to Huerta'* Forte* Curing Pre
vious Engagement.
TAMPICO, April 9.—The rebel army
is approaching this city and are lay
ing waste the country through which
they are passing. The great oil refin
ery of the Waters-Pierce company,
valued at more than $500,000, was
destroyed by the buildings being fired
and the wells dynamited.
! The rebel general claims that the
oil company rendered assistance to
thfe federal army during the'engage
ment which took place here las't fall
when the rebels were repulsed with
heavy loss. The federal troops have
evacuated the city and have gone
south to join Huerta's forces near
Mexico City.
Admiral Fletcher, commanding the
United States cruisers here, has sent
a warning to the rebel general that
the rights of foreigners in the city
must be respected. The rebels will
meet with a welcome upon their ar
rival in the city as the federal troops
have been intensely unpopular and
their withdrawal is taken as a sign
of cowardice.

chestra will furnish the music and has
secured several new pieces which

BIGGS MADE STRONG
RACE FOR COUNCIL
One of the features of the munic
ipal election last Tuesday was the
heavy vote cast for John H. Biggs
for councilman. He received a total
of 201 votes, although his name ap
peared on only one ticket the
Greater Vahfez ticket. The big vote
given him is ascribed to personal
popularity, as his name was written
on many of the ballots where scratch
ing of other canfjjjlates had been in
duiged. Had Mr. Biggs’ name been
placed on even one of the other tick
ets his election would have been as
sured. '
