LOOK ON ATTACK"
ASONLY SK|RM|SH
Gen. 0bregon's Army Not
Thought to Have Made AS
sauIt on Aguascalientes.

The general attack on Aguascalentes
by Gen. Obregon's army, reported yes
terday by Carranza headquarters at
Vera Cruz as having begun May 4. is
believed by American officials there to
be only outpost engagements. accord
ing to advices today to the State De-
partment No consular reports on the
military situation have been received
from the fighting zone in central Mex
leo in several days.
The report from Vera Cruz today said
the announcement of the attack on
Aguascalentes was believed to have
been premature. Skirmishing and mi
nor engagements at several points be-
tween Villas field headquarters at
Aguascalientes and Obregons base at
Celaya have been reported by both
sides for the last two weeks, and il is
supposed Carranza cavalry patrols MAY
have attacked outpoSts near the north
ern town. although there Is nothing to
indicate that Obregon's army is far
north of Celaya.
British embassy officials here are Sc
riously concerned over the situat ton in
the oil fields of Mexico, upon which the
the British navy depends for large
quantities of fuel oil.
Foreign-Owned Wells Undamaged.
Assurances have reached the State
Department from Tampico that no for
eipn-owned wells had been set afire or
otherwise damaged at Panuca, recent
~ captured by the Villa forces. This
served to relieve one source of worry
at the British embassy, but officials
fear delays and possibly an attempt at
double taxation may result from the
fact that Villa troops control the pro
ducing wells The gulf terminals at
Tampico and Tuxpam are still in Car
rama hands.
A State Department statement last
evening said:
1T Is reported from Tampco that the
Panuca river is closed to traffic above
TamesI. The capture of the town by
Gen. Villa is confirmed and it is stated
that no foreigners suffered any dam
ages.
THE territory containing practically
all theproducing oil wells is now held
by the forces of Gen. Villa, while Gen.
Carranza controls all the oil terminals
in the district of Tuxpam and Tam
pico.'
