AvERTS CRISIS
IN MEDIATION
DISRUPTION OF PEACE PROCEED.
INGS AT NIAGARA WAS
THREATENED
REASON FOR ORDER UNKNOWN
1t is Rumored that the Spanish Am
bassador in Washington Has Made
Arrangements for the AntiIIa Ito
Withhold Cargo of Arms.

Niagara Falls, June 8.-Mediation
passed today over the shoals of threat
ened disruption. General Huerta
came to the rescue resembling the
order which he had is5ued for a
blockade at Tampico, a circumstance
thalt had imparilled mediation and
produced the gravest apprehension
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. I'VE have
received word from Secretary Bryan
that the Spanish ambassador had
been advised by General Huerta of
the raising of the blockade
Justice aLmar said he was unin.
formed as to the reasons which had
actuated Huerta.
1t was rumored that the Spanish
ambassador in Washington who is
caring for Mexico's interests in the
United States, had been able to make
some arrangement whereby the Antil-
la would withhold her cargo of arms
from the Constitutionalists. This
could not be confirmed.
The blockade incident, was only
briefly discussed at the conference
today between the American de e.
gates and the mediators. Then the
American commissioners presented
the peace plan which they had draft.
ed. In many respects it is the same
as was suggested by the Mexican del
egates and the mediators. The points
of difference are in matters of detail
Justice Lamar dictated the following
statement after the conference:
"The mediators have heretofore
submitted to us a complete plan, and
We have now submitted to them our
plan. Our counter proposition con.
tains 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 OF
the general situation saying that the
adjustment of the blockade incident
gave faith in the ultimate success
Of the mediation. The best indica.
ton of the general prospect was that
the mediators We're able to resume
promptly the discussion of general
peace plan. Nword has been receiv
ed from Carranaz, according to Justice
aL4mar. IL was generally understood
that final approval of all peace plans
would be Withheld until the question
of Constitutionalist acceptance OF
the plans has been settled.
