These Instructions wero nrai issued in Aiay, 1912, and during the past two years the co-operation haa resulted In the detection and 'suppression or many ; Area. y State and Federal forest officers will make a special .effort this year to get even more value out of the service than has been obtained heretofore. The usual procedure has been for the State fire wardens or Federal forest officers to send, to the postmasters lists of local wardens and patrolmen, with their addresses and telephone numbers. These lists are given to tho carriers with instructions to report foroet fires lo men whose namee appear thereon, or to other responsible persons. This year a special effort will be made to follow up the sending out of the lists by having the patrolmen and wardens meet the Carriers personally fiml to take the initiative in arranging i such meetings, and also to map out a plan of action to be followed. " Co-operation between the rural carriers and the Federal forest officers will bo effective In the twenty states In which national forests exist and with, state forest officers In the twenty^ states which have established their own fire protective cystoma. It is expected that the services of the carriers will be particularly valuable in helping to protect the now national forest areas in l the Southern Appalachians. HERE TODAY.

We shal listen to the proposals of the South American mediators and decide accordingly." , Brownsville, Tex.?-Details of the 1 i fall of Tampico Wednesday were re? celved in a special dispatch by Col. ? J. Ricaut, commander In Matamo ros. i The federal force under General I Zaragoza fled under cover of a down pour of rain, being followed by tha \ forces of Gen. Pablo Gonsales and i General Luis Caballero. s Ten cannon and 14 machine guns t were placed to the north of the oity i on Monday night by the constitui lionallets, the official version said. s i ucBuay morning a neavy nre rrom - the machine guns was poured into i llio defending federal forces. The i constitutionalists' cannon played i havoc, it was said, with th - ?ntire i federal entrenchment. The roar of i the 10 cannon -at Tampico was al3 most continuous from the opening of the final assault on Tuesday morn- ;ai ing 'until the federals fled in dls- ^ \ order yesterday afternoon. The federal gunboats aeened to have lost tholr effectiveness and the constitutionalists claim tbey paid little attention to them in the latter part of the flght. Two of the federal gunboats fled down the Panuco river. Today's reports said that one gunboat was aground last night, al' though It was not in action, k The last constitutionalist attack f on Tampico began under the leadership of Gen. Luis Caballero early In April. Immediately after the cap ture of Monterey. Gen. Pablo Gont yules began moving his troops to the assistance of Caballero. A large number of Tampico oil - men who have gathered here said they would start for the T&mpto fields at once, feeling sure they would . be safe. They are very uneasy P about their properties there, but felt o hopeful when reports were received m * that, although much oil was lost, - there were no fires. e The total dead on sides were eso timated at about 300, from reports - received in Matamoros. The. con>t stitutiona'.lsts lost one officer killed. * with two or three wounded.

'S There was no indication from reiB ports received that any of them were fired during the assault on the city. 1 The total force of constitutionalists ? that took part in the attack on the S city numbered about 7,000 men uns dor Generals Paolo Gonzales and ** Luis Caballero, Cesarlo Castro and ??
