Americans on Warships

All Americans, it is said, here have
been taken on board the United
States warships. but other foreigners
are scattered throughout the oil we'll
district BY the light of the blazing
oil tanks, fired by stray shots, the
rebel artillerymen hurled shot after
shot from 20 heavy field guns into the
strongly entrenched position held by
General Ignacio Moreles Zaragosa, the
federal commander in the center of
the town sweeping the breast works
with a hail of shrapnel in an effort to
open the way for a dash by Gen. Pab-
10 Gonzales infantry.
For the first time in the fighting be-
tween the men of Huerta and Carran-
"a, the Constitutionalists were on
equal terms with the Federals in the
matter of artillery. The 20 French
field guns captured by Gen. Gonzales
at Monterey and placed in position be-
fore Tampico, have done tremendous
execution, the French shrapnel burst
ing with the utmost precision in sharp
contrast to the home made shells used
by Villa in his battles about Torreon.

Madame Nordica had been i'll since the
steamer Tasman, on which she was a
passenger, went ashore on Bramble bay
in the Gulf of Papua. Dec. IS last. Ner-
vous prostration DE to her experiences
was followed by pneumonia. The Tas-

Nordica was placed under the care of a
physician, who remained in constant at

sailed for Batavia. Il was against the
advice of her physicians that she made

Arriving here the singer seemed very
Ill but recovered somewhat after a stay
of three weeks. The Improvement, how
ever. was only temporary and when

UNDER ARREST AT MEXICO CITY

No war munitions were landed at
Puerto Mexico by the German steam
er Kronprinzessin Cecilie. Rear Ad.
miral Badger cabled the navy depart
ment late tonight that the vessel. now
at Vera Cruz, still had on board the
shipment of arms and ammunition
consigned to the Huerta government.
The medators had held an early
conference previous to the ambassa-
doris call at the White House and this
meeting on Sunday indicated develop
ments of more than ordinary import
ance. No information was obtainable
from the mediators or the White
House concerning Minister Ruiz's tel
egram, but it was believed that a re-
ply had been made.
The navy department has not made
public anything concerning the operas
ton of vessels about Lobos island. Ad-
miral Howard cabled yesterday to the
navy department that Huerta had or
dered the lighthouses on the Pacific
coast extinguished so as to impede
navigation by American ships. The
same order by Huerta is reported to
have been made as to lighthouses on
the Atlantic side. so that the reported
seizure of the lighthouse on Lobos is
land might be held to be a precaution-
airy measure to keep the lights burn
ing and thus protect all shipping
along the coast where many British,
French, Spanish and other foreign
vessels ply. AS such a precautionary
the taking of the lighthouse, it is con-
tended, would be without significance
as an occupation or territorial acquis-
ition of the island, and therefore
would not justify any charge of vio-.
lation of armistice.
