VOL. LV.—NO. 284 THREATENS TO FIRE -Rebel Commander Endeavors to Force Federals to ON OIL TANKS Withdraw Their Gunboat at Tampico WOULD DESTROY SHIPPING AND BURN TOWN The Zapistas Ordered to Conduct More Vigorous Campaign of Destruction—Tour of Recent Battlefield Failed to Reveal Evidences of Carnage Described by Rebel Chief— Indications That More Federals Died by Execution Than in Battle—Infantry Regiment Ordered to El Paso to Pro- fect City—Other Regiments Expected Later. the city of Tampico and oil tanks along the banks of the river abov sent to the command at Tampico yesterday B So long as the garrison at Tampico is aided by the guns of the Bravo, which is anchored in the river just off ¥iscal pier, there appears to be litile chance for the rebels to capture and nold the city. But they might easily devastate the entire region by carrying out this, threat to shoot up the tanks and fire the oii ,estimated at 100,000 barrels. Shonld the oil in the tanks up river be fired, the floating flame would be carried into the heart of the city, most effectually removing the menace offered by the gunboat, destroy all shipping and probably set fire to a' part of the town. Attack on Tampico Probable. That the rebels will carry out their threat is regarded by some of the offi- cials here as by no means improbable, although foreigners owning property in the neighborhood of Tampico are | depending upon the promises of the rebels not to molest the wells or tanks. Advices from Tuxpam and Tampico are meagre because the Iines of com- munication are interrupted. Practical- ly the only method of communication is by wireless from the warships at Vera Crug, from*which point the in- formation thus obtained is relayed to the capital. There is a growing belief here that the campaign inaugurated by the rebels against Tuxpam is direct- ed against Tampico more than against the former port. It is suggested that the rebels have sought to attract at- tention to their approach upon Tux-~ pam so that the advance against Tampico might be overlooked and the government send troops away from Tampico. 800 Federais at Tampico. The central point of concentration of the rebel forces is at Tamiahua. a town at the head of the lake, about half way between the two ports. Rebels are also moving southward fro: the neighborhood of Victoria, in the staie of Tamaulipas, towards Tampico. At Tampico there are said to be about 300 rebels, supported by the gunboat Brayo. The war department has announced that General Joaquin Massas, Jr, who figured largely in the eampaign north of Monterey, would proceed at an early date from Vera Cruz with reinforce- ments for Tampico, but as yet he has not started. Campaign of Destruction. There is no prospect of the resump- tion of traffic over the main line of the National railwa The rebels who blew up a train recently at Carneros, th of Saliillo, also destroyed several bridges. The orders to the Zapistas men are sald to be to burn every hacienda they pass and inaugurate a campalgn of destruction more vigorous than ever. In the Mexican capital the organiza- tion representing the Buropean colo- nies, the members of which have band- ed - together for possible defense, is working - quietly and exveditiously. Provisions for Foreian Defenders. The foreign residents hope to agree upon some locality where they may: comcentrate if necessary and which will be regarded as a neutral zone.

Twentieth U. 8 Infantry Ordered to| Texas Border City. ‘Washington, Nov., 28.—The rout of the Mexico federals near Juarex by | the constitutionalist forces and a wire- | 1ass report from Rear Admiral Fletcher | indicating that conditions %in the oil s near Tuxpam were not so tening as previous had been re- ported. held the interest of official Washington teday in the Mexican sit- uation. ! The border situation, as a result of the vigorous operations near Juarez, and the possibility of another siege of | the border city, aroused the war de- partment to action to afford ample pro- | tection for El Paso and the northern | border territory, and late today orders were issued for the movement from Fort Douglas, Utah, to El Paso of the Twentleth United States infantry, which will be used to preserve order within the city limits. This arrangement will permit the‘ use of the two regiments of cuvu.\r,’ now at El Paso, Fort Bliss and env- ! irons teo guard the border in each di- A Discovered on South Carolina Proper- rection from the city. In addition to| these two regiments, the Fifteenth, just | arrived from northern posts, and the| Second, there is a battery of the Fifth artillery, while Brigadier General Hugh 1. S8ecott, with a squadron of the Twelfth cavalry, will go to Xl Paso as soon as he has composed the threat- | ened outbreak among the Navaje In- dians in New Mexieo. The war department, upon the re- quest of the Ameriean Red Cross, is- sued orders which permit the bringing ot wounded Mexican soldiers across the berder into Kl Paso, the permission applying to federal and constitutional- ist_soldiers alike. ; The Hed Cross sathorities: find it sasisr to cars for the wounded Mexi- ers in American territory than inte the international negotia- ti ‘hich would be necessary in or- der eross the boundary, and. it is also kmown that facilities for the care of: ounded in Juarez are entirely ate. 1t Suggested tonight that one im t resuit of the rebel victory 3:1 Juarez might be to bring into greater prominence the guestion of recognition by the Uniied States government _o!l Nov. 26-—“Remove the | party as the de facto government of ‘o or we shall fire on the ; northern Mexico. 4 | i ¥ | i | Now that General ‘arranza can claim that his party is in practical physical possession of all of the northern states of Mexico, it is expected that he will comply with the further requirements of international law Dby settling upon a permanent capital at Iermosillo or Magdalena and completing the organization of his provisional government. AFTERMATH OF BATTLE. Little Evidence of Carnage, But Indi- cations of Executions. El Paso, Texas, Nov. 26.—One hun- dred and eighty-four wounded men are in the. Juarez hospitals tonight as a result of the unsuccessful federal at- tack on Juarez. Pancho Villa, and 3,000 rebel troops are back in Juarez. South of Juarez or 18 or 20 miles there are no rebel soldiers. Villa says he has some far- ther south, and that the city is well guarded against a reappearance of the enemy. Villa captured a number of federal field pieces and a military train. He said yesterday that he captured 500 Toeday he brought less than uarez. He admits executing ome of them. Apparently the great- est number of dead as a result of the fighting are those who faced the firing squad and paid the penalty of support- ing the Huerta cause rather than that of Villa, Madero or Carranza. A trip over the battlefield today failed to re- veal but few dead bodies. Bodies With Hands Tied. Plenty of empty cartridge shells and exploded shrapnel were found on the fleld. Two newly made graves were seen mear Mesa, where Villa had his headquarters, and two bodies were loaded on a train at Mesa late today by rebel soldiers. Both of the bodies had the hands tied and each evidently died at the hands*pf the executioners. These were the only dead or evidences of dead seen on the field. Ample evidence of activity was ap- parent today in the recent locations of the two armies, but the fleld was no more _strewn nor littered than would have happened if any big encampment of men had been made there for two or three days. Rebel soldlers explain- ed that the federal dead had been zath- ered up and buried, and they pointed off beyond the hills. If there were many federal dead as a result of the battle, other than executions, the rebels car- ried them a great distance across the country to bury them. On some hills where federal cannon had been planted there were dead horses and many tracks where men, horses and cannon bhad wheeled about. There were also piles of discarded rifle shells in the trenches, but there were ne traces of freshly turned earth that wo indi- cate graves. In the territory where the rebel lines and fortifications .lay, the two newly made graves near Mesa and the two bodies were all that ap- peared to sight, There were other dead, for rebels with spades came in from remote sections of e fleld, but the death list is not heavy. he general teli that most of the| men who filled the graves were men who were shot after capture.

Nearly all of Villa's fighting men are quartered in Juarez tonight. Nobody remains on the battlefield. An occasion- al lame horse, released by the rebels because of its uselessness, nibbling at the scant, trampled vezetation, is the only sign of life at the point where ten thousand men fought yesterday and| Monday. Fighting at Long Range. | A trip over the battiefield today re- | vealed only a few bhodies or graves. ! It was found that the lines of battle | were nearly six miles apart and that| most of the fighting had been done at | long range. There was almost no evi- | dence of encounters between the lines | occupied between the rebels and the| federals, | { N EMERALD AS A WEDDING GIFT ty and Sent to Miss Wilson.
