Vera Cruz Revolt Triggers Rail Cut In Mexico
Reports from May 7 describe a federal garrison revolt in Vera Cruz causing the government to relocate the Vera Cruz governor to the city and a Pan American line from Tonala toward the Guatemala border falling under rebel control. Mexican rebels cut the National Railway of Mexico near Lampaz, with telegraph lines down and reinforcements moved from Monterey toward Nuevo Laredo amid mutinous guard actions. General Reynaldo Garza reported 600 loyal police and customs remain to defend Nuevo Laredo as Monterey troops’ whereabouts were unclear. The Mexican consulate announced temporary suspension of travel and border passport use until conditions normalize.
