MEXICAN REBELS !.
CAPTURE TUXPAN

Huerta Government Promises to
Look Into Disappearance

MAY PRESS ON TO VERA CRUZ

Washington, May i8.-Tuxpan, on tho
east coast OF Mexico. between Vera
Cruz and Tampico. is ir the hands OF
tho Constitutionalists, according to q
report to tho State Department to-day
from Consul Canada at Vera Cruz.
Consul Canada said a party OF Spanish
refugees, arriving in Vera Cruz from
Tuxpan in a launch. informed him that
Constitutionalists under General Agu-
lila had occupied the city.
The fall OF TuXpan led to much spec
ulation hore as TO the possible occu-
patton by Constitutionalists of Lobos
Island, q few miles distant The Lobos
lighthouse, one OF the most important
Of that region. was manned by Ameri-
can sailors after 1t had been abandoned
by the Huerta lighthousn-keepers. The
Huerta government protested that this
action WAS in violation Of the arnlis-
tice, and tho matter was arranged by
the State Department agreeing to turn
over the lighthouse to the Huerta
forces. Any attempt by Constitutions
alists to occupy the island might, IL
was said to-day. make 1t difficult to
carry out this agreement, and give riso
to complicating Issues.
WILL OPPOSE FEDERALS
OUTSIDE OF VERA CRUZ
That the Mexican Constitutionalist
army which took TuXpan will proceed
south and oppose the Federal troops
outside Vera Cruz was reported in OIL
cial circles tonight. Such move,
II was pointed out, probably would
prevent any possibility of trouble be-
tween tho American forces and
Hucrta's troops.
Tuxpan is about 125 miles north of
vera Cruz, and 1t was said the rcbcl
army would have little difficulty max
Ing the march in sufficient force to
defeat the Federals there. Tho rebel
army near Tuxpan Is said to be OF
considerable strength. On information
was reported that this movement
would be one of tho next aimed to
bring about tho speedy downfall OF
liuerta. and might be consummated
before the expected capture OF SaltiIlo
and San Luis Potosi by General Villas
army.
John Lind was a caller at the White
House Tonight, but did not sec tho
president. Hc said he expected 10
leave for his home In Minnesota soon.

ability of the adjournment of your

you that my constitutional obliga-
lions with regard to the maintenance
OF order in Colorado are not to be in
definitely continued by the inaction
Of the state Legislature.
"rhe Federal forces are there only
until the State of Colorado has time
and opportunity To resume complete

willing TO forego her sovereignty or
to throw herself entirely upon the gov
