 WASHINGTON. June S.- Huerta $ order suspending the order to blockade Tampico against the delivery of am munition bv the steamer Antilla to the constitutionalists dispelled appre- hension over the new crisis between the United states and the Huerta gov ernnent which threatened the media ton of Mexican affairs. Although Washington officials expressed Satls- faction over Huertas action II was consistently suggested outside official circles that the blockade has been SuS- pended only conditionally as result of conference between the mediators and the Mexican and American dele gates at Niagara Falls and that the Antillos cargo of arms might not be delivered at Tanpico at this time
 if is said the Antilla might be di- verted from her course through an agreement with officials of the Ward Line, her owners. an American corpor- aticn. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Secretary Daniels gave evi- dence of relief over the later develop ments which. temporarily at least, have averted another clas of arms.
 From no official source here could confirmation be procured of the report that Huerta had an understanding with the medators or the United States which would assure that the Antilla's s cargo will not be delivered Repre- sentatives of the conStitutiOnaliSts at Washington are inclined to believe the ammunition will be landed at Tampi- co, but divulSed no direct information upon which to base such an opinion. The .Antila is due to arrive at Tam pico on Wednesday morning.
 Bryan was first informed of Huer- ta's suspension of the blockade order by Riano. the Spanish minister. early in the day. The secretary declined to discuss the reports from Niagara Falls that Huerta had merely suspended the blockade order at the request of the mediators, pending a settlement of the questions relating to the cessation of hostilities during the progress of the peace conference One of the import ant questions said to have been raised at Niagara Falls was whether the United States construed the mediation agreement to obligate it to prevent arms entering Tampico which the Hu- erta government had declared closed If the United States did not so cOnstrue the cessation of hostilities, the media = tors are said to have desired to know whether this government would con- slider it a breach of faith, should the Huerta government attempt to stop tho Antilla'S cargo of ammunition for Car ranza forces.
 Such questions, it is declared, were put up to Bryan from Niagara Falls Huerta was asked to suspend tht blockade order until the subject can bt cleared up. The Mexican gunboats Za- ragozd and Bravo. followed from Puer. tO Mexico by the American cruiser Ia. coma and the gunboat Sacramento reached Tampico shortly after oclocl this morning. Admiral Badger re ported the arrival to the navy depart ment. but did not state whether tn, gunboat commanders had been ap prised of the suspension of the order The Mexican boats are anchored il the Panuco River. some distance iron Tampico and Admiral Mayo, in com mand of the American naval force there, conferred with their command CTS.
 The navy department heads assume, that Mayo discussed with the Mexican officers the extent of their authorit and the nature of their orders and tha he might have endeavored to dissuad them from interference with commerc at Tampico Daniels would not discus the future course Of the steamer An tilla. Department heads stil maintain however, there have been no orders t Admiral Badger since that of May 1,
