Additional Details:
The center of the Mexican oil region, where Americans have considerable interests, and on Dec. 10th, 1913, the armored cruisers "Chester" and "Wheeling" were outside the city, ready at a moment's notice from Rear Admiral Fletcher to get as close to the situation as their light draught would permit. The Customs House, which was one of the main points of attack planned by the rebels is the handsome two-storied building in left background.
