Secretary BRYAN Is Informed.

Washington, June g. Provisional
President Huerta has decided after all
not to blockade Tampico and force the
hand of the United States with the pos
sibility of disrupting the mediation
proceedings at Niagara Falls. Spanish
Ambassador Riano notified Secretary
Bryan to that effect today.
Huerta's dispatch to Riano requested
Riano to inform the American govern
ment that suspension of the block
ade had been decreed, that official no.
tification would be published In the
official paper tomorrow and that or
ders had been given to the Mexican
gunboats to return to Puerto Mexico.
1t was stated Huerta's action was in
spired by sincere desire not to jeop-
ardize the success of mediation.
Broaden Scope of Mediation.
In official circles here the rescind-
ing of the Tampico blockade order was
regarded as an indication that General
Carranza will be received into the
Niagara Falls conference. Carranza's s
answer to the mediators, 1t is generally
expected. will be forwarded from
saltillo tonight There is feeling here
that the scope of mediation is to be
pTOdQeneO.
1t is reported unofficialIy that the
steamer Antilla, which caused Huerta
to give the blockade order, will be
diverted to some other port pending
further mediation negotiations. Sec
retary Bryans face was illuminated
with a smile broader than usual to-
day. He was asked If Ambassador
Riano in announcing the suspension of
the blockade had made a protest to
the United States on Huerta's behalf
relating to the landing of Antilla's
cargo or II there had been negotia-
tions on the part of this government
and the owners of the Antilla with a
view to diverting the ship from lamp
leo.
Il cannot discuss anything further
than to state that the blockade has
been suspended" Mr.. Bryan replied.

IMPORTANCE OF THE
CASE IS RECOGNIZED
Justice Hughes, in Render
ing Decision Of Supreme
Court, Declares That In
terstate Commerce Must
Have One Master.

Washington. June S.-The supreme
court today upheld the interstate oom-
merco commissions orders IN tho
Shreveport rate case. thus placing in
terstete railroads more under the COM
mission and less under state commits
sions. The far-reaching effect Of the
decision lies in the fact chat rates
which the interstate commerce COM
mission ordered indirectly increased to
remove discrimination were prescribed
by the Texas state railroad commits
sion.
Under the federal commissions or
ders the only way railroads may escape
conflict with the Texas commission is
to reduce interstate rates from Shreve-
port to Texas cities so as to put
Shreveport on competitive basis with
Texas jobbing cities. Justice Hughes
recognized the Importance of the case,
so stating as he concluded his opin-
ion
but 1t IS essential that interstate
comm cree have but one master and not
many" he declared.
