talk of the conclaye
Indicates Popular Feeling.
This was but one indication of the
growth OF fresh revolutionary feeling.
Fears are being aroused that Mexico
may come into the. same category as
the Central American states and of
the South American states, where
changes of government are common
occurrences, and the spirit Of revolu
ton always simmerng.
Word from Tampico says that the
Constituencies are trying to make
a good impression upon the foreign
powers, especially the United States,
by maintaining order in that battle
SCARED city
General Gonzales has established a
military police force, and the city is
being cleaned up. The soldiers are
being treated in hospitals. Guards have
been established around the old prop
critics of American and British capital
list. The fire which was caused by
the rebel artillery did little damage.
Asks Business Resumption.
General Gonzales issued a mani
festo to the people of Tampico, asking
them to resume normal business af-
fairs, assuring them that they would
be protected.
General Zaragoza is now believed to
have escaped to the gunboat Zaragoza,
which was lying in Panuco river dur
the battle. Together with the Vera
Cruz and the Bravo, the Zaragoza
passed down to the mouth of the river
when the Federal retreat began.
Another report said Genertl lara
goza was an a train bound for San
Luis Potosi vii d few of his troops.
Practically all OF the dead have been
buried, except coTpses OF soldiers who
were shot down in the brush and
swaps along the Panuco and Tamos
riyes, west of the city.
Rebels Clean Up Debris.
a detachment of Constitutionalists
is cleaning up the debris left by the
destruction of the Federal ammunition
depOts which We're blown up just as
the government troops evacuated.
Although there was some lOOting, it
was said that the period imm ediately
following the capture of Tampico was
more Orderly than that after the TAX
ing of Torreon and Gomez Palacio.
Villa sent word to his officers to re-
peal the rule giving their troops forty
oiirI7- h"urS fOr license and Dillage, and
to shoot any who disobeyed orders
AGAINST lOOtnG. General CabellerOs,
one of the Constituencies leaders,
said that martial law would not be
proclaimed until it became absolutely
necessary. He also said that the Gus
tom house would be opened today.
General Carranza is comntemplat-
ing making Tampico the provisional
capitol and to order large supplies of
arms and ammunition to be consigned
there from the United States. How
ever, this may be rendered impossible
by a blockade of the harbor by the
tire Mexican gunboats, Zaragoza, Vera
Cruz and Bravo.
Money for Munitions.
However, even if Hiuerta does order
a blockade, the COnstitutiOnalists have
plenty Of money, and there are always
daring men to engage in blockade
running. if the pay is sufficiently big.
Constitutiou&Iists scouts have been
Federal navy in front of Vera Cruz
commanded by Generals Navarette
and Penagarcia. 1t is possible that
there may be a battle almost at the

dcployed between Mexico City and
Cordoba to prevent Huerta's flight to
that city of to Puerto Mexico.
