Mexico City, Dec. 13.-Rear Admi
Fletcher Friday ordered the rebd n
and federals fighting at Tampico
cease firing, threatening to open up o
them with guns of the gunboat sWheeal
ing If his order was not obeyed. Both, :,
sides complied.
This information was contained IN
dispatch received last night by Sir
Lionel Garden, British minister, from
Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cra-
dock of the British cruiser Berwick,
which is lying off Tampico. -
The Federals hold the central part
of the town of Tampico and the water
front. Rear Admiral Fletcher has or
dered foreigners to take refuge on
board ships or congregate on the wa
ter front where they will be under the
protection of his guns.
How mFny rebels are engaged in the
attack on Tampico is not known, but
it is estimated that their number is
at least twice that of the Federals and
their operations indicate that they ex-
pect moresmen from Victoria.
The ebels, who are in possession OF
the railroad yards and shops and large
stores of material and equipment ac
tually have detached from their lines
sufficient men to undertake repairing
the railroad -th and west from Tam

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 13.-The leg
islature last night completed the pas
sage of all Governor Glynn's bills and
adjourned sine die. Today, probably,
the governor will sign the measures, |
all of which, except that relating to
workmen's compensation, will become
effective Immediately. The work
mems compensation bill will not take
effect until January 1. Only small op-
position was made in the assembly to
the bills, the Republicans supporting
most of the measures.
The principal bills passed provide
for compulsory workmen's compensa-
tion for all hazardous employments;
direct primaries; Massachusetts bal
lot; direct nomination and election OF
United States senators; constitu-
tional convention and paying the ex-
/ pense of the Sulzer impeachment trial.
For the latter purpose s16o,9O0 was
appropriated. OF this sum $4,000 is
to recompense the counsel Of the as
sembly board of managers. The board
of managers gets $4,000 for expenses
while $4,000 Is to be divided among
Governor Sulzer's counsel.
A spirited debate preceded the pass
age of the workmen's compensation
: bill in the senate. Republican Leader
Brown attacked the measure, saying
l. .I predict that the first time the bill
o is put into operation the state will g
Q up into the air. The expenses of 1t
