The Consul at Vera Cruz (Foster) to the Secretary of State
Vera Cruz, April 26,
1920—1 p.m.
[Received 5:45 p.m.]
[Received 5:45 p.m.]
I am informed that rebels are planning to attack Vera Cruz within a few days. Local garrison has been strengthened to 600 men whose loyalty is doubtful. In the event of a revolt the only possible preventive against looting would be the presence of American war ships.
