OUR NEUTRALITY
Does Not Permit U. S. To Let
Huerta Take Guns Away From
the Constitutionalists
(Hy Associated Press.)
Washington. Juin- K.-General Huer
ta's orders Monday suspending the or
der to blockade against Tuilipiuo
against Hie delivery ot' ammunition by
the Ant illa to the Constitutionalists, j
served to dispel apprehension over a
new erisls between thu United States
and Huerta, which hud threatened me
diation of Mexican affairs.
Though Washington ofllcials cx
prssseu satisfaction over Huerta's ac
tion, it was pO/sisteutly suggested un
officially thai the blockade hud been
suspended only conditionally us a re
sult of conferences between the Soutli
American mediator, the Mexican and
American delegates at Niagara Falls.
It also was ruid that the An'?ila
might be diverted in her course
?brough an agreement with officials
of the Ward Line, her owners, and RU I
American corporation.
President Wilson. Secretary Bryan
and Secretary Daniels gave evidence
of great relief over recent develop
ments, which temporarily, ut least,
have saved another clash of arms.
From no official source was there con
firmation of the reports that Huer- I
ta has no understanding with the me- !
diatois of Ute United States which i
would assure him that the Ant illa's car
go would not be delivered. Mean
while, nothing has been heard from
th Antills, which is due to arrive
off Tampico Wednesday morning.
Scoretary Bryun was first inform
ed of ilin a's suspension of the
blockade o.Jcr by Mr. Ulano, i lie
Spanish ambassador, early in the day
. the ..?sfcretary, d.e<:iined^t?^ moise?- re-.
reports from Niagara Falls that Gen
eral Huerta had suspended his block
ado older at the requst of the South
American mediators pending r.cttl?
mnt of the question s relating to an
?..rm ist Ice.
The Mexican gunboats Zuragosa and
Brova, followed frm Puerto, Mexico,
by the American cruiser Tacoma end
gunboat Sacramento, reached Tam
pico early today, The Mexican bouts
anchored In the Panuco river, some
dit tance from Tampico, and Hear Ad
miral Mayo conferred with their com
manders. It ls believed the order sus
pending the blockade had not reached
Tampico when the conference was
held.
Navy department heads assumed
that Admiral Mayo discussed with the
Mexican officers the extent of their
authority and nature of their orders,
and that be might have entered to
dissuade them from interference with
Commerce at Taplco.
Secretary Daniels would not dis
cuss the future course of the steamer
Antilla. Department heads still main
tained, however, that there had been
no order to Admiral Badger since that
or May 18, directing that Tamplc'o be
open to commerce. Secretary Daniels
frankly stated that the Navy claimed
no credit for the diplomatic maneuv
ers which resulted In the blockade sus
pension..
Some department officials tonight ar
gued that although the Antilla files
the Cuban flag, her American owners
still were amendable to American cus
toms and shipping laws, and that there
was every reason to believe the com
pany would be prepared to give re
spectful consideration to hints from
the ? State department that it would
prefer it not to Innd ammunition from
the shores of the United States at Tarn
Pico.
At the State department it was
pointed out that the record thus far
WOuld show that the administration
had been acting with exact neutrality
as h et ween tho federals and constitu
tionalists.
