Washington, Nov. 27—The rout of the I
federals near Juarez by the constitutional-
is forces and a wireless report from Rear i
Admiral Fletcher, indicating that conditions
in the oil regions near Tuxpam were not
as threatening as previously had been re-
ported, held the interest of official Wash-
ington today in the Mexican situation.
The wireless message to the navy depart-
ment from Admiral Fletcher, who left Vera |
Cruz on the battleship Rhode Island late
Monday night with John Lind, the special
American envoy, to investigate alleged ’
threatening conditions in the oil districts I
of Tuxpam and Tampico,brought evident |
relief to officials here. The admiral’s report I
regarding the Tuxpam field, where British i
and American interests are situated, gave
indications that no immediate aggressive
action on the part of the United States to
furnish protection would be necessary.
Though no official report'has yet come with
relation to the Tampico district, the belief -
here is that the situation there will be
found similarly controlled.

The border situation as a result of the
vigorous operations near Juarez and the
possibility of another siege of the border I

The Red Cross authorities find it easier
to care for the wounded Mexicans in Amer-
ican territory than to enter into the inter-
national negotiations which would be neces-
sary in order to cross the boundary and it
is also known that facilities for the care of
the wounded in Juarez are entirely inade-
qute. The Mexican Red and White Cross
organizations are disorganized and officials
here say there is no authoritative agency in j
