NEAR TANPICO

ply, Americans Believe.

Developments in the Tampico oil
fields are being closely watched by
Americans here having interests in
Mexico. The announcement from
Washington and Mexico City that
federal force would be sent against
Manuel Palaez and his rebels caused
much apprehension here as it was
feared that this might lead TO inter-
national complications because of the
proximity Of the Tampico-Tuxpam oil
fields to the district held by Palaces.
A campaign against Palaces might
mean the cessation Of oil production
and this would curtail the fuel sup
ply for the British grand fleet. ac-
cording to one American who owns
large interests in Mexico.
Mexican officials here and in Juarez
discount the importance given TO the
proposed military movement by
Americans here on the border. They
said the campaign would be con-
Quoted against Palaez and his follow
ers without interfering with the oil
supply. PalaeZ. they added. had less
