ANOTHER AMERICAN DEAD.
Engineer Named Burwell Killed at
Ozuluma.
(By Charles Michelson.)


Vera Cruz, Mexico, May From
Consul Miller at Tampico comes the
report that an American engineer
named Burwell, said to be a nephew
Of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, has
been killed at Ozuluma, a town sixty
miles inland. No details are given.
1t is Known that there is much riot
ing thu eabouts, and many skirmishes
have aiken place. Burwell is not
known here.
The country behind Tampico is the
worst disordered in the entire repub-
lie. One village is controlled by fed
erals and the next by rebels and
there are constant clashes. This has
driven many into Tampico, increasing
the suffering there on account Of
famine.
General Zaragoza has obtained re-
Inducements, despite the fact that
10000 rebels had him hemmed in. He
has also renewed his stock of ammu-
milton by quantities believed to have
been smuggled from Tuxpam by small
vessels via the inland passage. The
rebels have been winded and are
drawing back, although a rumor that
General Villa is coming to take Tam
pico by assault persists.

Washington, May There was
sudden activity ir the war department
late tonight following the receipt of

the entire corps of the general staff.
They were closeted behind locked
doors and great excitement prevailed
pending the disclosure of the contents
of the message.

more troops, and the announcement
tomorrow that the transports now at
Galveston have been ordered to take
