With Tam I Pico occuppied it is expected that part J of Mexico -will cease almost immedi ! ately to be the scene of constitutional ! 1st operations except for the part the J port will play as a base for supplies. ; The government has already declared it a, closed port. ; Including Matamoras, the constltu ; tlonallsts now have In their possession : three ports north of Vera Cruz, j To the west of Tampico the only fed- erals are those who evacuated Tarn j Pico, and they appear to be in a hoe- less position. Retreating along the ; railroad toward San Luis Potosi, they at confronted by large forces control . ling the region south and east of Ce- reytos, about half way to San Luis Po tosi. In their rear is a strong detach- ment sent forward by General Pablo Gonzales from his army holding Tam pico. The federals are believed to have slight chance of escape, Rebel Control Is Complete. With this band disposed of the con . stitutionalists will be in control west ward to the line which runs from Sal tillo south to San Luis Potosi. The only communication with the United States from Tampico by rail or telegraph is In a roundabout way through Monterey. Monterey is con nected by rail and wire from Saltillo and San Luis Potosi and direct commu nication wtih the United States is pos sible by way of Eagle Pass or Laredo. The constitutionalists are known to be short of ammunition. In the ad vance on Baltillo and San Luis Potosi they will encounter many obstacles because of the nature of the country. Vessel Regularly Cleared, The. steamer Mexicano arrived here today from Tampico with a big cargo of oil, which was greatly needed for the pumping works and for use by the railway ' engines. The Mexica.no car ried clearance papers for Vera Cruz, Issued by the constitutionalist custom officer of Tampico, and this is taken as an .indication that an orderly gov ernment has been established there.

Special contributions are being levied ' by the constitutionalists at Tampico on foreigners as well as natives. No re ceipts are given nor are any promises of repayment made. The contributions are not even designated as taxes which might be applied upon later assess ments. Some of the foreigners there have protested against the levy. ItEBELS CRY "VIVA WILSON." President Coupled Willi Carranza by Victors at Tampico. VERA CRUZ, May 17., A heavy rain storm which flooded the trenches and blew blinding torrents into the faces of the federals contributed much to their defeat at Tampico. according to Americans who have come here from that port. The constitutionalists took advantage , of this and poured a terrific fire into them, forcing them back from the out posts Into the town. Immediately the federals began entraining. The constitutionalists came into the town shooting in the air and shouting: "Viva Carranza. viva Wilson!" There was little actual disorder and little shooting. Several persons en gaged In looting were shot. The German Consul, R. Everbusch, accompanied by the American Vice Consul. Thomas P. Bevan, proceeded through the residential 'district and ,jlaced German seals on all the houses. These were not touched. In their retreat the federals opened the drawbridge on the San Luis Potosi line at the edge of the city and crip pled the mechanism. assistance of clippers, -walnut o4 and a safety razor she became a sailor. When the naval recruits at Lake (Bluff departed for New York tb embark ior vera cruz, it is believed mat tne girl was with them. A few hours be fore the detachment left the station a young woman entered the drug store of Carl Atterberry at Weukegan. She was excited and in a great hurry to be waited upon. "Be quick," she said. "I have only a minute." And this is what she purchased: A safety razor, one ounce of walnut oil, a pair of hair clippers, a briar pipe and one sack of tobacco. She carried two large packages, which appeared to con tain clothing. The girl wore a coat which reached to her shoetops. Beneath it she wore a "jackie's" blouse., The clerk who wait ed! upon her became suspicious, and when iie began questioning her she im mediately paid her bill and departed. - "The girl was buying everything we had which would make her disguise complete," said Mr. Atterberry, who-, is commissioner of public health and safety. . At Lake Bluff it is believed that the young woman successfully disguised herself and was able to avoid detection during the excitement attending the departure of the jackies. During the Spanish war, when the troops' at Kort Sheridan were ordered out, a Waukegan girl, who had a sweetheart in the regiment, costumed herself as a soldier and remained with the troops several weeks before her presence wasdetected. Authorities at Lake Bluff believe that the cass ias been duplicated. FOREIGNERS APPREHENSIVE Mexico City Nervous, Though Huerta Rides Bold I xbroad. WASHINGTON. May 17.
