from Tampico were that Admiral Mayo
was informed by persons intimately in
touch with the situation at Tampico that
it was necessary for the safety OF all
foreigners that the United. States naval
vessels should not be near the town.

| apparently considered war on, and
that the federal and constitutionalist
| forces We're exchanging oVertures to

| in Tampico that his forces should not
be at Tampico.
