Niagara Falls, Ont, June S.-Media-
ton passed safely today over the
shoals of the threatened disruption.
General Huerta came to the rescue,
resembling the order which he had
issued for blockade at Tampico, a
circumstance that had imperiled med
iation and produced the gravest appre-
hension since the conference began
"The blockade incident has been
satisfactorily adjusted" was the an
nouncement of Justice Lamar, as the
American delegates entered their con-
ference with the mediators. 1--WE have
received word from Secretary Bryan
that the Spanish ambassador had been
advised by General Huerta of the rails
ing to the blockade"
Justice Lamar said he was unin-
formed as to the reasons which had
actuated Huerta. The mediators said
they had taken no action with refer
ence to the movement of the Cuban
ship Antilla, carrying arms for the
constitutionalists at Tampioo, the in
cident which brought up the question
of blockade The Mexican delegates,
however, announced they would issue
statement of explanation.
The position of the American gov
ernment was said to be that it would
be tantamount to partial recognition of
the Huerta government to permit the
latter to engage in the act of blockade
which is provided for by the internal
law and sanctioned by the comfy of
nations.
1t was rumored that the Spanish
ambassador in Washington, who is car
ing for Mexico's interests in the Unit
ed States, had been able to make
some arrangements whereby the An
tilla voluntarily would withhold her
cargo of arms from the constitutional
lists This could not be confirmed
here. .
The incident, however, was regarded
as of supreme importance, not alone
because the raising of the. blockade
prevented the search of foreign ves-
sells carrying commerce and saved the
United States from an awkward situr
alton, but 1t is taken to indicate that
during the progress of the mediation
General Huerta was not disposed to
raise any question likely to jeopar-
die the settlement of the Mexican
program through the instrument of
diplomacy.
There was considerable talk, how
ever, that a tacit understanding may
have been reached bySwhich the con-
stitutionalists would not receive fur
thtr shipments of arms at Tampico
and that this had influenced General
Huerta to suspend the blockade.
The blockade incident was only
briefly discussed at the conference
between American delegates and the
mediators. 1t was regarded as past
issue. Then the American commits
sioners presented the peace plan
which they had drafted. In many re-
spects it is the same as was suggest
ed by the Mexican delegates and the
mediators. The points Of difference
are mere matters of detail.
Justice Lamar dictated the follow
ing statement after the conference:
THE mediators have heretofore
submitted to us complete plan and
we have now submitted to them our
plan. Our counter proposition con-
tains a number of points on which
we have agreed, and also propositions
on which there has been neither an
agreement nor disagreement. The
mediators are now taking under con.
sideration the points on which there
has been. no disagreement"
Justice Lamar SPOKE hopefully oi
the general situation. saying the ad-
justment of the blockade incident
