A big battle seemed Imminent at Tampico today between strong forces of Mexicuu reb els and federals. Having approved General Huorta's acts as president nnd dictator, Mexico's congress was expected to annul tho last election this afternoon and porhaps ratify a big railroad concession to a Belgian company. Mexico City diplomats smiled at Huerta's boaBt that he- would stick to his present post for a year, believing1 ho knows as well as any one that his reglmo's end Is near. i Reports that Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland had offered to mediate In Mexico and that lluerta had refused wan skeptically received. I It developed that when British oil producers cancelled their contracts to supply the Mexican National Rail ways with fuel, they did It merely to please the rebels nnd that the rail ways will continue to get their fuel oil. I News that Antonio Caballero, north Mexican millionaire, had boon shot for plotting against the rebels pro duced n painful Impression among Mexico City officials, who feared their turns would come next. I President Wilson's message to con gress was suppressed at Vera Cruz. General Villa nnnonneed that he ntid his rebel forces would occupy, Chihuahua City tonlsht or tomorrow.' Survivors of tho federals who fled from Chihuahua City were expected at thft border this afternoon, but many were said to hnve died on th road. TEXAS SVTFFRS GREAT DAMXC.E FROM FLOOD Austin. Texas, Doc. 3. Texas to-; day was experiencing Its worst flood In 12 years. Several small towns were practically wiped out. do?ens of acres of land were Inundated, levees were broken, bridges were washed out and hundreds of families hud been driven from their homes. So tar as known here, only 11 persona had been drowned. A dis patch from Dallas placed the figure at 20, however. Communication was nearly stopped into the stricken re- gion, too, owing to the collapse of many lines of telegraph, and it was feared that fullor reports would! greatly lengthen the death roll. The damage was done mainly in the valleys of the Colorado, Brazos and Trinity rivers, which, swollen by 36 hours of torrential rains, were far out of their banks. The Bra'zoB was at the 38-foot stage, according to Dallas' advices, and the Colorado had reached the 26-foot mark, and was still rising rapidly.
