that as far as his forces were concerned the oil com panies could resume operation- with out fear of molestation. s This action of the Constitutional ist chief was not unexpected as offi cials here, understood the creation of a neutral zone would handicap the operations ;of the rebels attacking Tampico. Nevertheless it was evident that failure to relieve all further an xiety. for the valuable oil properties was a -distinct disappointment, oir Cecil Spring-Rice the British, am bassador. has ursred strongly ' the neutral zone proposal. , . .'
