Reports reaching here indicate that
the situation at Tampico is extremely
ominous. The rebels are planning a
general attack as soon as all Ameri-
cans are out of the city and heavy
damage Is expected.
General Funston is now in a posi-
tion to take whatever measures he
may see fit to guard the city from an
attack should General Mas show
signs Of advancing. Funston made q
tour of the outer defenses yesterday
and having received permission to
extend his lines IL necessary, is &C.
quainted with the territory in which
his troops will be placed.
The question OF continuing to feed
the people of Vera Cruz Is becoming
serious. Supplies from the interior
are almost entirely cut off. AS there
is little likelihood Of this situation be-
ing relieved, Funston is expected to
take steps to rid the city Of hundreds
of vagrants that have flocked in, ex-
pecting to be fed by the Americans.
The military authorities today ex-
pected to conduct a trial Of Mexican
woman who is said to have shot and
killed eight marines and alue jackets.
She Is said to have been one OF the
most active "snipers" shooting at the
American forces. Informed by Z
Mexican the marines searched her
house and found o great quantity Of
ammunition. She was arrested and
will be tried by a military court on a
charge of murder.

night. The operators declare they are

that his attitude has not caused or in.

a stand against the union and that

lated at the convention at Trinidad

Introduction OF bills carrying out
the request Of Governor e. NJ. Am

sary as the result OF the strike, will
begin this afternoon in the special
session Of the legislature. In the opin-
ion Of many mmbers, payment Of bills
entailed by the maintenance of the
militia In the strike zone will be the
principal work accomplished. An
executive joint session held late yes
terday is said by Conservatives" to
have developed a sentiment in favor
for paying the bills. An effort to Sc
cure an Immediate adjournment failed
however.
Nine hundred troops comprising
the Eleventh U. s. cavalry, reached
Trinidad early today, completing the
occupancy of the southern Colorado
coal fields by the regulars. Disarma.
ment will now become the dominent
question in the strike, to be settled by
Col. James Lockett, who succeeds Ma

the federal forces in the field. Officers
Of the operating companies say they

murder in Pressure Isle as he is for
the assault on Deputy Sheriff Black
at Baldwin. Governor Haines uses
his influence and such power as the
Maine law places in his hands to the
end that law breakers are punished
to the full extent of the law in the
case. But he has no more power or
influence to prevent crime than the
Waterville Sentinel-nor probably so
much. If anyone is to be blamed for
the violation of the prohibitory law
outside of the actual person who sells
the rum, we believ the Democratic
newspapers which encourage rum
selling and then turn on the governor
with Now see what you've done"
should first of all be condemned. But
as for the governor of Maine, he
cannot prevent crime; he can only
use his influence to the end that crime
is punished. Any newspaper in
Maine that suggests that Governor
Haines uses his influence against the
punishment of violations of the law
is damnahly in the lie and no jury
is needed to prove their position save
a really sane person with a truthful
tongue.
