NEWS OF THE WEEK.

THERE is little to record in foreign affairs, except that Friday morning's news indicates that Tampico has at last fallen into the hands of the Constitutionalists. The fight seems to have been particularly stubborn and to have involved great loss of life, but it ended in General Huerta's troops being forced to evacuate the city. If the news of the taking of Tampico is confirmed, as we do not doubt it will be, the moral effect of the victory will be great. The control of the oil districts by the rebels will also be a considerable material asset in their favour.
