Washington, June 17-The Huerta

The naval battle was witnessed by

Part Of Grew Rescued.
The engagement took place last
night off Topolo bampo and word came
to the navy department today. Some
OF the crew of the Tamptco were res
cued by the New Orleans. which had
n ccompanied the Guerrero yesterday.
Others were rescued by the Guerrero.
The surgeon of the New Orleans gave
aid to the wounded and assisted in the
care Of the injured on both Sides CO.
operating with the staff of the federal
gunboat.
The report that the Tampico was
sunk had not been verified but 1t was
certain she was oaCiy disabled. This
Is the second time the constitutionalis:
warshp has suffered at the hands OF
the federal navy. The Tampico was
sunk on June II. and only yesterday
was repaired so that she could move
under steam.
Guerrero Lagest Ship.
The Guerrero is nearly twice the size
of the Tampico and her ordnance is at
least 80 per cent more powerful.
Both vessels were designed as COM
bination gunboats and transports to
meet the peculiar needs of Mexican
service and We're able 10 carry about
500 men in the case Of the Guerrero
and ESQ on the Tampco.
II is believed by stan officers here
that the victorious Guerrero. now that
she has destroyed the principal naval
strength of the constitutioralists on
the west coast, will be able greatly to
interfere with their siege operations
against Mazatlan and even as far north
as Guaymas.
