Tampico Almost Isolated.

The revolutionists in the northeast
ern states are reported as again very
numerous and traffic between Mon
terey and Tampico is declared to be
at their mercy. Inasmuch as the rail-
road from Tampico to San Louis Pc
tosi has long been abandoned because
Of revolutionary activities. Tampico
is practically isolated. at least SO far
as military endorsements are con-
cerned. Gen. Cabellero, who. under
Caxranxa, captured Tampico from the
forces Of the Huerta government, is
now in command Of the revolutionists
operating in the state of Tamalipas.
and Is, therefore. once more menacing
Tampico. With Gen. Pelaez on the
south. and Cabelerro on the north.
Tampico. from Carranza stand
point, Is in a very bad way according
to the beliefs Of authorities on this
subject.
1t is known that neither Of these
generals 10 IN the least degree
hostile to foreign interests, and they
have permitted it to become privately
known to oil producers that they will
receive full protection should an at
tack on the city be contemplated.

Doubt Not General.

This feeling Of doubt regarding the
truth Of the reports OF Zapatas
death does not exist generally among
officials of the State Department. In
fact, it was announced by one Of the
highest officials that it has received
an unofficial report to the effect that
there Is no question about the truth.
1t is remarked by one Latin Ameri-
can diplomat that, during the month
Of August. 1913, while Carranza was
on his way from Piedras Negras, his
to Sonora, the Huerta government re-
peatedly claimed his death. asserting
that he had been killed and buried in
the state of Durango.
Whether Zapata is dead or alive,
that fact will make no difference in
the Mexican situation, according to
those who speak authoritatively, as II
is explained by them that the great
danger to the Carranza government
does not come from the south. but
from the north, where quiet but ac-
tive preparations are taking place to
overthrow the government. Reports
would indicate that the great ma
jority Of the people living in Chihua-
hua and Durango, as we'll as north
western Coahilla are in favor Of the
revolutionary movement. According
to letters recently received here from
Chihuahua, the Villa FORCES control
practically the entire state, with the
single exception of the cities along
the railroad between Juarez and Tor
reon. This bandit ia said to be we'll
supplied with horses. arms and am
munition and is only waiting for the
proper moment to strike q hard blow
at the government.
