TWO MORE SHIPS RUSHED
TO REINFORCE FLETCHER

Two more ships rushed to re-enforce
those under Rear Admiral Fletcher, who
has been given carte blanche as to the
use of the American forces at Tampico,
arrived yesterday. They are the Chester
and the Wheeling, which gives him a
force of two battleships and two cruisers
at the storm center.
Navy officials do not discuss in detail
the cause of this reinforcement of the
Rhode Island and the Nebraska, but it
is plain that Admiral Fletcher has sent
for the vessels that can go close in shore
in the event that the fight between the
federals and the rebels involving the
British and American oil property may
demand the sending ashore of sailors and
marines.
The Secretary of the Navy said yester-
day that the act of Admiral Fletcher was
one within his discretion, but that it is
not based on any active necessity he has
made known to the department.
All officials agree, however, that the
news of Tuxpam or Tampico will be
first made" by. Admiral Fletcher and
communicated afterwards TO the State
Department and the Navy Department.
1t Is said that army Ulcers have in
telligence that all of the wealth of one
of the big families of Mexico is in the
hands of some friendly refugees now
approaching Ojinaga; that it amounts
to millions, and that IT will be sent over
to this side by friends of the family for
safekeeping. - This big sum of money,
it is said, was drawn from the Chihua-
hua banks and concealed successfully
from the agents of Gen. Villa.
The State Department has not heard
