boarded a train at Philadelphia

On her arm her mother saw six lit

; The dispatch to the State Depart-
ment was dated the 26th yesterday,
indicating the seizures took place on
the preceding day, Sunday.
Officials here expressed some sur
prise that the ransom money de-
manded, $4,000 pesos. is so small. Fiji
teen thousand pesos amounts to only
about $500, an absurdly small
amount in comparison with the mag
nitude OF the operation.
Fears are held here for the safe
ty of the American prisoners Re-
cent reports from Tampico have told
OF friction between Americans work
ing in the oil fields and Mexican
soldiers who are not members of the
federal army. 1t is thought z seri-
GUS outbreak is extremely likely at
Tampico unless troops of the Mexi-
can government can reach there in
time to dispense General Gorozabe's
men, who are now in complete con-
troll Of the situation.
Consul Shaw's dispatch did not
give the names of the Americans
held, but It was assumed by State
Department officials today that all
Of them are either employed by the
oil company concerned or affiliated
with the industry.
Complicates Amity.
The seizure of American citizens
and American property on such
wholesale scale. coming as it does
on top of the abduction of A. Bruce
Bielaski, former head of the Bureau
of Investigation, Department of JUS
tice, cannot fail to aggravate the
whole Mexican situation, officials
said. The news of the Tampico
coup came at the very time the
American embassy in Mexico City
vas making vigorous representa-
tions to the Mexican foreign office
in the Bielaski case.
That administration officers re-
garded the case with some anxiety
