REBEL AMMUNITION
SHIP GETS AWAY
Leaves New York Bound for Tampico,
Much to the Surprise of Secretary
of State Bryan and Other
Department Officials.

Washington, D.. c.. June 3.-Ammuni-
tiOn for the constitutionalists of Mexico
left American shores from New York
yesterday bound for Tampico.
Information that the steamer Antilla,
which recently was fired upon by con-
stitutionalists outside Tampico, had left
New York with munitions of war caused
considerable stir in Washington. The
vessel was cleared without interference
on the part of the United States. greatly
to the surprise of Secretary of State
Bryan and other department officials.
Subsequently, it was discovered that
an opportunity to prevent clearance of
such vessels had been delayed and that
the Antilla had procured clearance while
the Washington government believed
steps effectually had been taken to pre-
vent her sailing.
What may happen by the time the
Antilla, sailing under the Cuban flag,
reaches the constitutonalist controlled
port at Tampico is the absorbing topic
of interest in official quarters.
No embargo from American ports was
contemplated by the United States until
the constitutionalists captured Tampico.
Then it became apparent that this gov
ernment would be required to prevent
shipments of ammunition to the revolu-
tionists in order to preserve neutrality
as between the Huerta and Carranza
factions in Mexico.
This led to a decision to withhold
clearance papers to ships with ammuni.
tion for any port in the southern re-
public and the orders We're directed
through the department Of commerce.
Whether any attempt will be made by
the United States to prevent the landing
of the Antilla's cargo at Tampico Is
prohlemstical. One official pointed out
that the Antilla, flying the Cuban flag,
might touch at Havana and receive clear
ance papers for Tampico from Cuban
authorities. In such an event there
would be no warrant in law for inter
fering with the vessel.
Constitutionalst representatives in
Washington did not anticipate yesterday
any change in the situation at Niagara
Falls insofar as their participation in
the negotiations was concerned.
Luis Cabrera, who recently came here
70 confer with the constitutionalist col
leagues, Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vas
concelos left last night for New York,
