Washington, June S-General Hu- erta's order today suspending the ord CT to blockade Tampico against the delivery of ammunition by the steam CT Antilla to the constitutionalists served to dispel apprehension over a new crisis between the United States and the Huerta government which had threatened mediation of Mexican af- fairs.
 Though Washington officials ex- pressed satisfaction over Huerta's ec- tion it was consistently suggested out of official circles that the blockade had been suspended only conditional ly as 9 result of conference between South American mediators and the Mexican and American delegates at Niagara Falls and that the Antillas cargo of arms might not he delivered at Tampico sat this time It was said the Antilla might be diverted in her course through an agreement with of- ficials of the Ward Line. her own CTS, an American corporation.

 Secretary Bryan was first informed of Huerta's suspension of the block ade by MT. Riano, the Spanish min ister. The secretary declined to dis cuss reports from Niagara Falls that General Huerta merely had suspended his blockade order at the request of the South American msdiatOrs pending settlement of questions relating to the cessation of hostilities during the progress of the peace conference.

Such questions. it is declared were put up to Secretary Bryan from Nj agara Falls and Huerta was asked to suspend the blockade order until the subject should be cleared up. It could not be learned whether any reply tO l such proposals had been made.
