Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 12. News
that Tamplco had fallen Into tuo hands
of the Moxlcan rebels was received
after midnight on Monday by a battlo
ahlp In the harbor here, which picked
up a wireless message conveying the
news. The dispatch reported that tho
federal losses bad been extremely
heavy, and that all foreigners who
had remained in tho city were seeking
rofugo on tho warships In the harbor.
The British warship Essex will sail for
Tamplco Immediately to protect tho
lives and interests of British citizens.
Juarez, May 12. The most desper
ate fought battle of tho present Mexi
can revolution was fought on Sunday
at Tamplco, according to reports
reaching constitutionalist officers hero.
Some of tho oil wells and tanks
wero burned and a portion of the
town was razed by flames.
All Americans have been taken
aboard tho United States warships,
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil well district, the
section of tho battlefield that tho
United States suggested bo made a
neutral zone. Tho constitutionalist
. generals refused to adopt this sugges
tion. By the light of tho blazing oil tanks,
flred by stray shots, tho rebel artillery
men hurled shot after shot from 20
heavy field guns into tho Btrongly en
trenched position held by Gen. Ignaclo
Morales Zaragoza, in the center of the
tow,n, sweeping tho breastworks with
a hail of shrapnel in an effort to open
the way for a dash by Gon. Pablo
Gonzales' Infantry.
Tho 20 French field guns captured
by General Gonzales at Monterey and
placed in position before Tamplco
have done tremendous executlbn, the
French shrapnel bursting with the ut
most precision In sharp contrast to
the home-mado shells used by Villa
In his battles about Torreon.
Seven thousand constitutionalists
under Gen. Pedro Gonzales and Luis
Caballero wore engaged.
Reports have reached hero that a
strong force of constitutionalist cav
alry is in pursuit of Gen. Rodrlgo
Quevedo, nominally a federal who has
raided on both sides of the border,
and is driving the brigands toward the
United States line.
Vera Cruz, May 12. Peace dele
gates passing through Vera Cruz on
Sunday brought nevs that strong
forces of Zapata'B troops within a few
miles of Mexico City in the AJuaco
hills had caused tho federal soldiers
to withdraw into tho capital.
Tho populace of Mexico City Is
more panicky as the result of tho
Zapata advance than because of the
possible rupture of tho American
armistice and General Funston's move
toward the capital, which the1 better
classes consider infinitely preferable
to tho rebel chief's dreaded outrages.
Vera Cruz, May 12. President Hu
rtas three peaco commlsioners,
Emillo Rabasa Augustln Rodriguez
and Luis Elguero, arrived hero on Sun
day on their way to Niagara Falls,
Canada, where tho conference between
the mediators and tho representatives
of tho parties concerned for a settle
ment of tho difficulties between the
United States and Mexico will bo held.
Washington, May 12. Medlll Mc

News? Richard Harding Davis of tho
New York Tribune, A. J. Sutton of tho
Washington Post and Walter Whiffen
of the Associated Press, newspaper
correspondents, wfio were arrested by
General 'Huerta in Mexico City, have
Tjeen released. This Information was
Teceived by the state "department on
Sunday through the Brazilian mlnlstor
at Mexico City, Senor Oliveira.
Mexico. City, May 12. Foreign Min

orderly for Lieut Col. Elmore F. Tag
gart, who disappeared Inside of Mexi
can lines with two of Colonel Tag
gart's horses, was put to death by thd
Mexicans near Tojera. This Informa
tion, however, was not regarded as
conclusive.
Washington, May 11. Startling de
velopments took placo in tho Mexican
situation Friday. Tho City of Moxlco
was officially roported to bo in immi
nent danger of capture by tho forcoa
of Generals Zapata and Villa, aided
by revolting federal soldlors of the
command of General Velasco.
To prevent the city from being loot
ed nnd tho foreigners of all nationali
ties outraged, among them Louis d'An
tin, a clerk nnd Interpreter of tho
American embassy, President Wilson
consented to tho plan of tho army to
dispatch heavy reinforcements undor
tho command of MaJ. Gen. Leonard
Wood to Vera Cruz.
General Funston Is Impatient at the
prospect of delay. In his dispatch ad
vising tho war department of tho sit
uation, ho recommended that tho navy
hold Vera Cruz whllo ho proceed with
his command of 4,500 men to Mexi
co City.
Ho oxprcssed supremo confidence In
his nbility to mako the trip and cap
turo Huerta's capital. According to
reports, he has equipped trains with
sandbags and machino guns, nnd was
prepared to start if authorized to
do so.
Tho president, however, decided
against any such precipitate move
ment. He does not want to capture
and occupy Mexico City If It can be
avoided.
General Huerta's protest against
tho strengthening of the American
lines around Vera Cruz, taken in con
nection with the reports that General
Maos, tho Moxlcan leader, has troops
far outnumbering tho United States
In close proximity to the seaport oc
cupied by the Americans, has aroused
fears of nn attack that might result
in a catastrophe.
That tho protest of General Huerta
has not delayed peace plans was dem
onstrated, however, when the A.-B.-C.
mediators were notified by the Huerta
government that the Mexican delegates
had left Mexico City Saturday for
Niagara Falls via Vena Cruz and Key
West.
General Funston's plea for more
troop3 haa been met with the decision
to dispatch additional forces to Vera
Cruz as quickly as possible.
San Diego, Cal., May 11. Two

Mediation arrangements are going
forward in spite of tho serious aspects
of tho military situation, which com

Indianapolis, Ind., May 11. That

ticular time," was tho report on Fri
day of tho special committee to tho
International executive board o! tho
United Mine Workers of America, in

Issued. It follows in part:
"Will you eld them (the Colorado
strikers and families), In their strug

and the interests which ho represents?
The request of the president of the
United States through his personal
representative that Mr. Rockofeller
uso his influence In behalf of peace
was refused.
"When ho denied the president's re
quest, he assumed to bo bigger than
the government itself. Shall such n
condition be tolerated by a free peo
ple? Is Mr. Rockefeller and tho Inter
ests which ho represents larger and
more powerful than tho government
of the United States?"
The Colorado report vehemently at
tacks John D. Rockefeller, Jr., de
claring that he, by "ono word, favor
ing a settlement through a meeting
between tho representatives of tho

tives of tho striking employes," could
havo avoided tho loss of life and dam
