New York, December 10-After an I'M
broken record of 40 years as dividend

Hartford Railroad company finally has
been forced to the necessity of suspending
further disbursements on it's sl57 900, 900

today after a protracted meeting of the
directors. The action of the board, while
partly foreshadowed by the recent acute
weakness of the stock, will come as a
shock to thousands of investors.

Add to Anxiety

The attack ON Tampico by the rebels
added today to the anxiety of the WASH
ington administration about foreigners
and their interests. Nothing was an
nounced from the state department about
conditions at Tampico, but the report that
the rebel general had advised the re-
moval of foreign residents added gravity
to the situation.
The dispatch of British ships TO MeXi-
can waters occasioned no surprise to the
state department as there had been previ-
Gus indications through officials chan
nels that there might be sent extra ships
to look after British interests. AT the
state department che reported increase
of British vessels was regarded a nat
ural act in emergencies such as might
occur at Tampico and that vicinity.
Officially it was stated that the nulli-
fication by the Mexican Congress OF the
last elections and sthe confirmation 81
