CONCENTRATE ON TAMPIcO.
Mexican Rebels Are Preparing for I'm
mediate Attack

Vera Cruz, Feb. THAT the rebels
are concentrating in strong force for an
immediate attack ON Tampico is indi-
Gated in a wireless dispatch received
here yesterday from Clarence A. Miller.
United States consul at Tampico.
Consul Miller. who has exceptionally
good sources of information, says the
rebels, after they had been repulsed in
small fight near Laguna Puerta Febru-
airy 8, retreated to Los Esteros with tri-
fling loss. During that night several
trainloads OF reinforccments arrived
from Victoria and the following day
the rebels left Los Esteros and made a
rapid advance movement in the direc-
tion Of Altamira and Tampico, driving
in the federal advance guard and openly
expressing the intention to take Tam
pico by storm the night of February 5
or February 8.
Apparently, however, the eonsul's re-
port says, the attack was deferred to
await the arrival of rebel reinforcements
from the south. These are expected to
arrive the night of February and force
a passage across the Panuco river and
assist in the general assault by an at
tack on the mdefended south side of
the city.
The rebels yesterday destroyed the
water tank service, l5 miles up the river
from Tampico, leaving only three days
supply of water in the city reservoir.
The rebels have planned to fire the oil
tanks of the Ave foreign oil companies,
and turn the blazing streams into the
river with the purpose OF destroying or
compelling the immediate retreat down
stream of the Mexican gunboats guard
ing the east and west approaches TO the
city. The Vera Cruz is the only gun
boat now at Tampico, but others are
expected.
The federal garrison at Tampico has
been greatly depleted, owing to the dis
patch of troops to assist in the defense
of San Luis Potosi and the attempt
at reopening the railroad from San Luis
Potosi to Tampico, TO which much addi-
tional damage recently has been done
by rebel raiders. "a
rampico is now entirely isolated ex-
cept through communication by the
wireless of the warships.
The movement OF the rebels indicates
a radical change in the plan adopted
after their repulse in the first attack on
Tampico in December. IL was decided
then to concentrate all their efforts to
reduce Monterey before resuming their
attack on the great oil port

DEATH OF PRIVATE PARKS
TO BE AVENGED BY HUERTA

This message received by the sec
retary of state at 11:30 today was the
first word he had had in reply to his
urgent demands of late last week up
on the Mexican government.
simultaneously Bryan said Sill
mans release would be presented
again to the Huerta government.
The Brazilian minister wired he would
take the matter up again, stating that
interrupted train service was the
probable cause of the consul's delay in
arriving from Saltillo. The agree
ment to punish Mexicans in the Parks
case was taken here today to mean
that Secretary Bryan's representa-
tions had gone further than mere
request for information. 1t was be-
lfeved as originally intimated and
later inferentially denied, that Bryan
had demanded reprisals.
