co to Avert Attacks by Mobs
Upon Americans.
Washington, April 29.-In regard
ito the reports from Tampito that
.American citizens there were indig-
snant because of the departure of the
:American battleships from the, river,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels SAID
today that this action had been
taxed | afterS. tacE British sAdzhirai
,Cradoek had inforp!sed Aa Y + va
;yo that EhEwduldl undertake. to Sre-
:ceive Americans from Tampico
aboard the Hcrmione and transfer
them to the Das MoinesshPoI the
american vessels taking position
Fat sea. :,
This arrangement was accepted
to avert possible massacre OF
Americans, the Federals having
made overtures to the Constitution
alists to unite against the Ameri-
cans An official statement given out
says:
"The reasons for withdrawing ma
val forces under Admiral Mayo from
Tampico was that Admiral Mayo
was Informed by persons intimately
j., touch with the situation at Tam
pjco that it was necessary for the
safety of all foreigners that the UNI
ted States naval vessels should not be
near the town.
He was informed that the MeEl-
cans apparently considered war on;
that the Federal and Constitutions
alist forces were exchanging over
lures To unite their forces against
Americans and that the presence OF
the United States ships near lam
nico would almost surely cause the
two forces to combine. The British
naval captain volunteered to send out
all Americans and, therefore, Al
miral Mayo decided that it was IN
the best interests of Americans and
in Tampico that his forces should
not be at Tampico.
"Admiral Badger agreed entirely
with Admiral Mayo and the depart
ment indorsed the action. Results
have justified the action"
Rear-Admiral Mayo reported yes
terdav that the Federal forces are
making further overtures to the
Constitutionalists for a combination
against the United States. lie SAID
the Constituencies are still mr.
ing.
Admiral Mayo also reported that
Admiral Cradock, of the British
cruiser Hermione, had dispatched
Major Clark and a detachment OIL
British royal marines 40 miles inland
to rescue eight Americans at Orange
Hill and was expected back last
