WOULD DESTROY ENTIRE CITY Floating Flames Would . Devastate City and . Destroy Shipping as Well as Prevent Protec tion by Gunboat. Mexico City, Nov. 26. "Remove the gunboat Bravo or we shall fire on the oil tanks in the city of Tarn pico and along the banks of the river above." This threat, according to private information here, was sent' to the commander 'of the Federals at Tampico yesterday. So long as the garrison at Tampico is aided, by the guns or the Bravo, which is anchored Un the river just off Fiscal Yier; . there appears, to be little chance of the rebels to capture and hold the city. But they might easily shoot up the tanks of oil, esti mated at 100,000 barrels, snouia tne oil in the tanks up river be fired the floating flame would be carried into the heart of the city, most effectually remove the menace offered by the gunboat; destroy all shipping and pro bably a fair part of the town. That the rebels will carry out their threat is regarded by some of the offi cials here as by no means improba ble, although foreigners owning prop erty in the neighborhood of Tampico are depending on the promises of the rebels not to molest the wells or tanks. . , Advices from Tuxpam, or Tampico are meagre because the lines of com munication are interrupted. Practi cally the only method of communica tion is by wireless from the warships to Vera Cruz. . Campaign Against Tampico. - There is a growing belief here that the campaign inaugurated by the reb els against Tuxpam is really directed against Tampico. It is suggested that the rebels have sought to attract attention to the approach upon Tux-? pam from which the advance ngainst- Tammco might be. overlooked- t of the"- rehe forces; is at ..Xamiahuay about half - way - between . the- two ports. At Tampico thereare said to be about -800 Federals supported by the gunboat Bravo. The war depart ment has announced : that Gen. Joa quin Maas, will proceed at an early date with reinforcements for , Tam pico. , . - There is iio prospect of a resump tion of traffic over the main line . of the National Railway. The rebels who blew up a train recently south of Saltillo, also' destroyed several bridg es. Between Carneros and Saltillo the rebels have concentrated in force, placing in a difficult situation the Fed erals under Gen. Velasco, who were dispatched from Saltillo to re-capture Torreon, all communication with the capital has teen cut. A serious situation again has devel oped in Morelos and adjacent States through the re-appearance of the ban dit forces under Emiliano and Eu femio Zapata. " - The orders of the Zapata men are said to be to burn every hacienda they pass and inaugurate a campaign of destruction more vigorous than ever. . . . . In the Mexican capital-the organi zation representing the. European col onies, the members of which have banded together for possible' defense, is working : quietly and expeditiously.'! The foreign residents hopeto agree upon some locality . where, tney may. concfatrate -if - necessary1 and j which will be regarded as A neutral ' zone. Steps have been -taken to -procure a thousand head of beef catle100 milch cows, 1,500 sheep and food in" suffi cient quantities to keep them' for sev eral weeks. - ' ' . . . .." Return to Juarez." El Paso, Texas; .Nov 26. One hun dred and eighty -four Wounded men are in the Juarez hospitals tonight as a result of the unsuccessful Federal attack on Juarez. Pancho Villa, and 6,000 rebel troops are back in Juarez. South of Juarez for 18 or 20 miles' there are no rebel soldiers. Villa says he has some further south and that the city is well guarded against a re-appearance of the enemy. Villa captured a number of Federal field pieces and a military. He said yesterday that he captured 500 Fed erals. Today he brought less than 200 to Juarez. . He admits executing some of them.' Apparently the great est number Of 'dead as a result of the fighting are those who faced the firing squad and paid the penalty of support ing the Huerta cause rather than that of Villa, Madero or Caranza. A trip over the battlefield today, revealed only a few bodies. .. - '- ' ' Plenty of empty '' cartridge shells and exploded shrapnels were-' found on the field. Two newly made graves were seen near Mesa,' where Villa had his headquarters and two bodies were placed on a train at; Mesa late this afternoon, by rebel soldiers. The hands of both 'bodied were tied and each evidently had died at the bands of executioners. These were the only dead of evidences of " dead seen on the field. - - J Rebel soldiers - explained that the Federal dead had been gathered . up and buried and. they pointed .off be yond the hills. If there were many Federal dead as a result of the bat tle, other than executions, the rebels carried them a great distance across the country to bury them. There were more dead than was ap parent' here, for rebels with spades came in from remote sections of the field, but the death-list is not heavy. The general belief is that most, of the men who filled the graves were men who were shot after capture. Execute Prisoners. The rebels admit executing prison ers who had volunteered for -service with the Federals..

' (Special Star Telegram.) 1 Washington, November 26. it is stated here tonight that the death , of Presidents W. W. Finley and T. M Emerson will seriously retard the set tlement of the rate controversy in North 'Carolina. According to those who . are . supposed to know, it was through the efforts of Messrs. Emer son -and Finley. that the roads .were ahle to agree to any settlement at all. The appointment of successors to these two men, therefore, may have a good or bad effect upon the final ad justment which is to be made through the confmission just appointed by Gov ernor Craig. The Southern has over 1.500 miles of railroad and the Coast Line a little over 1,100 miles in North Carolina, nence these two roads are the domi nant factors in the rate fight. The appointment of official heads for these. two railroads, therefore, wjll be great interest to . me state. i ne regular meeting of the board of direc tors of the Southern is two weeks from tomorrow, though a special meeting may be called to elect a successor to Mr. Finley. $75 A MONTH CLERK TAKES QUARTER MILLION.
