40 AMERICANS FREE,
OTHERS TAKEN CAPTIVE
Mexican Bandits Leave Aguada,
But It Is Not Known Wheth-
er Ransom Was Paid.

Washington.-Advices to the State
Department from Tampico served TO
change materially the situation in the
Mexican oil region resulting from the
holding for ransom, by rebel band, of
40 American employees of the Aguada
camp of the Cortez Oil Company, an
American-owned concern. Consul Shaw
reported that the rebel chief, Gorozave,
and his men left the camp after "a
hour stay.
The message seemed to have cleared
the air, but on its heels came another
dispatch filed by the consul, saying
that the rebels had seized the Pecera
camp of the British-owned La Corona
Company and that about half dozen
Americans were among the S5 men
held there.
In demanding 1900 pesos for the
surrender of the Pecera property and
the employees, the rebels fixed July Z
as the date by which payment must be
made Whether the $4,000 pesos de-
manded at the Aguada camp was paid
was not stated in any Of the messages
received.
The State Department promptly in
structed Charge Summerlin, at Mexico
City, to make representations in regard
to adequate protection for an American
held in connection with the new raid
on the British-owned company. Mr..
Summerlin also was directed to press
Mexican Federal authorities to capture
and punish the bandits who captured
A. Bruce Bielaski. Beyond these new
representations to the Obregon govern
ment there was no indication the State
Department intended to move at
present.
