els were fighting their way steadily
closer anil closer to Tnmpico today.
They sought control of the railroad
euusewny, which is the only means of
entering or lenving the city through
the swamps which surround it on tho
lund side.
The federals were relisting stout
ly, but they evidently looked to eo
the rebels tnke the euusewny mid
reach Tnmpico itself, for they were
barricading the streets nnd making
every preparation for n desperate Inst
stand. Thus far the engagement bin
consisted of a series of hot skirm
ishes. It wns believed the main hat-

rour American wnrships lay off

At the war office here it wns stat

thus far. The officials did not spec
ify the number of federals killed.
Many federal woundd were curried
into Tnmpico Inst night, however,
from the suburb of La Puerto, where
there was fighting yesterday.
Thu rebels were much better sup
plied with artillery than when they
nttaekctl Tarapico last.
Officials of the Mexican govern
