ObservaUona In Tampico, where he was at the time of the arrest which precipitated the Mexican climax, prompt Ogden T. Mo Clurg to draw the following conclu sions: The constitutionalists will join the federalists if war develops. Conqupst of Mexico would call for the blood. fist fighting since the civil war. All Americans and foreigners in Mexico say President Wilson erred in not recognizing Huerta. Villa and Carranza are feared and disliked more thau Huerta and they would have been suppressed but for American support. Twenty-six deaths from smallpox in four days Is the average Tampico rate. Huerta ordered the arrest of the American sailors in order to precipi tate Intervention. "Huerta Ordered Arrest" "There is no question among Amerl- Mr. McClurg, who returned to this city I yesterday, "that Huerta ordered the arrest of the party from the American man of war. It is not true, as Huerta asserted. that the whaleboat did not fly the coi rs. No boat. American or foreign, would dare put in or out without its flag. At night, in addition to the flag, the ships cover their boats with a searchlight, so that every one on shore can see what they are. Mexican hatred was running high at the time of my visit, and, since the era Crux landing, is. of course, much higher. The United States would have little trouble In capturing all the Mex ican seaports, and they could be held easily. Invasion Means Bloody War. "But to enter Mexico and subdue it will call for the bloodiest conflict since the civil war. It will mean years of guerrilla fighting. "The Mexican soldiers I saw seemed dogged and businesslike. If either the federals or the constitutionalists were making any effort to save ammunition this was not noticeable. I don't be lieve they fear running short in case of a blockade. "There is no yellow fever at Tam pico now, but every one was dreading an outbreak. The town is on the verge of an outbreak of pestilence. The rebels blew up the water works and the oil got into the wells and ruined the supply. If we have to irake a landing at Tampico there will be every danger of an outbreak of fever among the troops. Left Under Fire. ' When I left Tampico I had to board a freight steamer already under way. reaching her In a launch under fire from the rebels who held LaBarra, which is at the entrance of the river, five miles down from Tampico. "If we have to go Into Tampico, only vfssels with a draft of less than 20 feet can reach the city. There are thought to be 4,000 or 5,000 federal soldiers there. Any part of their lines could be reached easily by shell fire "The country Inland does not pre sent any particular military difficult ies.

A large quantity of rank cil poured over some 24 boxes of "strawberries was the intended means of bringing about Kopas' down rail.
