ATTACK
ON TAMPIC0

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Three
hundred unemployed Americans have
appealed to the state department for
transportation from Tampico to the
United States. The situation there
was reported officially today to be
serious. Food is scarce and tho fight
ing at Ebano and vicinity indicates
an early attack on the city.
Rear Admiral Caperton, with the
cruiser Washington, e to T; mpico
today from Vera Cruz on his own
initiative to join the gunboats Petrol
and Sacramento. Officials hee dis
cussed arrangements for the Use Of
army transports which will b. sent
for the Tampico refugees II the state
department formally requests them on
Monday.
The state department had nc news
from the Celaya district whers the
forces of General Obregon amt Cen
| eral Villa had been engaged ill Skin
mishes preliminary to what is ex-
pected to be an important battle.
George C. Carothers, American con-
sular agent, usually at Villas head
quarters, has gone to Guadalaj; "a to
make representations to the local
villa authorities concerning thu per
centage tax to be imposed on f>reign
property and to which the british
government as we'll as the United
States has taken exception.
Villa Agency Protests.
The Villa agency here protested to
the state department today on behalf
OF General Villa, against the exl'ected
presence of General Huerta on Amer
lean territory, alleging that he intend
ed to violate neutrality by starting a
hostile movement against Mexico. No
action was taken on the communion
ton.
The state department does not in
tend to interpose any objection 10 the
admission of Huerta when he arrives
in New York tonight or tomorrow, but
will probably take under consideration
any proof of alleged violations OF neu-
trality which the Villa agency might
present.

CAT FISH ARE BITING
IN THE CARSON RIVER

The Gardnerville Courier says that
they hear a rumor that the catfish
are biting in the Carson river, which
is probably true. At any rate the cat

The greatest trouble about the cat
