BOatlOad, Flying American Flag,
Robbed Near Tampico-Pro-
test to CarranZa.
SITUATION is MOST GRAVE
Closely Resembles That Which
Led to Occupation of Vera
Cruz in 1914 BY United States
Troops.

Washington, July 21.-The most
serious of the recently growing list
of attacks on Americans in Mexico
came to light today.
A boat load of American sailors
from the U. S. S. Cheyenne were held
up in the Temesi river on July 6, nine
miles off the city of Tampico, and the
sailors were robbed. The American
flag was flying from the boat at the
time.
Closely resembling the attacks on
American sailors which led to the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz in 1914, the
state department did not hesitate to
regard it as a most grave affair and
Immediately dispatched urgent repre-.
sentations to the Carranza govern
ment and the local authorities at
Tampico.
Although the sailors were fishing,
they were on official duty, bringing in
food for their ship, and the American
flag flying from the boat denoted that
1t was official business.
Preliminary reports Of the attack,
reaching the navy department on July
z, did not go to the state department
until today when 1t promptly was
given out. No explanation was made
for the delay. Today Secretary Dan
iels asked for fuller report.
The incident is regarded as most
serious and charged with possibili-
ties because the Carranza forces are
in full control Of the Tampico district,
especially the city and waters about
1t, and because It comes as the climax
to long series OF recent attacks on
Americans, all OF which have been
made the subject OF increasingly urg-
ent representations to the Carrenza
government.
Since President Wilson returned
from the peace conference he has
turned his attention great deal to
the Mexican situation Various re-
ports have Been circulating in
sources In touch with Mexican affairs
that the American governments pol
icy had undergone a change, but
there has been no official indication
or announcement.
1t is known, however, that the
American troops along the border
have new set OF orders. which was
evidenced by the prompt manner in
which they crossed into Juarez and
cleaned up the fighting there when 1t
menaced Ell Paso. The extent to which
the military establishment has been
prepared to meet a situation in Mex
leo has not fully been disclosed, but
there is evidence that the government
is taking measures to be prepared
for any eventualities into which it
may be forced
1t was an incident at Tampico in
1914 which brought on the occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz. 4 boat from one OF
Admiral Mayo's ships was detained a
paymaster was arrested and jailed
and at other times messengers from
the ships were menaced ashore Cen
eral Huerta refused to apologize and
salute the American flag and the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz followed.
Officials here see in the incident OF
July the makings OF more serious
situation.

Washington, July 21.-Riots be-

late tonight in the National Capital in
retaliation for recent attacks by
blacks on white women and at 11:3O
O'Clock one negro had been killed and
four persons wounded
Police stations late tonight were
swamped with reports of clashes be-
tween mobs of whites, largely made
up of soldiers, sailors and marines,
and negroes in many different sec

was struck over the head by a marine
during one of the numerous fights on
street cars.
Crowds which moved up and down
Pennsylvania avenue between the
capital and White House despite the
presence in the city of two troops of
cavalry and 400 other armed service
men, grew more determined as the
night wore and outbreaks were re
ported more frequently.
