WASHINGTON Dec 20.—The Navy Department has determined, in view of the importance of the Tam pico situation, to keep all the vessels there which were assigned to the protection of foreigners in that city. The American vessel Chester and the British cruiser Suffolk, which went to Vera Cruz, have been or dered back to Tampico. What navy officials say privately is that it is not to be expected that the J which recenly attacked Tampico will give up the struggle, and that on the contrary* Tampico, so far as Huerta and his rivals are concerned, is the key of the situation. Admiral Fletcher, it is true, report ed, in a dispatch dated 5 o’clock yes terday at Tampico, that conditions were normal. The State Department, however, admits that it has "rumors’* of the renewal of the attack on Tam pico and that these "rumors" are not confined to newspaper reports. The action of the Navy Department in sending back the Chester instead of withdrawing one-half of the ships from Tampico, as intended a day or two ago, shows that another and per haps a more serious situation is to be developed. One of the officials, in fact, said that the world would not tolerate a repetition at Tampico of what was done by Villa, evidently with the ap proval of Carranza, at Chihuahua. The Spanish Ambassador in Wash ington has very clearly proved that Villa had no Justification for his de portation of Spanish subjects on the ground that they were conspiring against the Mexicans. It Is pointed out that General Villa told perhaps more than he Intended to tell when he said that the Spanish were removed because of the fear of a "massacre." This shows to department officials, as well as to others, that the bandit ar my of Villa and of Carranza can not be controlled by their leaders. Both the White House and the State Department agree that no rep resentations were made to this Gov ernment by Huerta that he would re sign within ten days under certain conditions. It is also denied that President Wilson or the State De partment decline to consider the of fers of General Huertn. Most offi cials here construe the original sug gestion to Huerta by John Lind as being one requiring Huerta to elimi nate himself entirely from the Mex ican Government unconditionally. ing bonds, leaving nothlnR for wnr and ordinary current expenses. Xatera’s rebels in the State of Za catecas are moving south toward tne the State capital They now hold the railway north of Oalera. An at tack on the capital of the State Is ex pected U any moment. The Government has reported that the Zapatistas who have been active in the suburbs of the capital have de parted for Morelos, but the truth is that they are quite as numerous as ever in the suburbs. Zapata himself is reported to have ventured into the city twice to visit a former sweet heart. A passenger train on the Mexican Central Railroad was wrecked at Chintepec station, in the State of Guantajara. The engine and all the cars of the train were overturned. No details concerning the number of killed and injured have been received. The wreck Is said to have been caused by rebels. Former Atlanta Court Bailiff Re leased From Parish Prison at New Orleans.

Realizing the impossibility of cap turing the country from the rebels, Vietoriano Huerta has ordered the remnants of his army, now at OJina- ga, to begin a campaign of destruc tion that will make the States of Chihuahua and Coahuila untenable for Pancho Villa and his followers. Villages are to be laid waste ind forms made desolate. The campaign will be similar to that waged several months ago against Zapata in South ern Mexico. Particular attention Is to be paid the Mormon colonies in the vicinity if Casfls Grandes. Inez Salazar, the Socialist general, has been chosen by Huerta to command the column of destruction that will march against the Mormons. Two years ago, during the Orozco revolution, Salazar destroyed much of the Mormons’ property and forced them to flee to the United States. Salazar’s orders, as learned here, are to march from OJlnaga to Casas Grandes, sweeping a path twenty miles wide the entire distance. Everything in this path will be de stroyed. No attack will be made on Juarez at the present time, the idea simply being to make the northern portion of the State untenable. While Salazar is thus engaged Pas- eual Orozco will proceed up the Con ches River from OJlnaga, through Cu- chillo Parado, to Santa Rosalia, where i junction will be formed with Gen erals Valadeo and Navarette, from Torreon. The combined armies then will attack Chihuahua City. Both irmies will destroy everything possi ble on their marches to Santa Rosa- Felix Diaz Denies Part In New Mexican Revolt. Special Cable to The American. HAVANA. Dec. 20— Felix Diaz to day emphatically denied the report that he is in any way connected with the reported attempt **to organize a new revolution in Northern Mexico under the leadership of Emilio Vas- quez Gomez and with the aid of Pas- cual Orozco, now commander of the division of the Federal army in Chi huahua. < "The report ia not true," said Gen eral Diaz. "I have no idea of enter ing into any plot to seize the reins of government in Mexico. I am for constitutional government and shall abide by constitutional rights. I be lieve General Huerta is fast nearing the end of his resources. He is trav eling In circles.” General Diaz said he did not think Carranza capable of coping with the situation as he has not been able to control his own force. He said he be lieved the Wilson Administration to be friendly to Mexico. ONLY GIVE PRACTICAL GIFTS—they’re most appreciated.
