Washington. May 15.-The first de-
tails of the fall of Tampico late
Wednesday were received here in dis
patches to the navy department and
to the Constituencies agents. The
total killed is placed at 800.
The final assault on the city began
Monday night when ten cannon and
fourteen machine guns were wheeled
into position on the northern out
skirts of the stronghold.
From that time until the two thou
sand men in the federal garrison I'M
der General Zaragoza fled under cover
of pownpour of rain the roar of the
cannon was almost continuous.
The Constitutionalists' big guns, it
is said, played havoc with the entire
federal entrenchment, finally forcing
two of Huerta's gunboats to retreat
down the Panuca river
With the danger of the warships'
guns removed Generals Gonzales and
Louis Calellero hurled their entire
force of 1000 Constitutions2ists against
the federal entertainments while their
cannon poured a deadly &c into the
city itself
Under the combined attack the fed

The streets of Tampico are patrolled
by the Constitutionalists. Invitations
have already been issued to foreign
ers to return to their business affairs
under guarantee of protection.
In dispatch to the navy depart
ment Admiral Mayo said the Ameri-
can warships had again steamed up
the river from the outer harbor and
that all was quiet in the city.
