WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--Although
Rear Admiral Cradock, commanding
the British ships in Mexican waters
ranks Rear-Admiral Fletcher by vir-
tue of seniority, the British COM
mander has notified the American
admiral that he wishes to subordin-
ate himself in cooperating with the
United States forces
This fresh evidence of friendly feel
ing and hearty cooperation between
the two governments was received
here today with manifest gratifica-
tion.
ANY developments in the Mexican
situation seemed to be moving under
the surface; there appeared to be no
change in the diplomatic situation
and no indication that the American
government was deviating from its
attitude of careful watching and pa
tient waiting for the elimination of
Huerta.

All officials in immediate charge of
the situation were away from the

Rear Admiral ,Cradock has been
advised by Rear Admiral Fletcher of
the extent of the plans adopted by
the American commander to safe
guard British as well as American
interests at Tat1pico and at Tux
pam. The action of the British ad-
miral in sailing away from Tampico

T The return of the battleship New
z Hampshire to Vera Cruz from the
Northern oil fields was interpreted to
ndicate an abatement of the tension
IN that quarter for the present. The
principal effort cf the naval corn
handers acting with the American
consular officers on the oil coast is
now being directed to securing such

2 tionalist leaders as will insure thr
safety of foreign life and property.

Along the northeast border the con-

MEXICO, City, Nov. 29.-President
Huerta has asked General Porfirio
Diaz to return to Mexico and en-
deavor to unite the warning factions.
He has reinstated the "Porfirio Diaz
General Division" in the army and
has asked General Diaz to resume his
old military command.
Diaz VIII Come In Case of Invasion.
1t is said that General Diaz has
formally accepted, but that he has
shown no intention of leaving Paris.
The eX-president has announced sew
eral times that he would return to
Mexico only in case of foreign in
yasion.
Mazathan, the most important port
on the west coast of Mexico, is in the
hands of the rebels today. This gives
the Constitutionalists control of the
railroad that continues south through
the State of Sinaloa, the Territory OF
'repic and the State of Palisco to the
City of Mexico.
1t is believed that the rebel objec-
tive from the west is now the city of
Guadala lara, which will bring the

to be concentrated in Jalizco for a
junction with the armies of Venus

Military observers here expect Cen
eral Huerta to begin withdrawing his
troops from remote posts, where they
are subject to temptation to join the
rebel cause There appears to be
every reason now for a concentration
of Federal forces near Mexico City.
II Huerta can draw the rebels into a
general battle with a large number OF
forces engaged he will himself take
command in the field, feeling secure
in his own ability as genera 70
