BLOCKADE CALLED OFF Dictator Decides Not to Take Chane on Disrupting I'eace Conference at Niagara Falls. Washington, June 8.?Tluerta ha decided, after all, not to blockad Tampico and force the hand of th unnen mates witn the possibility o disrupting the mediation proceed ings at Niagara Falls. Mr. ltianc the Spanish ambassador, notifies Secretary Bryan officially to that ef feet today. Thus, the latent crisis in the Mex hi lean situation, fraught with possl bllitten of renewed hostilities betwee Huerta and the United States, ha passed over. What actuated Huerta's reversa does not appear in the brief oflichi advices which reached W;^hingtor but there were broad intimation that the influence which' has cause the dictator to rescind his order ha gone to Mexico City all the way fror Niagara Falls, It was natrt the med iators and the Mexican delegates ha been urging Huerta in the stronget possible terms to withdraw from hi position and let the mediation pre ceed. PRESSURE CAUSED CHANGE. It did not appear here that Huei ta's change of position had been cor tingent upon any change of plans fa the cargo of the steamer Antilli steaming for Tampico with arms fc the Constitutionalists. It had bee suggested that possible pressure upo the owners of the ship might caur them to divert her. One thing, however, was . plaii President Wilson was determine that Tampico should be kept open t the commerce of the world and th American ships under Hear Admin Mayo were in evident readiness t enforce it. y Whether the Antilla's war carg would have been considered as con merce had the situation come to tli point of a break all officials here d< cline to say. Unofficial reports which reache Washington early today were of sue & character that there seemed- to I good griund for believing that tli dictator had determined, after al | . _ % _ not to blockade Tampioo in the fa< Of President Wilson's determinatio that it should be kept open to tli commerce of the world and therefc force the hand of the United Stat* again, with the possibility of dlsrup lng the mediation proceedings at N agara Falls. ORDERS NOT CHANGED. While all officials here preserve a significant silence on what woul be the action of Rear \dmtral May at Tampico if the Mexican gunboat Bravo and Zaragosa should attemi to interfere with the liner Antilh bearlne a war carao for thn f'nn?t tutlonalists, it wan pointed out tiu the orders to keep Tampico an ope port had not been changed. From a outward appearances, the America warships lying at the mouth of tli river were prepared to enforce then The Haragosa and Bravo shoul have arrived at Tampico about o'clock this morning.

GUNBOATS ORDERED BACK. General Huerta's dispatch reques ed the Spanish ambassador to infori the American government that th suspension of the blockade had bee decreed by Oeneral Huerta and th: orders had been Riven to the Mexlc.n gunboats to return to Puerto Mexie It was added that this action was ii spired by a sincere desire not ( jeopardize mediation. In diplomatic circles this was r garded as conclusive evidence tin Huerta had placed the fate of h government and the settlement of t! Mexican problem fully in the hani of his representatives at Niagara Kalis. WILL RECEIVE CARUANZA? )In official circles rescinding of the Tampico blockade order was regarded as an indication that Carranzu would be received into the Niagara - conference. There was a well defined feeling that conferences at Nigara Kails yesterday and negotiations resulting from these confer ences with the Washington government and Huerta had worked out an e understanding by which the scope ol mediation was to be broadened. Secretary Bryan's face was illum8 ined with a smile broader than usual e when he announced Huerta's abanP miment of the projected blockade f He was asked if the Sapnish amban. sador had made any protest on be, half of Huerta relating to the landing j of the Antilla's cargo or if there had _ been any negotiations on the part ol this government and "the owners of the steamer Antilla with a view tc ,11 ,.?-t 1 ?

It is the same in principle E as that presented by the mediators and already agreed to by the Huerta t; * j government. It contemplates estab- n lishment at the earliest date practic- s ' able of a new provisional government s !iin Mexico City, which would conduct h ' general elections for a permanent | government. s j The plan, written by the American delegates after consultation with the Wnflhln frtnn crrwrnnn ' ? ? ^ I.. v.w.....0 w?? iiiucu^ in Ul IC1, itllU includes several counter propositions, v of whlc' the Huerta delegation will be advised tomorrow.

This is for the formal con-*J sideration and final drafting of the f : protocol. DON'T WANT AltMS LANDED. 1 Although the question of whether the Antilla would be permitted to land her ammunHion at Tampico was " not finally disposed of today, the " Mexican delegates let it be known V | that, while they hoped the cargo in I some way would be returned to New " York, they were not disposed to in-: v 1 terrupt mediation, even if the aramu"jnition finally got ashore, (leneral 3 Huerta's order rescinding the block ade infused a spirit of optimism, for the situation was threatening.

The 'constitutionalists want to know what ij " i . . ' the peace plan comprehends before i they agree to a suspension of hostil-; | j ities.

( t ? t I i MILITANT WOMEN INVADE CHURCHES ! iuffra^ettes Create Great Disorder in London. >NE REACHES THE PULPIT. ifTortN ?>f Congregation Fail to liemove Her ami Force Is Necessary. London, June 7.?Suffragettes for he first time today invaded Catholic hurches and attempted to harangue ongregations. Worship was disturbd in both Westminster Cathedral < nd the Church of the Oratory, Iromnton. Father Bernard Vaughn had just 1 aken his place in the pulpit in Westainster Cathedral at the evening orvice when a woman rushed up the teps into another pulpit and waving I ier arms towards the altar shrieked: "In the presence of the blessed acrament I protest against the forcible feeding of women." i The congregation rose from their eats and protested. One woman worshiper tried to persuade the sufragette to descend from the pulpit mt she remained there, waving her irms and yelling incoherently until he vergers forcibly pulled her down he steps and turned her over to the ?olice. The woman declined to give ier name. A band of militants interrupted the nid-day mass in the Church of the Oratory by chanting. "God save Emmeline Pankliurst ind all our noble prisoners; open the ?yes of this church and of the priests , o put an end to the torture; in the lame of the blessed Joan of Arc. hear hem in their hour of need." PRAYER IS STOPPED. Great disorder ensued. A suffra- i tette arose and started a prayer, hut die . ~arcely had uttered a word when t woman worshiper slapped her bands over the mouth of the suffragette. The suffragettes were forced by ushers and male parishioners to the deors and then into the street. Many of the congregation followed :he evicted suffragettes to the sidewalk, where a well dressed man hit . i militant in the face, causing it to : bleed profusely. The crowd cheered, rwo of the suffragettes were arrested. They refused to give their names. The growing hostility of the public ; towards militant suffragettes was shown by assaults today on several npen air meetings. Speakers were mobbed, stands were torn down and the women were saved by the poli< [rom duckings or beatings. A crowd it Hempstead Heath knocked over the platform from which a party of militant suffragettes were to speak :nd scattered the suffragettes in all directions. They tried to drag two jf the women to a pond for a ducking, but the police rescued them. When a militant suffragette speaking on Clapham common advocated the use of bombs the speaker and ' those on the stand with her were pelted with mud. The police helped the women to escape on a motor bus. \ meeting in Hyde park ended in the tame manner. i Sylvia Pankhurst, at a meeting in the east end of London today, dodared when she went to Premier \?quith next Wednesday she would jsk for a deputation to accompany ner, not only to plead with the premier but to threaten him. MAN ENTERS PALACE. A sensational incident of the day was the discovery of a young man. who gave his name as Harry Pike, in j Fluckingham palace, where the royal family spent Sunday. In the early hours of the morning Piko entered the palace by scaling the palace wall, notwithstanding the heavy guard of uddiers and police, and climbing into i basement window. He explained afterwards that he performed the to nrnve that pnlmnco cnulil ti>. easily effected. He was discovered and overpowered in the servants' quarters after he had wandered about the corridors for *ome time. Once he was near the jueen's apartment. He will be arraigned tomorrow on a charge of having been found on inclosed premises for unlawful purposes. Thore is nothing to show that Pike^ Is connected with the women's suffrage movement. He gave his occupation as an engineer. The exploit of Pike caused great '! Eilarm and also brought forth a great I ileal of criticism of the system of guarding the palace. Wild scenes followed the ejectment if the suffragettes from the Church )f the Oratory. One of the women lay down at full length on the steps if the church and refused to move. | Her mouth had been injured by a t>low from a man's list. People traui pled past and across her prostrate form, ller hat was torn off and her lress disordered and muddied. Finaly the police arrested her with sev- , >ral others of the disturbers. All of them later were discharged except wo, unristiue Andrews and an Amorcan, Mrs. Mary Fausten, whose husDand, bailed ber out. i JOHNDEE AND SON TO BE PROTECTED Kstute of Millionaires Will he Filled i With Deputies to Prevent j Demonstration.
