 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10-All other phases of the Mexican situation were out of mind here while officials awaited the outcome of the fighting at Tampico, where valuable oil property has already been destroyed and Ameri can and other foreign owned plants were in imminent danger from shells of federal gunboats. At the last reports the battle was still in progress. Shells were still falling around the oil properties in spite of the urgent pro- tests of Real Admiral Mayo.
 Admiral Mayo sent one note to the constitutionalists directing the attack upon Tampico and two to General Za ragosa, the federal commander, insist ing foreign property be protected. While it is said at both the state and navy department, that no ultimatum has been sent, officials said that both sides have been warned that the United States would regard with great dis favor the destruction of foreign prop erty.
 No specific orders have been given Admiral Mayo as to what he shall do in the event his representations are ig- nored He will use his own discretion, the officials said. In addition to the half dozen American ships of TampicO, France, Spain, Germany and Great Britain have war crafts there.

 The sooists for the evening were Mrs. William H. Sargent Mrs. Clyde Candy. W. F. Deity. William Conrad Mills, l.

R0MEz, ACCUSED oF
 MURDER, WANTS TRIAL

Manuel Romez. alleged to have killed Louis Rodriguez in September, 1913. over a quarrel concerning the ownership of a bottle of wine, plead ed not guilty when arraigned yester- day afternoon before Judge Phillips. Romez was arrested in 1912 in Mar icopa County for passing several worthless checks. He pleaded guilty. but sentence was suspended, largely because the men whose name he forged interceded in his behalf.
 After his release he went back to work. Rodriguez, his victim was a fellow worker in cattle camp. The pair were returning from Phoenix to the camp one night. Rodriguez was found with his neck cut open in the morning. Romez. it is alleged, fled to Mexico and there boasted that he was immune from Uncle Sans law. He was arrested while on the Amerl- can side and has been in jail several weeks
