HUERTA RESC|NDS HIS
ORDER FOR BLOCKADE
OF PORT AT TAMP|CO
Delegates and Mediators at Nj
agara Falls Believed to Have
Played Important Part
ANOTHER CRISIS PASSED
In Diplomatic Circles. Huerta's
Action Is Now Considered
Sincere
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., June S.-Huerta
has decided, after all, not to blockade
Tampico and force the hand of the
United States with the possibility of
disrupting the mediation proceedings
at Niagara. Mr.. Riano, the Spanish
officially to that effect to-day.
Thus, the latest crisis in the Mexi-
can situation. fraught with possibili-
ties Of renewed hostilities between
Huerta and the United States, passed
over.
What actuated Huerta in backing
down does not appear in the brief ad-
vices which reached Washington. Un-
official reports that the dictator had
decided at the last moment to rescind
this order of blockade had reached
very close touch with the situation,
about the same time Mr.. Riano was
notifying Secretary Bryan there was
an evidence of relief of the tension
of the last three days along the line
in official circles.
There were broad intimations here
that the influence which had caused
Huerta to rescind his order had gone
to Mexico City all the way from Mag
ara Falls, where, it was said, the me-
diators and the Mexican delegates had
sible terms to withdraw his position
and let the mediation proceed.
Ships Held in Readiness
1t did not appear here that Huerta's
change of position had been contin-
gent upon any change of plans for the
cargo of the steamer Antilla, steaming
for Tampico with arms for the Consti-
tutionalists. 1t had been suggested
that possible pressure upon the own
ers of the ship might cause them to
divert her. One thing. however, was
plain. President Wilson was deter
mined that Tampico should be kept
open to the commerce of the world and
the American ships under Rear Ad-
miral Mayo were in evident readiness
to enforce it,.

he died a little later. While the

SAN FRANCISCO.-A cablegram

twenty-round contest between them IS
to be fought in London between No
vember and IL of this year, the ex-
act date to ;se fixed within "a hours.
Not to confuse this signing with the
immediate plans, it should be explain
ed that II has nothing to do with the
title bout to take place in London on
the night of the Fourth of July, but
is doubtless an agreement which is
presumed to Insure the loser another
match. Such action is not altogether
uncommon, since it has been agreed
to between champion and challenger
in certain instances, but it is cOnsid-
cred far from being a wise move and
certainly an iniudicious scheme to
have made a public announcement
The presumption is that such an
agreement is to protect the champion
and give him return bout. but it
doesn't always work out satisfactorily
