Washington, June 14. Officers and men among the American bluejackets and marines who distinguished them selves by conspicuous bravery and heroism at Vera Cruz, were recognized and rewarded today by thej navy de partment. Every one of the 108 sin gled out for mention in Rear Admiral Fletcher's report of the occupation of the port, was given official! commen dation in a letter from Secretary Dan iels, bringing in most cases of med als, gratuities or promotions. ! ' Secretary Daniels announced the ac tion of the department in a letter tt Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher whc directed the operations at Vera Cruz expressing the department's: apprecia tion of "conspicuously able and cour ageous performance of duties entail ing, as they did as grave responsibili ties as could well be placed upon r naval commander." - j ! "In the department's opinion," wrote Mr. Daniels, "your performance of duty at the seizure of Vera Cruz equal ly entitles you to all the well merited praise and commendation that has been bestowed on the officers and men you were directing. j , j - "It is a pleasure that it was fully expected that no matter you, were call, ed on to do, it would be done with a spirit and a degree of excellence that could not be surpassed, and these ex pectations were met in every particu lar, under circumstances J requiring professional ability and skill and cour age' of the very highest" order. "Your part in the operations at Vera, Cruz is known throughout the length and breadth of the land and so nobly speaks for itself that the department finds it difficult to embody jin a letter any thing more that could add to the satisfaction of having so capably per formed, under extraordinary condi tions, a duty which not only upholds but adds to the best traditions the ser vice which you adorn. I "It is with pleasure that the depart ment places a copy of this letter on your already distinguished ) record." A general ordeT has been issued awarding a medal of honor and a gra tuity of $100 to eleven enlisted men for extraordinary heroism, j They also will be advanced to the next higher rating carrying increased pay.

FLETCHER TO BE HIGHLY HOIiOREO Dauntless Admiral to Atlantic Fleet Head reaches highest GOAL His Wonderful Display of Ability and Judgment la Taking and Govern, ing of Vera Cruz Has Lots To Do With Order. Washington, June 14. Command of the great Atlantic fleet, goal of every American officer's ambition, is to be the reward of Rear Admiral Frank F "Fletcher for his work in Mexican wa ters. ' ' " I ' . ! - f; ; ' Secretary Daniels announced to night that he will recommend Admirar Fletcher for commander-in-chief of the fleet, to succeed Rear Admiral Badger when the latter completes his tour o' service within the next few weeks. Some of the navy's higher j officers, outrank him, but the Secretary holds that the conspicuously masterful con duct of Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz entitles him to special recognition. Moreover, if Congress passes the pend ing bill creating the rank of vice ad miral Admiral Fletcher will be among the first to be advanced to that grade. A Navy Department statement to night said: ! -i "Since Admiral Fletcher took the Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters he has had the whole situation1 well in hand and his services there have added to his reputation j as one of the first men of the American navy. . "Admiral Fletcher will be promoted from the command of the first division of the Atlantic fleet. He has; been in Mexico since the presence of Ameri can ships in those waters was first called for and his command of the sit uation during the whole time he has been in charge has ben masterful. He proved himself not only a great ad. miral but a statesman and diplomat as well. His services commended them selves not only to .' the Secretary but the President. ' j "Both in the taking of Vera Cruz and in the administration of the city government afterward Admiral Fletch er showed himself a man of the high est abilities. President Wilson seized the opportunity when presenting dip lomas to the Annapolis graduates at their recent commencement,! to hold up Admiral Fletcher as a patera, say ing in part: I j " 'Is not that something to be proud of that you know how to use force like men of conscience and like gentlemen .serving your fellowman and not trying- to overcome? Like that gallan' gentleman who has so long borne the heat and perplexities and distresses'of the situation In Vera CruzAdmiral Fletcher. I mention him because his services there have been longer and much of the early perplexities fell upon him.' .:) "" : - . ' 'I have been in almost dally com munication with Admiral Fletcher. I know that he is a man with a touch of statesmanship about him and he has grown bigger in my eye each day as I have read his dispatches, for he has sought always to serve the thing he was trying to do in the temper that we all recognize and love to be lieve is typically American." The Secretary has no power to pro mote naval officers lor meritorious services. This can be done only by Congress. But the change in the com mand of the Atlantic fleet falling due about this time, the Secretary thought it well to make his recommendation to the President to promote Admirakl Fletcher. . r I ;' A WONDERFUL CAR.

Zacatecas Is making a desperate resistance to General Natera and although the Constitutionalists have captured Guadaloupe, Mercedes and Grilla, suburbs of the town, they were repulsed twice with heavy loss at the fortified hill of LaBuffa, which is one of the strongest edfenses of the town. ' j " General Natera reported to General Ccrranza tl'.at his charges at LaBuffa were met with i a withering artillery fire from the Federal defences which he said were extremely strong, but that his men were in fine condition and spirits and were not discouraged at the chek siven them ty the Fed eral stroniiold. He reported that the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy. He now is awaiting the arrival of rein forcements sent him from Torreon by General Villa which are being delayed by heavy rains and washouts, along the national railways.

He also declined to discuss the pucssibility of an armistice, declaring in diplo matic affairs as in military matters it was inadvisable that certain matters be made public. He asked to be excused from dis cussing these matters, saying he pre ferred to remain silent in regard to ttem rather than to have any state ment he might make given a possible rrisleading construction. General Carranza, hovever, seemed optimistic regarding the reception of the Constitutionalists representatives and the success of their missions. He reiterated that he previously had ac cepted the cood offices of the mediators in principle for the discussion of in ternational questions. About the military affairs of the Constitutionalists, General Carranza spoke more freely- He estimated the number of men under arms in the Con stitutionalists - army at . 100,000.

London, June 14. A bomb was ex ploded in St. Geoge's church, Hanover Square, tonight. Evidence tends to show the explosion was the work of suffragettes and coming so close on the bomb outrage in Westminister Ab bey, the desecration of this famous edifice has increased alarm as to how far the militants intend to go. Three pews and three stained win dows were damaged by the explosion The famous painting of "The Last Supper," by Sir James Thornhill which hangs over the altar, was not damaged, although the window above it was splintered. Firemen found a square tin box and several pieces of candle in the over thrown pew. A member of the congre gation said the pew was occupied at the evening service by a woman in a checked dress. On an envelope found in the church was written "A protest to the torture of women."
