great apprehension due to the sudden
stitutionalist force of 5000 men in that
direction. Blanco left here last week to
form a junction with another column Of
1900 men from Nuero Leon, and it is
believed that he is now about to at
tack Victoria, the capital of the state Of
Tamaulipas, as preliminary to operations
against Tampico. Meanwhile, the minis
try OF war at Mexico City has only been
able to re-enforce the local garrison with
five companies OF mounted police from
the federal district, as all available
troops were urgently required for ser
vice there to prevent surprise by the
Zapatistas
Already several bridges are reported
as having been destroyed on the national
railways from Tampico to San Luis -4'c-
tosi. as well as to Monterey, thus tying
up all traffic between those points and
cutting on communication with Mexico
City. As oil Is used as fuel on the rail-
roads, and as none can now be shipped
from Tampico into the interior, the sit
uation may prove a very serious one for
the government
General Blanco has with him three
held guns, eight Colt automatics, and
bountiful supply Of ammunition. He is
accompanied by a squad Of explosive ex-
perts, known as los dimamiteros," who
are not only skilled in destroying rail-
way bridges. but also in hurling dyna-
mite into buildings during an attack.

More Reductions
At Yard Unlikely

Further reduction in the force of

Navy yard is unlikely. according to

says the available work for the winter
was carefully compared with the force
of men on hand, and that the force
was reduced to q number sufficient to
finish the work On hand by next spring.
One battleship a year, navy officials
explain, is not enough to keep the navy
yards Of the country running to ca
pacity. II has been suggested that in
view OF the Government demand for
torpedoes, part of this work be turned
over to the washington Navy Yard.
but this idea is not looked upon with
great favor, and were 1t possible to do
part Of the work at the local yard, II
would first be necessary for Congress
to make an additional appropriation,
which could not be done at this session.
Cuts In forces Of machinists and
workmen have been made in naval
establishments at various places
throughout the country, and feeling tnat
a cut would be necessary IN his force
before spring. Captain. Jones decided
that September was the best time to
make the discharge, thus avoiding
layoff before cold weather.
