by federal troops near the Aguada
camp of the Cortez Oil company in
the Tampico district of Mexico on
June 80, according to a message
received by the state department
to-day from Consul Shaw at Tampi-
co. The latter said his information
was based upon a report he had
lreceived from Oil company officials
yesterday.
There were two actions, the con-
sui said, in which five or six rebels
were killed, three taken prisoner
and so of their horses and mules
captured. The federal troops, he
added, according to his advices,
were preparing to follow up the
rout of the rebels while other fed
eral troops, he understood, were
coming into the district.
Mr.. Shaw, in his message which
was filed at noon yesterday, did
not mention the name of the COM
