Inject- of tl ed Into the Mexican situtation to-day conc new phases to occupy the attention of repr conc official Washington. The last confe I?nr? rence of the South American media jprtu tors was held and later one of the the ^ envoys ,Ambassador Da Gama, depar- |1,y 8 ted for Niagara Falls. Interest to-day centered on Turn- J'JJ pico and the virgorous prosecution of the Constitutionalist campaign southward. The American government Sus| already has begun representations to |p the Constitutionalists to secure protection for American and other \\ foreign operatives returning to the oil first wells; American warships have gone pass up the Panuco Kiver to heir old aeco stations before the town. At the rece tnouth of the river are the Federal Pani gunboats with a part of the Federal t garrison. The captains of the ships port have asked for an interview with ton Rear Admiral Mayo, which was imiss granted but its purpose has not been Ivisic divulged. (joH REBELS NEED MORE ARMS. Hf>rv Discussion to-day centered chiefly lotli on the question of shipping arms and ing ammuntlon through Tampico. The the Constitutionalists are short and wish Urdi to avail themselves of the first oppor- i jn t tunlty to replenish their stock. Arms cane were prevented from reaching the t Constitution lists through the embar- ocea go which was replaced by President . p?,m Wilson some time ago. pec At Manzanillo and other went coast t,ro? ports no effort have been made to opet prevent arms reaching Huerta and ernl the belief was general here to-day in c , \ that the Constltutionlists would have vice no aimcuity in importing munitions nnei through Tampico In any quantity. Ka?i The presence of the Huertn gun- app? boats in Tampico harbor after evacu- , tug ation by the federals has led to the [far conjecture that they will be used In ama blockading the port. It Is believed c that it was the purpose. of , 'learning port whether Admiral Mayo would re- t-anj spect such a blockade that the com- uhlp manders of the federal gunboats ask- is tl ed for a conference. finis OPINION OF EXPERTS. a f Naval experts here agree that so rul( long as the federal commanders are or 1 able to make this blockade really ef- 1 it fective. it must be respected by for-'serv eign shipping. The recognition of an 12 1 effective blockade by a belligerent to tl does not. it is said, involve political bout recognition of either party to the ! strife. ISHt!
