FEOERA[S VICTORIOUS OVER

Assault by Government Gunb0ats
Too Heavy for Insurgents and
They Retire to Discreet Distance
to Avoid Shells

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-After
four days of fierce fighting. the
Mexican federal garrison at the sea-
port of Tampico, reinforced by the
arrival of gunboats with troops, am
munition and dynamite, has driven
the attacking rebels out of range Of
their guns.
With cessation of hostilties,
medical officers from the United
States gunboat Tacoma and the
scout cruiser Chester, are ashore in
the military hospital helping to care
for more than 200 wounded
This information was contained in
dispatches from Rear Admiral Flet-
cher to the navy department. The
last message was dated 10 p. m. Sat-
urday when the firing had ceased
and the rebels had withdrawn The
message was sent by wireless from
1ampico to Vera Cruz, where it was
cabled in cipher to Washington via
Galveston, which accounts for its
slow transmission.

Of FARMER
UNION PRAISES
N.R.HEARST

LOS ANGELES, June 16.-"The
Hearst newspapers have been stead
fast friends of the Farmers Union,
and have given US invaluable as
sistance. The personal interest of Mr..
Hearst and the splendid editorial and
other help of John Temple Graves
have done much to enable US to &C
complish what we have done"
This was the assertion of Charles
S. Barrett of Union City, Ga, presi-
dent of the great and rapidly grow
ing Farmers Union. who in ten years
has become one of the most potent
personalities in American life. Mr.
Barrett was in Los Angeles Sunday
He will leave this evening for San
Francisco, on his way to Basin, Wyo.,
and Bismarck, n. Oak, to attend
farmers conventions.
Mr. Barrett is the guiding genius
Of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union, which has $4,000
local lodges and 100000 members.
Union Awakened Dixie.
Our organization is built on the
principle of education and co-opera-
ton among farmers" said Mr. Bar
rett yesterday. The South was back
ward in agricultural development, but
there has been a great awakening
and the Farmers Union, in many
ways, has been the greatest flnancier
in the change. The union was first
mainly a Southern organization, but
our greatest growth now is in the
Middle West
The South has depended almost
wholly on cotton The union taught
the farmers the necessity of growing
other things; raising their own hay,
grain and meat, and this diversity of
production is one Of the foundation
stones of our new prosperity.
My own State of Georgia was far
down in the list of States, but so re-
markable has been the progress made
that the Government reports place It
fourth in agricultural products now.
Educate the Farmers.
I'VE try to educate the farmers and
then to bring them into cooperation
in any direction feasible. We have
not started many stores In the South
the lodges built and operate ware
houses; in the West, packing plants
and elevators.
we do not run for Office or nomi-
nate candidates. We have not a thing
to do with partisan politics, but we
retire a man now and then to private
life Just by way of example"

Good Progress Made
By the Cotton Crop

MEMPHIS, June 16.-Reports from
the Cotton Exchange to-day shows the
cotton crop throughout the South to
be generally good. Recent heavy rains
have produced new strength in the
plant. and the fields are clean Of weeds.
Labor is plentiful, and, as the planters
are forced to meet fewer claims than
usual, they win make more money than
they have in many years.
The acreage IN corn throughout Ten
nessee. Mississippi and Arkansas has
greatly increased, and while more cot
ton is planted, the report says farmers
have utilized thousands Of acres Of waste
lands.
