E Mexico City, Jan. 4.?The federal ** success at Nuevo Laredo, the good showing made by the federals at Ojlnaga, the reported evacuation by " the rebels of Durango, upon the ap- e< proach of government troops and the J*1 failure of the revolutionists to renew lE r the attack on Tampico are pointed to by government officials here as auguing well for the fulfillment of * President Huerta's recent promise P for the early domination of the revo- a! lutlonlst situation. pi The threatened attack on San rc Luis Potosi has failed to develop, both private and government advices ^ indicating this plan has been aban- p dcned for the present, the rebels re- tiring to the north. The Tampico line is still out of cy commission, however, and an oil famine is threatening to cause suspension of railroad service and the factories. SHORT OF AMMUNITION. SI In all the developments of the past few days the federal authorities see Indication of a serious shortage of ammunition on the part of the revo. Iutionists, of which they declare they will take full advantage and push the war with greater vigor. >'* The revolutionists under General of Contreras, and General Urbina, who have been in possession of Durango ' since early summer, are reported to have withdrawn northward to San- Ik tiago Papasqulro, about 80 miles distant, where they have established a st new rebel capital. They are said to I tli have realized the impossibility of er making a stand against the federal to forces now marching from Torreon re Several thousand troops, many of w them recruits, have gone out from ni the capital In the last week. It is I ta understood most of them will be ' at utilized in a campaign against Di Chihuahua. _ lor MEXICO IS SORRY. ti: The announcement that President Wilson's policy probably would re- . main unchanged after John hind's trin to Pass Christian is a source of disappointment to most foreigners of and many Mexicans who believed the 'e interview between the President and his personal representative might re- ' suit in some definite step to put an m end to the distressing conditions, w' which, so far as business is concern- %Vl ed. are fast growing acute. ns To official Mexico, while outwardly va Mr. Lind's visit to the President was of little significance, the apparent de- c' termination of the United States still st to keep 'ts hands off is known to be st highly gratifying. One official summarized the relation with the United 1,1 States: ot "The best Mexico expects of Wash- t>r ington is to be let alone to work out aI Its problem." T1 In spite of the critical financial outlook the administration appears to di be highly optimistic. President Huerta regards the floating of a foreign th loan as far from a vain hope. The ?a premature announcement recently of P' assurance from the Mexican finance minister Sunnr In Rnrnr iwui* in Europe (hat he had Induced the ao- Qj ceptance by English and French bankers of bonds amounting to $25,( 000,000, is now explained as incor- ' rect interpretation of the codqt used in the cablegram. The finance do- >1 partment. however, declared that the minister's efforts are progressing fa- j vorahly and that there is reason to believe he soon will be successful. The banking situation shows little improvement and the scarcity of coin of for ordinary trading is working hard. se ship on business. fr KEIIEIaS IN VKIIA CRl'Z. to An Attack on Tampiro Is Regarded sh as Certain. la Vera Cruz, Jan. 4.?Uneasiness is th or/wi'lnor nn Qooniin r\t Inornnon In o . r? wii Hvvwtiiiv "? iiiv* vhhu in an number of rebel bands In the state of Vera Cruz, along both the Mexl- fe can and Inter-Oceanic railroads be- ? tween Vera Cruz and the capital.
