Gunboat Tampico Defeated And Probably Sunk by The Guerrero Near Mazathlan. U, S. SHIPS RESCUE PART OF THE CREW Huerta's Vessel NOW Expected ' To Aid in Attempt to Lift Rebel Seiges of Ports Washington, June 17. The Huerta gunboat Guerrero defeated and prob ably sunk the constitutionalist gun boat Tampico, near Mamtlun, ac cording to a report today from Rear Admiral Howard, The captain and , chief engineer of "the Tampico com mitted' suicide. The naval battle was witnessed by the United States Bhips New Orleans, Perry and Preble. Nu details wcro re ported. A long dispatch was received at the White Houso from the American del egates at Niagara Kails which, the officials said, did not change the sit uation. Beyond expressing the view that there was hope fur the ultimate success of mediation, ofllcluui did not ' comment on the situation. Both war and state departments and the White House denied having authentic lnfor- mation of the break botweon Villa and Carranze. men in ine commence oi tne rev- n in nnnnr nvenpu nnn iti-.ri t irt been no split between the two leader and hat if Villa had seized the tele graph offices he, acted entirely upon his authority as chief of the northern ' military zone. Inasmuch as martial law is still In force, military officer rank above civilians. The report, nevertheless, aroused considerable, apprehension. A.cIomIi between the military and civilian leaders of the constitutionalist move ment, It .was pointed out, probably would result In conditions that would stir up demands for American Inter vention.' The engagement between the Guer rero and the Tampico look place last night off Topolobampo and word came to the navy department early ' .......- L- . . I , , M. pico were rescued by tho New Orleans which had accompanied the Guerrero ROUtheward yesterday. Others were rescued by tho Guerrero. Tho surgeon of the New Orleans gavo aid to tho wounded and assisted In the car of the injured on both sides, co-operating with the slufT of the federal gun boat. The report that tho Tampico had been sunk had not been verified, but it was certain she was uadly dis abled. This Is the second . timo tha constitutional let warship has suffered at tho hands of the federal navy. Thn Tumplco was sunk on June 11, and only ynsterdav was repaired so that she could move -under steam. The Guerrero in nearly twice the size of the Tampico and her ordnance Is at least fifty per cent more power ful. Both vessels were designed as combination gunboats and transports to meet the peculiar needs of Mexi can service. The Guerrero waa able to carry about 200 men and the Tampico about 150. It is believed by the officials here that the victorious Guerrero, now that she has destroyed the prinoipst naval strength nf the constitutional ists on the west coast will now be able to greatly interfere s gainst th constitutionalist siege against MazaU Ian and Guaymas.
