Buccaneers of the Spanish Main Have Plundered and Burned, and Com mitted Other Atrocities Re peatedly In Ancient Port. New Orleans. Bloodshed Is not new In Vera Cruz. In fact, no elty on the continent has witnessed such devilish cruelty, such plundering, burning and ravishing, as has this place of the "True Cross." Since Cortes landed, in 1518, there has been a succession of strife and pestilence which can be paralleled in few cities in the world. Bepistoled buccaneers, in all their aw ful glory, have raided the port time aid again; It has been a point of vantage which has called forth the lustiest fighting in the many civil wars that have swept Mexico and it has always been selected as the landing point for foreign foes, writes Paul Norton in the New Orleans Times-Democrat-Picayune. " - !':.r-'- Whenever any of the numerous pi rates who preyed on the rich shipping of the Spanish main wanted to "singe the beard .of the king of Spain", they wo&5C attack Vera Crus. Lorenclllo.J a famous pirate of the early days, with 800 of his cutthroats, slipped by the sleeping cannoneers at the fort, surprised the town, killed thousands, outraged its women and stripped the city of its valuables. Hundreds of persons Vere driven into the cathe dral, men, women and children, black and white, and held prisoners. When the doors were opened four days later most of. the inmates were dead from suffocation. i As the gateway through which all the commerce with Spain was - con ducted, there always were great stores of valuable property on hand. This was true particularly Just before the sailing of the galleons, which usually traveled in fleets owing to the men ace of pirates. By learning of the schedule of the galleons the bucca neers generally dropped in when the supply of treasure was great Nicolas de Agriamonte, another highwayman of the deep, pillaged the town some years after the visit of Lorencillo. He enriched himself with $7,000,000 in silver awaiting transportation to Spain. By way - of appreciation he took prisoners 300 of the citizens of the town and marooned them on the Sacrifice islands, patches of sand not far from the coast, where they died of starvation. The anniversary of this calamity is observed by memorial services to this day. While the blood ot thousands has flowed through the streets of this ill fated port, the toll of war and violence Is : Insignificant in comparison with the deaths that have come from pesti lence. . Until 1860 the city was surrounded by a mighty wall. This great bulwark may have saved the city on a few oc casions from attack, but cutting out the healthful sea breeze made it a pest hole compared to which Guaya quil is a health resort ;; Yellow Jack tn all its terrors was never absent Smallpox, bubonio plague and the oth er offspring of the dirt and squalor of the middle ages were always pres ent. It was only in recent years that modern sewer and drainage systems were installed, which, with other sani tary , precautions, has changed the place from a death-dealing focus to a health resort . r ' v The harbor at Vera Cruz has little natural protection. : Before the build ing of the present breakwaters the northers which characterize the Mos quito coast dealt the struggling city almost as severe blows as did the pirates and the diseases.' Modern en gineering now protects the city and gives a limited area In which the shirs can anchor behind the seawalL Due to the hatred of the Spaniards, Vera Cruz once was ground to pon der.

Learning that he soon was to- be ordered to evacuate, the commander hauled his heavy guns to the city side of the fortress and fired into the town until all his am munition was expended. No building in the place was undamaged. - So great was the havoc that it was with difficulty that the lines of the streets were re-established. As there was no warning of such action, the inhabi tants were forced to flee to the sand dunes which surround the city, after the hall of solid shot had begun. Trails of blood led from the choked gates of the ill-starred town. In 1838 the French bombarded the place. In 1847 General Scott favored the Veracrusanos with a terrible bom bardment. In 1859 Benito Juarez was besieged in Vera Cruz by the troops of Max imilian. In 1861 the French fleet again took the place. , During the revolutionary period, which was almost continuous previous to the opening of the regime of Por flrio Diaz, this port and Its revenue always were objectives. During the Madero revolution, for the first time, a period of civil strife passed, during which Vera Crus was unmolested.

A remarkable story is told by the crew of the British freighter Rochelle. According to Stories by sev eral of the men, ' the delay was due principally to electric fishes, otherwise known as torpedo fishes, which were attracted by the steel plates of the vessel, and fastened themselves by hundreds against her bottom and sides. , ' . . ' The steamer was in the Gulf Stream, north of Cuba, when she began to slow down. The officers were unable to ex plain the change in the progress ot the craft Several sailors said they felt a tingling sensation about their feet and finger tips. The steamer was held back strangely. . Members of the crew became alarmed. A sailor looked over the side and says it was plastered with strange-looking fishes. They were two or three thick along the port side un der, water. The starboard side also was covered. '' . As the Rochelle moved north and got out of the warm waters of the stream the fishes dropped off and the vessel resumed her speed. - "r"ollow Your Hunch." Chicago.
