That's What Henry Clews Thinks
Says "Watchful Waiting"
Will Be Success.

President Wilson's policy OF watchful
waiting was commended and the rebel
leader Carranza called the possible
Moses OF Mexico by Henry Clews at the

ing last night in the Metropolitan Temple
Mr.. Clews's subject was international
Amity." DR.. John Wesley Hill spoke on
Industrial Peace and cambridge Colby
discussed civic peace.

City soon.' said Mr.. Clews. "Huerta will
probably flee for his life. He has done
nothing to gain our respect and 1t is nat
ural that we should side with the other
faction. Carranza and Villa are now
lighting our battles. Carranza has won
derful opportunity to become the idol OF
Mexico. Let him declare now that in the
event Of his taking the City OF Mexico he
will not pilage. Let him promise there
shall he no bloodshed after occupation"
AS to the probabilit. OF the success
OF the A B G mediation the speaker was
skeptical. I'VE hope for the best" he
said.
Il believe that the mediators are acting
in way that suggested some time ago.
They are evidently trying TO bring Huerta
and Csrranza together II they are not
successful in that. I fail to see how the
mediation will be successful.
None OF us wants war. and I am sure
that the Wilson policy of waiting, while
II is but an experiment, will prove sue

HUERTA CUNBOATS
MAY DOOM PEACE
Rebels See Plot to Foil
Mediation in Order to
Seize Antilla.

Mediation is doomed when Huerta'
gunboats meet the Antila off Tampico
next Wednesday," said Francisco Ur-
quidi, Constitutionalist Consul General in
New York, yesterday. mo matter how
you look at Il, there seems no way out OF
the difficulty without breaking the armls-
tice.
THE new situation regarding the gun
boats and the Antilla is part Of trick
that | am credibly informed had its en-
sineering in the mind of Huerta's dele
gate. Rabasa, in Niagara Falls. Rabasa
II was who notified his government OF
the sailing Of the Antilla with 100000
rounds of ammunition for the Constitu-
tionalists In Tampico, and suggested the
sending OF the gunboats Bravo and cara
gosa from Puerto Mexico to blockade
Tampico.
"Rabasa knows General Villa will not
enter into mediation under the terms
which he proposed through my brother,
Juan F. Urqudi, who delivered Carran-
"a 8 note to the medators. Consequently.
with the failure of mediation and the
steady advance Of the Constitutionalists
Huerta's doom seemed sure. Rabasa also
knew that no matter how things turned
out in Mexico he was doomed II the
Constituencies won, he could not 60
back, and II Huerta won, he would not
dare to return When he left he took
his entire family and belongings. for he
knew he was due to stay long time
out Of Mexico.
Should the gunboats fire on the Antilla
and that Is what they were sent for
the American cruisers would have to
protect the Antilla even to the extent Of
sinking Huerta's gunboats. That act
would be the breaking of the armistice
and a declaration Of war. 1t would leave
Huerta IN the position of having avoided
war with the United States until II was
forced on him. Altogether the putting Of
the gunboats into the situation was the
clever thing to do with mediation break
ing up.
"Haerta has not the right to blockade
Tampico, nor the strength If he had the
right. Two ships cannot establish a
blockade. The United States has held

would prevent any interference with
commerce in or out of that port.
The Bravo and the Zaragoza. now on
their way from Puerto Mexico to TAM

Tacoma and the gunboat Sacramento.
They are due at Tampico tomorrow

from Admiral Badger shows;

knots. Should arrive off Panuco River
about Z A. NJ. tomorrow. Tacoma ana

The Antilla will probably not reach
Tampico until Tuesday or WEDNESDAY
but the crisis in the matter may oe
reached before then, as ships are con-
stsntly entering the Panuco River IL
Huerta intends 70 establish a compete
blockade he will naturally order all
ships of commerce TO stop, IL ne Is
searching only for arms and amHlunl-
ton and other munitions OF war ne Is
likely TO find contraband aboard several
vessels other than the Antilis, as IL Is
known that shipments have recently
been made from Galveston,
II is considered here that Huerta VIII
look upon all supplies that might give
aid and comfort 20 his enemies as COLI
traband of war. in which event almost
every ship entering Tampico wouid
doubtless be under the ban In loroiu-

Rear Admiral Badger reported 10
night that Rear Admiral Mayo, VINO is
in command at Tampico, has shlt'eo
his flag TO the battleship Minnesota
which is stationed just outside the
mouth of the Panuco River. Rear Al
miral Mayo had been aboard the nohi-
tor Ozark, which has been stationed up
the river at Tampico. The Minnesota
is a point from which Admiral Mayo
can direct operations against the Mex
lean gunboats. Aboard the ozark he
would be miles away from the scene o.
action. Mayo's transfer is still an
other indication that interesting events
will occur of Tampico tomorrow.

Extraordinary Heroism.

Admiral Fletcher names several officers
for extraordinary herosm in battle. In
that connection he says:
Captain +. A. Anderson. Y. S. ~, COM
manded the second seamen regiment. In
marching his regiment across the open
space in front OF the Naval Academy and
other buildings he Unexpectedly met a
heavy fire from rifemen. machine guns
and one FOUNDERS. which caused part OF
his command to break and fall back. and
many casualties occurred among them at
this time His indifference to the heavy
fire, 10 which he himself was exposed at
the head of his regiment, showed him TO
be fearless and courageous in battle.

Ensign II. G. Frazier, L. s. ~, ran
forward TO rescue a wounded man, and In
doing so he was so exposed that the fire
of his own men was temporarily suspend
ed for fear Of hitting him. He returned at
once to his position in line.

cation between the troops and the ships.
At this exposed post he was continually
under fire. One man was killed and three
wounded at his side during the two days
fighting. He showed extraordinary hero
ism and striking courage and maintained
his station in the highest degree OF eff
cheney. All signals got through, largely
due TO his heroic devotion to duty.
Surgeon Langhorne rs commended by
his regimental commander for showing ex-
traordnary heroism in battle by carrying
a wounded man FROM in front Of the Naval

Respect Of Other Nations.

They argue, also. that the Carranza
government would not command any
respect from other nations other than
the United States, that the United
States government could not and It's
citizens would not finance such a gov
eminent, that without funds it could
not pacify Mexico, and that, after a
more or less prolonged period of tur-
MOL and bloodshed, the United States
would be compelled TO intervene to re-
store order.
The plan would give to the Constitu-
tionalists controlling interest in the
provisional government, thus safe
guarding the cause which they claim
to be espousing, so that in the opinion
Of the mediators the only explanation
Of refusal by Carranza himself to
accept it would be that he and those
close to him are so far animated 10y
personal political ambitions as to be
willing to sacrifice all for which they
have contended TO further them.

Niagara Falls, Ont. June This
the eighteenth day Of the Niagara
Falls Peace Conference and the
eleventh day since its agreement was
submitted TO President Wilson, has
been devoid OF material Developments.
but filled with disquieting rumors' and
tonight there is substantially less
hope OF peace than has hitherto pre-
vailed.
Unofficial reports from Washington
regarding the course Of the admins
tration in connection with the Antill
hive proved seriously depressing

prints, the United States uses its naval

competent to judge. clear Violation
Of the ar1nistice, and the mediators
will have difficulty in preventing the
Mexican delegates from withdrawing
from the negotiations.
Friendship for Carranza.
Washington dispatches describing
the President as contemplating recog-
milton Of Carranza as head of the Mex
lean government and Saltillo as tts
capital, and even declaring that tho
President believes England would fol-
low his example in this respect, have
been read with intense interest, but no
one here believes that England would
follow such a lead. Nothing definite,
however, is known as to how far Presi-
dent Wilson may carry his friendship
for Carranza.
Niagara Falls opinion is so strong
why this peace movement should not
fail that 1t cannot be believed here
that President Wilson will cause it tn
do so, either directly or indirectly.
They point TO the facts that Huerta has
conceded everything which Mr.. Wilson
has demanded and that the provisional
government contemplated in the plan
submitted TO the President on May p
would amount to a great victory for
the economic policies advocated by the
Constitutionalists. and pave the way
for complete Constitutionalist victory
at the election to be held in the near
future.
1t is pointed out, on the other hand,
that it would avert war and save the
United States from the necessity of in
vading Mexico, and prove TO the world
that the United States has been sin
cere in its propaganda of peace, where
as failure Of the conference would give
mendous consequences.
