war may be directly imported. 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!
