MAY BURN, THE PLACE.
Great Excitement I'M Vera Cruz
When Rumors of Shclling The City
are Circulated.

Ell Paso, Texas, May 1l.-Constl-
tutional headquarters of Juarez tod:
were without confirmation of q re-
port from Vera Cruz that the consti-
tutiona'ist forces under Gen. Pabk
Gonzales had captured Tampico.
The last advices received after mid
night. said Gonzales had telegraphet
Gen. Carranza at Torreon that fight
inm was still in progress at Tamplc;
Sunday afternoon, but that he hoped
to capture the city within a few
hours Twelve rebel canon were
then sheling the federal fortress.
Gonzales gave no details OF th'
fighting, except to indicate that 1t had
been desperate. He did not mention
whether any of the oil wells in the Vi
cinitv were afire. although it was re-
ported from another source that two
cf these were burning, having been
set afire by the bursting shells.
Constitution2.iist officers at JuareZ
anticipate that Gen. Francisco Villas
army, row operating near Saltillo:
will soon be augmentei by 5000
troops, folIowing General Carranza's
coming visit to Durango. Caranza
is due here tomorrow to smooth out
the differences between constitutions
z;Iists leaders and the Arrieta Bro
thers. The latter have been Withhold
ing their support in the Saltiilo cam
paign because of a quarrel with Gen.
Villa.
Washington, May 11.-That the oc-
cunation of IIobos Island by the Unit
ed States forces under Admiral Bad
ger were justified by the rules of in.
tcrnational procedure is the contention
nelc in answer to protests filed on
behalf Of Dictator Huerta. It was
earne! today that the State Depart.
ment had so statei to mediators. who
last night transmitted a protest from
Huerta that such occupation was Vi
o1qtion Of implied agreement that
no hostile moves would be undertaken
pending outcome of the meditation
negotiations.
Lobcs Island lighthouse is one Of
the navigation marks between Tampi-
co and Tuxpam. 1t was seized by
Admiral Badger because he had re-
ceived creditable information that II
was to be destroye; by Mexicans. The
United States takes the position that
this act Was in no way an act of ag-
gression.
The Huerta protest, however, has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of of
fcialdon.i that the dictator is detemin-
ed to take advantage Of every oppor-
tunitv to accuse the United States OF
bad faith before the mediators. By
doing so. officials here believe Huerta
will be able to accuse the mediators
Of discriminating against him shout
he recide later on to withdraw from
the conferences.
The Navy Department IS anxious
" awaiting further word from Tam
pico, where desperate fighting ha;
been in progress since Saturday. Th'
revolutionary forces. under General!
Gonzales and Caballeros, have tn
town completely surrounded and onI!
the fire of the federal gunboats in tn
river has prevented its capture by as
| sauits.
The greatest fear here is that tht
conStitutioralsts, if they are unable
to silence the gunboats otherwise, ma,
turn loose stored oil on the surfac
Of the river and set fire to it.
