VERA CRUZ, May 11.—The rebels have taken Tampico, according to @ report received here early to-day, and the foreigners who had remained @t Tampico are seeking refuge on the ships in the harbor as fast as they @an be taken off. As soon as the report was received nere, ine British warship Essex, @agship of Vice-Admiral Cradock, began preparations to hurry to Tampico. ‘The falling of Tampico into the hands of the rebéls followed furious Sighting, it was said, in which the Federal losses were extremely heavy. | °° *"" "oer" But no details were given. Representatives here of the Cowdray oll interests have received news @f the fall of the Federal coast town, and it is understood further confirma- tion came in a wireless despatch picked up by one of the American battle Gpips in the harbor here. ; Efforts to obtain complete verification have been futile thus far, but Getaile are expected at any minute. WASHINGTON, May 11—Gen. Pablo Gonzales, with 6,000 revolution- tots and 12 field pieces, 200 machine guns and 2 siege guns, is waging o vicious and, what the Constitutional representatives here term, a final @ttack on the Federal forces at Tampico. * The Federals, numbering about 4,000 men, in command of Gen. Zar @&ora, are being alded in the defense of the city by the Federal gunboats Vera Crus, Zaragoza and Bravo, The last named vessel has fourteen siz- Lass rs and four four-inch field pieces. The gunboats aré at @ disad 9 they are moored to wharves at Tampico's water front and beta get all their guns into action at the same time Gen. Gonzales, one of Carranza’s most brilliant commanders, marched tq the relief of Gen. Luis Cabellero last Friday. He carried the twelve pieces of American made artillery and a large amount of ammunition with him. He joined forces with Gen. Cabellero Saturday and all that night was spent in placing their artillery and deploying their men. The fighting began at daybreak yesterday. BOAT SENT TO RESCUE REFUGEES, Admiral Badger reported that he had received word from the British cruiser Hermione that many refugees of all nationalities were fleeing from Tampico. He said he had despatched the steamer Mexico to Tampico with instructions to Admiral Mayo to take off all refugees, without reference to their nationality. A large number of women and children are reported to be among those who have fled. Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt also sent a message to Admiral yo to get all Americans out of Tampico at once, Gen, Aguilar and Gen. Torres Carrera are operating among the vast oll Oelds between Tuxpam and Tampico. Most of their work is that of affording photection to the wells and driving straggiing Federals away from the terrt- tory.

Envoys Investigate Seizure of Lighthouse WASHINGTON, May 11.—Huerta’s protest over the reported seizure of Labos Island—an important lighthouse point off the eastern coast of Mex- i¢o—by a landing party from United States torpedo boats was taken up to- @ay by the South American envoys who are seeking to pave the way to peace in the Southern republic. The reported occupation of the island— probably to assure uninterrupted operation of the lighthouse—first was re- vealed in @ telegram from Foreign Minister Rutz to the mediators. It @tated a party had been landed from the American torpedo boats, that the Mghtkeepers had been arrested, then released after they bad turned over e@pparatus for operation of the strategic beacon. The mediators were asked to make representations to the Washington Government relative to {ts truce with Huerta.

FUNSTON OPENS VERA CRUZ SCHOOLS; STOPS ALL GAMBLI VERA CRUZ, May 11.— Four schools opened here to-day with na- tive Instructors and the same machin- ery as before the occupation by the American troops, If the experiment of opening these four schools is suc- cessful General Funston plans to re- establish the entire school system of the city. This plan is in line with his policy to gradually restore all local institutions under Mexican law, The recent trouble caused by Am- ericans to venture into Mexicd City has resulted in tightening all outpost ines, The military authorities are determined not to be embarrassed be- cause of the safety of Americans ven- turing into dangerous territory and only those having urgent business will be permitted to pass from the elty into tho interior. No obstacle, however, will be placed in the way of Mexicans wishing to travel elther in or out of Vera Cruz, Natives awoke to the realization to-day that American occupation had added a new holiday to the long list | prevailing in Mexico, Many Amert- cans appeared yesterday wearing white boutonier: . and to-day natives learned that they had been observ- ing “Mother's Day” under edict by |Gen, Funston following President | Wilson's proclamati | Track Ki Estelle Barrett, two and a half y an killed by a truck in front of 1309 Union avenue, the Bronx, to-day, ‘The child was a daughter of Mr. and | Mrs. John rrett of Claremont Park- ‘ashington avenue. ‘Tho truck n by James McCabe of No. | 1103 Fox Matreet and was owned by George Bhamb, McCabe was not ar- rested.

After the funeral cortege of the dead heroes of Vera Cruz had passed there was a tremendous jam about the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge when the assembled throngs attempt- ed to break up. Thousands had crowded the atairways as points of vantage for viewing the procession and Park Row and the wagon en- trances to the bridge wi choked, When traffic moved again many women were swept from their feet. Elevated trains from all parte of Brooklyn and subway trains were disgorging great crowds, most of them women and children, All were pushed into the mans of struggling humanity. A rei ‘kable number of women with infants in their arms and trying to lead young children were in the crush, and when men bored their way through the jam there were cries of terror which brought scores of police to the ecene, ele eeineaeaetas Greene Absol 4 Jury. ‘The Grand Jury ‘inmninned atx charges | of homicide to-day which had been | brought against Daniel Rosle Herts, former east side dive keeper became hysterical on the wit- ness stand in the Joseph Waseerman- Bronx Home News libel suit trial in the Bronx Supreme Court to-day, and her lamentations led directly to a demand by Ernest Seelman, counsel for the defense, that a juror be with- drawn and @ mistrial entered on the records.
