FEOERAL.S HOLD BLUE JACKETS
PARTY OF u. S. MARINES ARE
ARRESTED AT TAMPICO.
Detained Short Time, However-Apol.
ogy From Huerta-San Pedro Said
to Have Been Evacuated.

Mexico City, April 13.-A launch
from the United States gunboat Dol.
phin, carrying the paymaster and a
small detachment of marines, put in
at Iturbide bridge at Tampico. The
Americans were after a supply of gas
oline. They were in uniform, but
unarmed. The launch flew the Amer
lean flag.
Col. Hinojosa, commanding a detach-
ment Of Mexican federals, placed the
paymaster and his men under arrest.
They were paraded through the
streets and held for a time under de-
tention.
Admiral Mayo made vigorous repre-
sensations to the authorities and the
men were released. General Ignacio
Zaragoza expressed to Admiral Mayo
his regret.
Although President Huerta in an Of
fetal statement to Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, the American Charge d'Affaires,
has ~apologized for the unusual zeal
of the Mexican commander
at Tampico, there exists here great
uneasiness because Admiral Mayo is
reported to have given the government
authorities at Tampico until but a few
hours to salute the American colors.
Say Federals Are Attacking.
An agent of the American embassy
reporting from Saltillo says that Gen.
eral Velazco, who commanded the fed
eral forces at Torreon during the at
tack by Villa, has succeeded in unit
ing with Generals Mas and De Moure
and that the combined forces are now
attacking Torreon.
Tampico Attacks Diminishing.
Vera Cruz.-An official report sent
by the commanding officer at Tam
pico, General Zaragoza, t the min
lister of war, through this port, says
that he had to face a severe attack
from the rebels several days ago, but
since then the attacks have been di-
minishing in force each day. He re-
ports that only four federals were
wounded and none killed, but that he
is exceedingly short of ammunition.
San Pedro Is Taken.
Juarez, Mex.-San Pedro, 40 miles
north of Torreon, was evacuated by
the federals in the face of superior
numbers, according to a report from
General Villa to General Carranza.
