Sharp Fighting

Vera Cruz, December 12.-Whle no Of
ficial reports from Rear Admiral Fletcher
off Tampico have been divulged, 1T is
known that sharp Fighting continues In
the outskirts of Tampico. The rebels oc-
cupy the left bank of the river and also
a commanding position northeast of the
city, on which is planted batteries of
artillery.
The rebels have captured the railroad
yards. all the cars and engines. Trains
have been dispatched westward with men
to repair the line and bring back rein
forcements for a general attack.
Apparently the rebels are in a position
of great advantage and there is a strong
probability that the garrison will be un-
able to Withstand q general attack 1t is
uncertain, however, when this attack will
be made. all depends upon the rapidity
with which the railroad is repaired.
Southwark from Tampico the rebels
hold no position. This is believed to be
due to their desire to give the federals
an opportunity to evacuate Tampico and
retreat to Tuxpan. General Fustavo
