| Washington, Nov. 29.-Although
Rear Admiral Craddock, commanding
the British ship in Mexican waters,
ranks Rear Admiral Fletcher by yir-
Tue Of seniority. the British command
er has notified the American admiral
that he wishes to subordinate himself
in cooperating with the United
States forces. This fresh evidence OF
friendly feeling and hearty co-opera-
ton between the two governments
was received here today with mani
fest qualification
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 gov
ernment was deviating from its atti-
tude Of careful watching and patient
waiting for the elimination Of Huerta.
All officials in immediate charge Of
the situation were away from the
capital. President Wilson and secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels were in
New York to attend the Army and
Navy football game, and Secretary
Bryan was speaking in Pottstown, Pa
Rear Admiral Craddock has been
advised by Rear Admiral Fletcher of
the extent of the plans adopted by
The American commander to safeguard
British as well as American inter
ests at Tampico and at Tuxpam. The
action Of the British admiral in sail
ing away from Tampico is taken as
evidence that he was satisfied with
the adequacy Of these plans.
The return Of the battleship New
Hampshire to Vera Cruz from the
northern oil fields was interpreted to
indicate an abatement of the tension
in that quarter at present. The prin-
cipal effort Of the naval commanders,
acting with the American consular Of
fees on the oil coast is nov being
directed to securing such an under
standing with the constitutionalist
leaders as will insure the safety Of
foreign life and property.
