    TAMPICO, May 24.— Conditions around Tampico on account of threatened attack of rebels are regarded as so serious that the American Consul General has asked the Administration at Washington to instruct the commander of the battleship Connecticut form ally to demand from the Tampico authorities protection for the American residents. At the same time the Consul is of the opinion that the authorities are powerless to give this protection.
