' 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 him completely beyond the pale of mediation. : ' arrangement of red and white car nations, intermingled with plumo-sa,"-and the place cards were hand ;painted in Japanese design, the blev'er work of Miss Bessie Will iams. - ' m.
