Residents Flee from Laredo.

Laredo. Texas, Dec S.--FNear of q constitu,ionalis attack brought about a great exodus of women and children from Nuevo Laredo today and tonight. The scare was not confined to the Mexican side, for many army officers here hearing Of the expected attack and fearing a battle, wittdrew thelr children from the public schools and brought them to their homes.
 An unIeonfirmed rumor said the con stitutionalis4s demanded the surrender of Nuevo Laredo by o'clock tonight and that the surrender was refused the federals having planned to dyna- mite the city and felt certain of rebel inability to take the place, This, how ever. did not prevent the exodus.
 Thirty carloads of bullion, consisting of gold, silver and alloy were passed by the American Smelting and Reiin- ing Company in safety and are en route north.
 According to report, more than 2,Oot onstitn'ionalists are within re" miles of the city, ready at any moment to attack Nuevo Laredo; on the other hand. ccnstimtionahst leaders state no effort win be made to take this place. as thair forces have mobilizeo for the capture of Monterey, in which event Nueyo Laredo would be at then mercy.
 Color was given to the scare by the fact that the American consul in Nue vo Laredo removed to the American side the archives of his office and lefl them in care of custom house mmi grafion authorities.

PAYMAsTER IS GAME.
Wounded by Bandits, He Kills Both
 Assaiiants.

Vera Cruz, Dec, S.--Eric Walker, the English paymaster of the Agulla on Company at Tampico. while proceed. ing to the camps last night with q large sum of money, was attacked by two bandits. Though badly wound ed. he killed both his aSsailants and returned to Tampico. He now is be ing cared for in hospital. This af- fair is reported by Clarence A. Miller. the American consul at Tampico, who expresses the opinion that it has ncth- ing to do wit hthe revolution.
 Information from exceptionally reli- able sources makes it appear practical ly certain that the rebels are prepar- ing to concentrate all their available forces for an attac kon Monterey The troops which recently captured Victoria are moving in that direction: a strong column is coming down from the northern part of Tamaudipas and another is moving fro mthe south ward. It also appears probable that the bulk of General Aguilar's com mand will leave the oil fields and unite
 iwth the converging forces.
