Protection of Tampico
Oil, Fleet Supply,
May Bring Action
CARRANZA TOLD
OF U-BOAT PERIL
Blockade of Port Expect
ed-U. S. Asked to Urge
Precautions
[From the Tribune Bureau.1


Washington, Nov 6.-British inter-
vention in Mexico is feared by the
Mexican government, it was learned to-
day in Administration quarters. Cen
eral Carranza has been advised that
there is danger that Great Britain may
land troops at Tampico to guard the
oil properties there from possible at
tack by revolutionists. The Tampico
oil fields constitute the chief source OF
fuel for the British feet.
It was learned also that the Car
ranza government is expecting u-ooat
campaign off Tampico with the object
of blockading the oil traffic from that
port. That the British government also
il apprehensive Of this is indicated oy
a request that the State Department
warn Carranza and ask him to protect
Mexico's neutrality.
Administration officials have no IN
formation to confirm General Gar
ranza's fear that Great Britain plans
70 land troops at Tampico. 1t Is De-
lieved. moreover, that the British gov
ernment would not do this without con-
sulting Washington. If, however the
fuel supply of the British Meet IS ac-
tually in danger the British govern
ment might, it is admitted, be forced 10
disregard the Monroe Doctrine.
The Mexican rebels are not operating
in the vicinity of Tampico at present.
i is understood, though since the war
hegan there have been persistent re-
norts of n German intrigue with the
bandits 10 attack Tampico. 1t is be-
neyed possible that General Carrap1s
has definite information concerning
such plot, AID that, therefore ne
fears British interference with the par-
pose of preventing II.
Mexico's attitude toward the BRUSH
warning against submarine campaign
was clearly set forth In note from
Candido Aguilar, Secretary for Foreign
Affairs. 70 the British Foreign once
to-day. Sefor Aguilar's communication
was sarcastic. He objected, first OF ALL
70 the fact that Great Britain had made
its representations through the state
Denartment here instead of directly to
Mexico City. He said further that the
Mexican government could be depend
ed on to look out forits own neutrality
and that if Great Britain had any con-
Germ in the matter of the U-boats the
best way TO handle the subject was TO
"prevent the submarines from leaving
their bases"

taps a very rich mineral section, and
the line which the Americans are to
build also runs through territory in
