PERSONS AND WADE HAVING CLOSE RACE
 FOR COMMISSIONER
Believed the Official Count Will Be Necessary to Determine KOlb's
 Successor

With Henderson assured of majority of probably 10000 for governor over Conner, chief interest in the run-off primary now centers in the race for commissioner of agriculture, wherein Persons and Wade are having a very close race. It is doubt ful if the result will be obtained until an official count is made. When the re- turns first began to trickle in Persons seemed to be the favorite, but later re- turns have tended to swell the Wade vote and the outcome of this race is very un- certain, although it is believed Wade is slightly in the lead
 Talla poosa, Wade's home county. gave him substantial majority, polling in the neighborhood of 2o00 more votes than Per sons while Etowah also went in the Wade column, giving the Tallapoosa candidate l422 to 97l for Persons. The vote in Ma rengo stood; Wade 800 Persons s75.
 Martin has won over Riddle for the at- torney generalship by something like 20 600 majority, while Judge Almon has ma- Jority of over 1000 in the Eighth to succeed the late Congressman William Richardson.

holding up of shipments of arms for him at Vera Cruz was unjust.
 Fhe position of the American govern ment has been that 1t held the customs house at Vera Cruz as an act of reprisal and when a shipment of arms was en route to Puerto Mexico recently no at tempt was made to prevent it's landing. though in way unexplained, the Ger man ship carrying the munitions decided not to land it's cargo.
 News of fighting at Tampico came in brief dispatches to the navy department. First, Rear Admiral Mayo reported fir ing since a. m., continuing until the aft ernoon. He reported that the federals lacked ammunition and could not hold out. The Mexican federal gunboats tools position far up the river part of the day, but at D. m withdrew to the outer harbor Their purpose was not explained, but the inference was that they were getting out of range of the rebel artil- lery Shortly afterward reports came from Admiral Mayo that the federal evacuation had begun.
 Interesting Questions
 The taking of Tampico, the port next in importance to Vera Cruz, will raise many interesting questions, as the con. stitutionalists hitherto have held no sea- ports. It is possible the federal gunboats may seek to prevent arms and supplies from landing at Tampico, but such an interference with international commerce might not be tolerated by the big for eign ships lying there and complications are possible With success at Tampico the constitutionaists will press hard for possession of Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. Fighting on the west coast today was desultory, according to meagre reports. The federals still were occupying the city

Pena Relieves Maas


 Washington May 13.-News reached Washington through official sources tonight that Gen. Garcia Pena, one of the highest ranking officers in the Mexican federal army, had taken com mand of the forces outside of Vera Cruz, superseding General Maas.
 This news caused speculation around the state. war and navy departments. Some officials were inclined to attach special significance to the move. sec ing in it evidence of Huertas inten- tion to strengthen his position around the port and possibly to assume an of fensfve attitude. On the other hand, 1t was suggested that General Maas' con- duct had displeased the dictator and that his removal very probably had nothing whatever to do with the in- ternational situation.
 Those who took the less optimistic view thought that the fall of Tampico today might have made Huerta des- perate and have led him to take some steps to force the hand of the United States without awaiting the outcome of the pending mediation negotiations.
 In this connection 1t was suggested that the force driven out of Tampico might undertake to march through the mountains and effect a junction with the army between Mexico City and Vera Cruz Some of those most fla miliar with the situation, however, thought this highly improbable as the railroad toward San Luis Potosi over which the federals fled from Tampico is in operation for only about 30 miles. and the journey down the coast on foot would be impracticable.

American authorities were not willing to increase the large colony already over crowding the hotels. With the fall of Tampico hostilities on the Gulf of Mexico come to an end. at least for time.
 The federals are maintaining the ar mistice so far as the Americans are con cerned, according to a note from General Rubio Navarete. published here today
 Nowhere else along the coast line, ex- cept at Tampico, arc there more than scattered posts of federals constitu- tionalists and the logical movement of the yictors from Tampico would be to join forces with those beseging San Luis Potos South of Tampico the nearest federal forces. those on the Mexican rail- road, are merely holding outposts against possible American advance inland. The country between Tampco and Vera Cruz and inland to the line of the Mexican National railroad is barren and noun tainous and impossible for military oper- ations. There is no railroad or other means for the constitutonalists to move against the federals at Paso del Macho, nor would they gain great advantage by driving them back toward the capital.
