VERA CRUZ AWAITS 111 OF REFUGEE TRAIN FROM CAPITAL Foreigners in Coast Town Rejoice When News of Huerta's Action Is Received AVIATORS ARE GETTING BUSY Americans Eagerly Scan Horizon For Smoke From Army Transports By Associated Press Vera Cruz, April 27.—There was re joicing here to-day when word was received from the British minister, Sir Lionel Garden, in Mexico City, that General Huerta had agreed to permit another refugee train to leave the capital and that 250 foreigners, in cluding Americans, would arrive in Vera Cruz to-morrow. Previously the hopes of Americans here who had relatives and friends in the capital had been buoyed up by a statement given out in behalf of Ad miral Fletcher that he had information which led him to hope for the early arrival of more American refugees from Mexico City, for the better treat ment of all Americans there and pos sibly for their eventual release. Next in importance to these developments was the expected arrival of the bri gade of troops commanded by General Frederick Funston. The soldiers were expected before nightfall and the sailors on the line of battleships on the city front beyond the breakwater eagerly scanned the horizon for the smoke of the battleship Louisiana and the transports she was convoying. Ix'iiicnt Treatment Wins While Admiral Fletcher refused to give the nature of his reassuring in formation from Mexico City, it was intimated at headquarters that the consistent policy of lenient treatment accorded Mexicans in Vera Cruz had brought a change of heart in the capital. Because of the delicate nature of the negotiations and the number of lives which may depend upon them, it is considered probable here that no extension of the lines already estab lished by the Americans will be at tempted while the negotiations tire pending. This will become a matter for General Funston's decision, how ever, upon his landing, since Admiral Fletcher has already been advised that the general is to have supreme com mand ashore.
