A Center for Americans.
Naval officers report that there are
about 5000 or 1000 Americans in the
neighborhood of Tampico who regard
this as their port of refuge. The prlnci-
pal foreign interests about the city are
American and British oil concerns. The
oil fields are productive in spots in an
area extending from Tuxpam. 100 miles
north, on the gulf along the coast for
thirty miles inland to Tampico. The oil
is piped and barged to Tampico and
Tuxpam, where most of it is exported IN
crude state.
The mosquito pest in Tampico is great
and the fleet needs great quantities of
mosquito netting. There is also consid-

plaza Is in the main business section. The

There are large number of wine shops

a report to the commanding officer of the
