That the Government fears further rebel attacks was shown by the ship ment to-day of 2.000,000 rounds of ammunition for use by the Federal* at Tampico and Tuxpam. General Maas commander of the Vera Cruz garrison, was ordered to send all the men he could spare with the ammunition to reinforce the Tarn pico and Tuxpam garrisons.
