eral Marshall is preparing to dump
rock at this place.
''If the river is watched constantly
and some provision made to do work
when necessary, there is no danger
of the Imperial valley becoming flood
ed"
The provision for necessary work
which Mr.. Clarke recommends has
made by the water companies who
last Saturday appropriated $4,000 for
this purpose. While it is now thought
that only small portion of this fund
will be needed, it will be on hand and
available should any unforeseen dan
ger arise.
The advisory board has employed
Mr.. Clarke to take charge of any
necessary work on the river and to
supervise the patrolling of the river
until the high water period is over.
Yours very truly, G. E. HEBER,
Secretary Imperial Mutual Water

this has just reached the Mexican west

Francisco messages. 1t is known that
Huerta was in the capital last night,
with no apparent intention of leav-

he does flee he will go to Puebla,

MAYO GIVEN WORD
TO PROTECT TAMPICO
Omitted Press Day Service)

Washington, May 14.-Secretary of
the Navy Daniels today sent a wire

ing authority to enter Panuco river,
if he sees fit, in order to relieve the
wounded at Tampico and if necessary
to aid representatives of the oil in
terests there. Mayo made an official
report to the effect that the rebels
seem to be in entire control of the
city, which the federals have exacu-
ated.

HUERTA TROOPS FLEE
TO SAN LUIS POTOSI

Washington, May 14.-Tampico ha:
fallen and is now occupied by the
constitutionalists The federal forces
evacuated the city ande are retreating
over the National Railroad of Mexico
toward San Luis Potosi, where HUI
erta probably will make his next stand
against the successful advance of the
troops of Carranza and Villa toward
Mexico City.
The fall of Tampico was one of the
most decisive battles of the Mexican
revolution. 1t marks, too, one of the
most important strategic victories
that the constitutionalists have
gained. 1t gives them an important
port on the Gulf of Mexico, the first
they have had; it puts into their
hands the most valuable oil fields il
all Mexico and it opens up source
of revenue through the customs COL
lections.
1t also gives them an important new
base for their preparations for the
march on to Mexico City. Military
experts here say though that it will
be at least six weeks before Carranza
and his followers could hope to pene-
trate from Tampico on to the capital
of the republic.
Reports tonight indicate that the
losses on both sides have been heavy.
Tampico was captured shortly after
noon. Admiral Mayo reported to Ad-
miral Badger at 1890 o'clock this aft
ernoon, who cabled the state depart
ment as follows:
"Fighting nearly over. The feder-
ais evacuate via railroad. Gunboats
not yet moved"
An hour and half after this Ad-
miral Mayo reported that the two
federal gunboats, the Bravo and lara
goza; the main dependence of the Hu-
erta forces at Tampico, left the city
and steamed out into the harbor, where
they anchored near the ships of war
of other nations.
The last skirmish occurred in the
plaza of the city, Admiral Mayo re-
ported. In the latest dispatches re-
ceived through Admiral Badger he
reported as follows:
"The rebels have occupied Tampico.
Heavy rifle fire in the plaza and also
heavy guns ashore continuing"
The navy department interpreted
these dispatches as indicating COM
plete victory for the rebels.
The story of the investment and
concerted attack upon the federal
stronghold of Tampico, as told in the
dispatches to the navy department,
indicates that only within the last
twenty-four hours have the augment
ed artillery forces of the constitution
alists been brought into action.
