Federal Gunboats Have Anchored In
Pamico River Under General 1
Huerta's Insvruetiona.
Washington. General Huerta's ac
tion, suspending the order to blockade
Tampico against the delivery of am
munition ' by. the, steamer Antilla I to
the . Constitutionalists', served to dis
pel apprehension over a new- crisis
between the United States and the
Huerta government which had threat
ened mediation of Mexican affairs.
. Though Washington .officials ex
pressed satisfaction over Huerta s
action, it was persistently suggested
unofficially that the blockade ' had
been suspended only conditionally as
a result 01" conferences between tne
South American mediators and the
Mexican and 'American delegates .
Niagara Falls. It also was said the
Antilla might be diverted in her course
through an agreement with officials of
the Ward Line, her owners and an
American corporation.
President Wilson and Secretaries
Bryan and Daniels gave evidence' of
great relief over the date develop
ments which temporarily at least,
nave averted another clash at arms.
From no official source was there con
firmation of reports that Huerta had
no understanding with the mediators
or the United States whiA" would, as
sure him that the Antilla s cargo
would not be delivered. Meanwhile
nothing has been heard; from the. An
tilla; which is due to arrive off Tampi
co Wednesday morning V ( ? v . - v
secretary Bryan was first informed
of Huerta's - suspension of the block
ade order by Mr. Riano, the ' Spanish
ambassador, early in the day.! The
Secretary declined to discuss reports
from Niagara Falls that General
Huerta had merely suspended his
blockade order at the request, of the
South American mediators, pending
settlement of questions relating to an
armistice. ,
One important question said to have
been raised at Niagara Falls was
whether the United States construed
the mediation agreement to obligate
it to prevent arms entering Tampico
which the Huerta government had de
clared closed. If the United States
did not so construe the cessation of
hostilities, which ,it was assumed
would be' held inviolate, the mediators
are said to have wanted to know
whether this government would con
sider it a breach of faith should
Huerta's gunboats attempt to stop the
Antilla's cargo of ammunition for Car
ranza's forces.

What Will Happen When Ammunition
Ships Reach Mexican Waters is
a Mystery.
If Agreement Can Secure That. He
says He Will Be Satisfied by Other
Method. : ; .
Niagara Fallsi No conditions are
attached to Gen. Huerta's promise to
resign the Mexican presidency as
soon as his country Is "politically pac
ified" His delegates to the mediation
conference took occasion to say pub
licly that he does not intend to hide
behind technicalities, r
The Mexican delegation had con
cluded that its recent statement set
ting forth the attitude of Gen. Huerta
towards demands for his retirement
was misinterpreted in some quarters.
It had been said that under the lan
guage of his pledge to retire when
the country was politically pacified,
Gen. Huerta might insist on holding
office until all guerilla ' bands were
dispersed. On that account another
statement was issued by -the Huerta
delegation. It reads.
"Mr. Rabaza, of the Mexican dele
gation has been asked what is the
interpretation given by the Mexican
delegates to the word 'politically' in
the statement declaring that. Gen.
Huerta is prepared to withdraw pro
vided that at the time of his with
drawal 'Mexico shall be politically
pacified'; and if he thinks that an
agreement between the two contend
ing parties would not be considered
as' fulfilling Gen. Huerta's condition.
"To the above, question Mr. Ra
baza answers that the expression
used by the delegation does not mean
that Gen. Huerta xdeFiandsril inatef
rial pacification of the country " nor
the dispersal of the last of the groups
of bandits which overrun many paTts
of it, making the revolution a pretext
for their lawlessness; but, that peace
shall be assured by. political means
