Flight Near Vera Cruz.


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Constitu-
titionalists made sharp attack upon
federal reinforcements in the north
western portion of Vera Cruz province
yesterday and an indecisive engage
ment followed, according to mes
sage from Admiral Badger .oday. The
admiral also transmitted report from
Admiral Mayo at Tampico, stating 1T
was persistently rumored there that
General villa is marching toward
Tampico to take and burn :he city.
Admiral Mayo said very little cred
ence is placed upon the agreement
between federalists and constitution
list for a truce at Tampico. That Mex
leans believe the Americans will ad-
vance on Mexico City was indicated
today by General Funston's dis
patches. He declared Mexicans were
concentrating at various points along
the railroad to guard the road In
case we advance" Although Secre-
tary Garrison declined to tell what
orders he had issued to Funston, he
clearly indicated, that he has given
Funston discretionary authority, even
to extending lines to insure safety OF
the Tejaria water supply.
Consul Bonney and wife Of San Luis
Potesi reported that they are safe In
Mexico City and will leave tonight.
The message shed no light on the
present whereabouts of Consul Sill

FATHER LoWREY LEFT
THIS AFTERNOO ON
After Spending Few Plsaasnt Days
in ksokuk Among His Old
Friends.

His many friends In Ksokuk have
been enjoying . visit from Father
Lowrey, for number OF years in
charge OF st. Francis de Sales Cath
olic church in this city, during which
time he gained the esteem and conf.
snce of Keokuk citizens OF all
classes. He was genial in his asso-
Citations, courteous and dignified In
bearing, and a friend Of the truest
type. His presence and work in Keo-
kuk left its impress on this city and
1t may be truthfully said that 1t is
well that he lived and mingled here
For many years before coming to
Keokuk he had charge OF church at
Cedar Rapids where he fully engraft-
ed himself into the esteem OF that
community. It was probably fifteen
or more years ago, that he severed
his connection with the Keokuk
charge. and left st. Francis de Sales
church, to the regret Of his entire
congr sgation and OF citizens general
~. He went from here to Galveston.
Texas, and was there In time to suf-
flood which visited the unfortunate
city and came near the destruction OF
1t. Later he went to another point
In Texas where he had charge of a.
parish. Now he has returned to his
first love at Cedar Rapids where he
is located, successfully conducting
affairs as pastor Of fiourtshing con-
gregation.
This afternoon he left for Fort
Madison, where he will meet many
friends and thence to his home at
Cedar Rapids. This forenoon he was
on the streets here and his passage
along Main street was like quiet
ovation as he was seen by numb srs
OF his friends who met him with ex-
tended hand, and welcoming smile
upon their countenances. This vel
come to the genial Father Lowrey was
beautiful in its sincerity.
