NO HARM DONE TO
PANUCO OIL FIELDS
Federals Heed Warning
and Quit Without DAM
aging Properties.

Tampico, Mexico. May 70. via Browns
vile. Tex, May 2l.-General Zaragosa
and all the Federal troops that retreated
from Tampico evacuated Panuco yester-
day without destroying property of any
kind. but they took all the horses. mules
and cattle.
The Federals marched I'm a southwester-
ly direction. intending to make a junction
with the Federal column which evac i
ated TuXpam and to strike across the
TO Pachuca, where they could reach the
railroad and continue even to Puebla.
General IaragOsa's forces are believed
TO be short Of ammunition. but they have
plenty of cattle. sufficient. with what Ie
would be able to pick up en- route 70
enable them to reach their destination.
The Federals having had a long start, it
is not considered probable that the Con-
stitutionalists will attempt, to pursue
them.
The retreat Of the Federals from Pa
nuco removed all fear that the oil prop
critics would be destroyed and insured a
speedy resumption OF work MANY oil
companies are now arranging To hurry
men up the river to start operations and
also to take steps to prevent an overflow
OF oil at the Corona and other great wells
where the oil threatens to rise above the
reservoir and fall into the river.
The last considerable detachment OF
ConstitUtionalist troops left here for Mon
terey this afternoon. ana those left in
Tampico are only sufficient to hold the
city against attack
For several days before the Federal
evacuation OF this city, and also after Tho
arrival of General Zaragosa a PanuCo,
the entire interest of the inhabitants and
commercial men was centered on the
fate of the oil fields. General Zaragosa
had several times reiterated his deter
mination TO destroy the town OF Paunco
and all the oil properties throughout the
region II ne should be attacked by the
Constituencies.
The fear that General Zaragosa would
execute his threat caused prominent oil
men in Tampico TO call the attention OF
tie Ccnstitutionalist commander 10 tie
danger.
At their urgent request General Cabal-
Zero decided to stop the advance of coll
limn of 800 ConstitutiOnalist troops which
had been told off as an advance guard Of
the Constitutionalst army with which he
had intended to take Panuco by assault
and destroy the Federal army under Con
eral Zara sosa.
II was decided at a conference between
the Constitutionalist commanders and the
representatives OF the principal oil COM
panios TO offer to General zaragosa the
proposition that If he refralned from The
destruction OF the properties i'm and
around Panuco and retreated the Consti-
tutionalists would refrain from attackins
him within one hundred miles of the

ARMY REVOLT NEAR
in MEXICO CITY
Rebels Swarm Into Capital
to Foil Escape of Huerta
and Cabinet.

Vera cruz. May 21.-A revolt at any
moment in the Mexican army in the
capital would cause no surprise, accord
ing TO refugees who arrived here to-
day They say foreigners there are ex-
pecting daily the beginning of another
outbreak similar to that OF February
last year
The refugees say it Is apparent that
all that is lacking to bring about such
an uprising is leader with sufficient
courage 10 head the movement They
say treason against General Huerta is
uttered boldly on the streets and in the
saloons of the capital where formerly
conspirators surrounded themselves
with all possible secrecy.
The capital, it is understood, is over
run with adherents Of Nenustiano Car
rama. and these men appear anxious
to forestall any attempt Of General
Huerta and his followers TO escape. All
the Cabinet officers and General
Huerta himself are said to be kept
under close watch in order to prevent
their fight.
The resignation of more members of
the Cabinet, including Querido Moheno,
who was the most jealous supporter of
General Huerta, is rumored to be likely
in the near future.

MEDIATION PROMPTED BY
WILSON, SAYS DA CANA
Statement of Brazilian Diplo-
mat a Surprise at Dominion
Minister'S Dinner.
fBy Telegraph to Tine Tribune.

Niagara Falls. Ont, May 2l-That
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
were responsible" for the mediation of
the A y G countries was the surpris-
ingly frank statement made by the
Brazilian Ambassador at the dinner
given for the mediators and delegates
by the Dominion Minister of Agricult-
ure this evening.
There has been an impression, which
amounted almost to a conviction, that
,hc mediation was undertaken at the
suggestion Of the administration in
Washington, rather than on the initia-
tive of the A i G nations, but this
frank avowal by the Brazilian Ambas-
sador came as decided surprise, TO
none quite so much so as to the Amer
lean delegates.
Opinion is conflicting regarding the
effect of this statement, but it is gen.
orally accepted as indicating at least
q strong desire on the part of the ad-
ministration At Washington that the
mediation phase succeed.

ROOT PLEADS FOR
HONOR OF NATION
New York Senator Urges
with Feeling Passage of
Tolls Repeal.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. May 1.-THE earnestness
with which Senator Root has made his
fight for the repeal Of the tolls exemption
clause OF the Panama Canal act. and the
preservation OF what he looks upon as
the honor Of the nation was exemplified
to-day i'm a speech OF FIVE hours. which he
made to the Senate In support Of the re-
peal bill
Great Britain asked for arbitration and
we are here discussing repeal, ne SAID.
MIR. Taft was i'm favor of arbitraton'
President Roosevelt. with all his cour-
aeeous and combatiye nature. is In FAVOR
of arbitration: President Wilson is in ia
vor of arbitration. All of us are in favor
Of arbitration. but it il impossible to get a
vote of two-thirds of the Senate to send
the question to arbitration. SO why are
we here talking arbitration?
"A majority OF thirty-two of this Senate
would be necessary 20 send this case 10
arbitration. We are for this repeal first
and chiefly because We cannot arbitrate
II and to refuse 10 arbitrate it would dis
credit and dishonor our country.
If We decide this in our favor and re-
fuse TO arbitrate We are discredlted ana
dishonored and we have repudiated our
principles Now. let any man VINO votes
against this repeal take 10 himself the
responsibility of Leading his country INTO
that abyss. Who is the guar tian of aa-
lions honor but her own sons? Do we
commit the duty Of remonstranee against
our breach OF honor our conscience
must be our monitor America must
make the demand upon America that our
honor and our good faith be kept with
out stain.
1T is no petty question with England
about tolls This is a question whether
the United States put on its honor with
the world, is going TO make good the
public declaration that reaches beyond
our borders. whether the honor and good
faith of the United States Is As go0i AS
it's bond.
I'VE are right or we are wrong. our
country has taught the world the most
valuable lesson of modern history. If not
of all history that a democracy Is COM
petent TO maintain within its own terri
tories peace and order with justice. ! be-
lieve that the power Of a developing de-

which Saltillo is the capital. He at
once declared that Madero had been
murdered by Huerta's orders, and that
Huerta was usurper and must be
overthrcwn. The army which he or
ganized in Coahuila later went TO So

formally was organized.

SILLIMAN'S FATE
City's Fall Expected to Reveal
Mystery of COnsurs
Disappearance.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Torreon, Mexico, May 2.-Villa's
capture Of Saltillo is expected to lift
the mystery surrounding the fate Of
United States Consul John r. Silliman,
who has been reported in prison in
Saltillo and by Federals TO have been
set free.
George c. Carothers, representative
Of the State Department, who is with
Villas army, is under orders to deter
mine at once the fate OF Silliman, but
tonight no word of the American Con-
sui has been received in Torreon. This
is explained by rebels as being due to
the confusion of the unexpected capt

1t is considered probable that the
Federals. if they have not already
killed the American Consul. have taken
him with them in their fight south.
