2 The' state department says
that the action of the British ad
mial, St. Christopher Craddock,
and his entire staff Jn making ja
formal call of the constitutionalist
general, Gon tales, may be regard
ed as a recognition by Great Bri
tain of the belligerency of the
constitutionalists. A similar step
on. the part of the United States is
expected in a few days.
3 The failure of Huerta to ex
plain the fate of Consul Sillimail
and Private Parks has brought
about a situation so acute that orf
ders for the mobilization of more
troops at Galveston for Vera Cruz?
are expected. .
; " r -
4 Ihe feeling in Washington is
strong that the president is about
to address a communication to
congress on .the subject.
Concerning reported compromise
proposals by HuertX, the opinioB
of the administration is that Huef
ta is in no position to dictate terms i
to any body. yj
The loss of Tampico and of Tux
tarn the latter being '.credited asE
renaDie news loaay ;, manes n ai
tlie more useless, in the view, of
the president's advisers, for Huer
ta to endeavor to temporarize by
the suggestion of terms to the
United States,
The probable recognition by
Great Britain of the belligerency
of the constitutionalists is of great
significance particularly in . view
of the fact that Great Britain was
one of the foreign nations to rec
ognize Huerta in the first instance.
The belief here that the United
States also is about to recognize
the belligerency of the constitu
tionalists is strengthened by the
knowledge that this government
was about to take such a step sev
eral months ago, but the murder
of 'William Benton, a British sub
ject, so cdmplicated matters , that
it was postponed.
Although the Huerta representa-t
tives to the mediation party at
Niagara Falls arrived in Washing
ton today with; considerable pomp
and elaborate preparations are
being made for the conference
which will begin on Wednesday,
officials of the state, war and navy
departments, excepting Secretary
Bryan, appear to be more firmly
convinced than ever that nothing
will come of mediation. The oph
ion of officials is that the failure
of Huerta to give satisfactory an
swer to the demands of this gov
ernment lor information concern
ing the fate of Silliman and Ed
ward Depew Dors ter, the inter
national News: Service correspond
ent, and Private Parks has put
