WILL THE1 VNlttoFi^tES RAISE THE EMBARGO AT TAMPICO? ! I SERIOUS QUESTIOJN ThK Government Will Have To Decide That Matter In a Very Few Hoare Now 1 f ? ? (By Associated Press) Washington. May 13.-First formai steps in tee program of mediation in the Mexican problem were taken here .today when Justic Lamar and Fred erick W. Lehmann, together with their secretary H. Percival Dodge, who will represent the United States, paid their respects to the three South American envoys who havo undertaken by dip lomacy to solve the Mexican question. Reports were current that strong pressure would be brought to bear on the constitutionalists from several quarters after the expected victory at Tampico,, to get them to participate in the mediation. A Soldier Murdered. Secretary Garrison cabled General Funston at Vera Grus to demand of General Ma aa. the Mexican command er, a full explanation of the death of Private Parks, ..who strayed into Mex ican lines several days ago. Protest against the reported execution of Parks and the alleged burning:of hts body baa been sent also through diplo matic channels to President Huerta. Secretary Garrison - h?lds . that as * o ric F- was in uniform, he should havo boen treated as a 'prisoner of war. General Funston thinks Parks weut insane. Mr. Garrison also aaked General Funston for another report on the de tails of tbe arrest ot five South Ameri cans accused of sniping at Vera Crus. .

Here ts a Problem. Another phase ot the. situation which produced much discussion in executive quarters on the question of ammunition shipments destined for Tampico, which the constitutionalists iimc - UM runic. Constitutionalists, here say that af ter theibajtttea of Tampico and Saltillo now being fought,' the rebels will have little ammunition left with which to continue their, fight; against Hueste. With a; practical embargo on the im portation of munitions of war Across the American border in effect now the rebels believe the' only chance . of getting additional ammunition will be from abroad. On the other'hand, should the con stitutionalists be allowed to import ammunition through Tampico,, some point out that Huerta probably would protest that the holding'up of ship men tr. of arniB for him, at Vera Crus, was unjust. The expected capture of Tampico, t the port next in importance to Vera Crus, will r??ss many iij?er*&i.i?g questions, as the rebels have held no seaports heretofore. Tho federal gunboats may seek to prevent arms and supplies from land ing at Tampico, but such an interfer ence with International commerce might not be tolerated by the big ships hete, belonging to oth* ouo trles.

On the other hand, lt was suggested that General Maas* conduct had dis pleased the dictator and that his re moval probably had nothing whatever to* do with the international situation. Those who took ? the less optimistic view thought that, the fsll ot Tampico today ml'js have made Huerta des? ps rate and nave led him tu take nome st?p to force the hand of the United States without waiting the outcome of the pending mediaron negotiations.
