PRESIDENT MAY GRANT REQUEST Hexican Rebels Expected to Ask Recognition. SITUATION IS CHANGED Capture of Tampico A\dds to Enor- mous Territory Already Held by the Constituticnalists—Is Second Most Important Seaport of the Republic. 28 fo ok o E3 o+ E3 ES ey ADMIRAL MAYO TO ASSIST INJURED. Washington, May 15.—Ad- miral Mayo, at Tampico, was empowered by Secretary Dan- iels to enter the Panuco river and give aid to the wounded or assistance to the oil men. Mayo officially reported that Tampico appeared to be in complete control of the reb- els and that all federals had evacuated. ool e e e o ok e e e e o o ok kb bk 1 5.—The United 3 B T i e i e i i i e i e S R Washington, States may recognize the belligerency of the Mexican Constitutionalists. Formal demand that it do so may be made by General Carranza imme- May diately. With Tampico, the second most important seaport in Mexico, in his possession and Tuxpam’s fill an almost certainty. the success of the revolution is assured,-according to of ficials here. .Arms and ammunition are necessary, however. Without them the Constitutionalists cannot move against Mexico City and the south. Unless belligerency of the Constitu- tionalists is recognized the United States cannot permit importation- of | war munitions either from the: United States or through the port of Vera Cruz. 5 Tt is believed the president. would not be willing to accord such recogni- tion unless a plan can be! devised whereby the A-B-C mediation pro- posals can be made satisfactory to the Constitutionalists. fos The fall ‘'of Tampico overs}mdowed all else. It emphasized to officials the enormous territory already held by the | Carranzaists and the incr_easlng isola- tion: of Huerta. Vera Cruz, Tampico and Tuxpam furnished more than two- thirds of the entire income of the nation. The United States holds the former, the rebels the second and Tuxpam is cut off. Realization of this fact may' force Huerta’s hand. When news of the latest rebel victory filters into Mexico City many believe he will have to fight a revolution in the capital. The fall of Tampico means the im- mediate pushing of the campaign against Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. “WILL MEET IN MEXICO CITY” Villa’s Message to Gonzales, Victor at Tampico. Juarez, Mex., May 15.—"My con- gratulations to General Gonzales, We meet soon in Mexico City.” General Francisco Villa, gathering his troops for an assault on Saltillo, where 12,000 federals are encamped, sent the above brief telegram to Con- stitutionalist headquarters here in re- sponse_to a message Sent at midnight advising him of the rout of the Huer- ta forces at Tampico. A quick march en Mexico City is predicted here, . Military authorities predict one more “last stand” by -the Huertaists before! fighting begins at the doors of the national’ palace. They Dbelieve General Zaragoza, federal commander at Tampico, will' attempt to reach San Luis Potosi with his force and that the force of federals now at Sal- tillo will retire to. San Luis Potosi without seriously resisting Villa, and that the entire body of Huerta troops will make a desperate stand there. CHICAGO MARINE IS BURIED State and City Officials March in Funeral.
