A desperate and bloody battle is be-

tack the federals threw up embank-
ments along the shore.

lieved to be in Mazatlan, and there
are many American and foreign resi-
dents in the town.

sible, according to the reports, to
obtain more ammunition and supplies
and are in desperate straits.

pearing democratic, General Huerta
walked along the sidewalk from his
residence to the national palace, at

the richest families to sweep the
street and perform other mental
tasks, according to reports.

the federals for the possession Of the
seaport of Tampico is estimated at
1000, according to a telegram re-
ceived at the ministry of the interior
from the governor of the state OF
Tamaulipas.

tired. Federal cavalry pursued the
rebels for some distance, afterward
