BY International News Service.

Mexico City, Jan. 16.-Three rebel
gunboats today are blockading Tam
pico. the greatest petroleum export
port of Mexico. The gunboats are
patroling off the Tampico harbor. It
is understood they arrived from Vera
Cruz yesterday.
Complications are foreseen IL the
rebel gunboats interfere with tank
steamers owned by American petro-
leum companies.
A naval battle may be fought off
Tampico for the first time In more
than half a century il the Obregon
government, as is hoped here, Is able
to acquire warcraft to combat the
rebel gunboats.
1t was understood the Obregon gov
ernment attempted to purchase five
small cruisers from the United

Nearly $4,000 troops. comprising the
total fighting strength of both fed
erals and rebels, face each other on
60.mile battle line between La Pie

the high quality of the SO men and

This fact was especially true of the

The meetings of the committee pro
vided wholesome sight and one in
spring confidence in contemporary
American life and the national des-
