It was pointed out by som? that the
United States might land marinea and
seize Tampico. to obtain satisfaction
for thc incident, but thia' raised thc
question of whether or not au act ol

?a the case, lt is not considered likely
that, if uarlnes actually wore landed
and the American flag taken ashore in
satisfaction for the affront occasioned
by the arrest of the marines, any fur

Some officers pointed out tost the
Huerta commander might not resist
the landing ot American marines, In
asmuch as he is hemmed, on land by
the Constitutionalist force*. Should
he consent to to a peaceful landing !t
ls likely that they soon would be with
