may follow" his threatened confsca-
ton of foreign-owned oil plants In
Tampico This announcement was
made BY Secretary Bryan after the
latter had conferred with Sir Cecil
Spring Rice. the British ambassador,
and representatives of American oil
concerns.
Already the Carranza officials have
practically enforced an embargo on
the expectation of oil by big English
company. The British Ambassador. at
the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan, sent an
urgent telegram to the British consul
at Vera Cruz, which he was instructed
10 show to General Carranza. As the
British fleet obtains much of its fuel
from the Tampico oil fields. the pos
sibility of serious complications over
the Carranza governments attitude is
fully realized by the American govern
ment.
Fear Confiscation.
Mr.. Bryan said that the foreign
owned oil companies feared confisca-
ton of their wells" by Carranza and
that the urgent representations had
been made TO forestall such action
A decree issued by the Carranza
government makes it impossible for
some of the foreign oil companies TO
operate without the consent of the
Mexican authorities. and some Of the
American concerns. it is said. have
been forced to pay so heavy tax that
they have been practically compelled
to shut down their plants. Although
there are Dutch interests at Tampico,
no representations have as yet been
made by the Netherlands government.
The prospect of a battle on the
outskirts Of Tampico between the ad-
vaneing forces of General Villa and
the columns of Carranza, under Gen.
Pablo Gonzales. is expected here to
develop the situation further. II the
Villa forces are victorious a solution
of the problem is confidently expected
because of previous assurances given
by the Vills-GutieTrez officials In that
