Vera Cruz Itself Again.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 25, 1912:
Business Resumed as Though No Battle Had Been Fought.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.— Vera Cruz, according to dispatches received by the State and the Navy Departments, was as quiet to-day as if there had been no battle yesterday. Commander Hughes of the United States cruiser Des Moines telegraphed that the estimate of the total killed and wounded was 100. The medical officers of the Des Moines and other vessels in the port were assisting in the care of the wounded. The Americans at Vera Cruz fared better than they expected, meeting with no casualties and losing none of their property.
    The Mexican soldiers, Commander Hughes stated, faithfully guarded everything belonging to foreigners. The cable station was not touched, and, in fact, no buildings or property of any kind in the city were destroyed. The city is now held by the regulars, and there is no sign of any further attempt by the followers of Diaz to rally and fight for the continuation of the revolution.
    The port has been reopened to commerce, and merchant vessels are clearing as usual for New York and other places. The Federal officials have reopened the Custom House.
