Mexico to Remove tlie (iarrison
to America.
Washington, Sept. 15.?Evaeua
tion of Vera Cruz was ordered todaj
bv Presideut Wilson.
American soldiers and marine
under General Kunston who liavi
held Mexico's principal seaport sine*
it was seized by the fleet April 1!
last will embark for home as soon a
transports can go after them am
shortly afterward all of the war flee
except a few light draft vessels wil
be withdrawn.
The evacuation order was an
uotmced at the White House toda
after a long cabinet meeting. It i
th" concluding chapter of the secom
armed conflict between the Unite*
States and Mexico, in which a scor
of Americans lost their lives, nearl
a hundred were wounded and uj
wards of MOO Mexicans were killed o
w ounded.
The reasons for the step were sc
forth in the following statenien
from the White House:
REASON FOR STEP.
" 1 lie troops have boon ordere
withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This a?
tion is taken itt view of tiio ontir
removal of the circumstances wiiic
wore thought to justify the occupy
Hon. The further presence of tli
troops is deemed unnecessary."
'Specifically, the American force
wore withdrawn at the urgent appes
of General Carranza. first chief o
the Constitutionalist army. Throng
Paul Puller, personal representativ
<of President Wilson in Mexico, Gen
oral Carranza set forth that th
presence of American troops, instea
of being a safeguard against furthe
revolution and peace with the Unite
States, constituted a constant menac
to friendly relations. The Mexica
chief contended?and he was sup
ported by Generals Villa and Ohrt
Ron?that the Mexican people woul
not understand the continued pres
once of American tr?ops on Mexicai
soil and would cherish resentment
no matter how well intentioned th
American government was.
Until today the Washington gov
ornment had not decided on an
fixed time for the withdrawal am
awaited negotiations with the ne\
government. At first the Presiden
believed it desirable to keep Amerl
can forces at Vera Cruz for salutar

that no election could he free with .
part of Mexican territory controllet
by American forces.

The I'resiilent discussed the sub
ject with his cahinet. some of whom
it is understood, did not favor tin
move. It finally was the consensu
of opinion that the main purpose ol
the American expedition to Verj
Cruz to punish the affront to th?
Mag at Tampico? hac neon achieved
another circumstance which influenced
the President's judgment was tlu
approaching general convention ol
military chiefs, October 1. when si
provisional president will he designated.
f.eneral C'arrnnza wished to
t?e able to turn over the power to si
successor with the country absolutely
at peace with its northern neighbor.
On the question of recognition, it
is known the President and his advisers
have reached no decision. The
conference on October 1 will designate
a provisional president, who wi'i
undoubtedly he recognized if all factions
accept him. The United States,
as well as Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, will consider the popular acceptance
of the provisional president
cnosen at mat conrcroncp as tlie fulfillment
of the protocols signet] at
the Niagara Falls mediation conference.
President Wilson is confident a
stable government soon will restore
IWexieo It) its normal condition.

Secretary Garrison today asked
Secret a ry Bryan to designate com )?<
tent Mexicans to take over the
Vera Cruz custom house and the city

subject was sent to the Carranza
government by Secretary Bryan but

troops at Vera Cruz, including 7.200
soldiers and marines, are expected to
begin their departure in about two
weeks. Orders were sent today to
