Ypiranga Lands Munitions Which
We're Held Up by Ameri-
can Marines
UNLOADED AT PUERTO, MEXICO
Provisional President May Be
Asked to Tell For What Use I
He Wants Them

Washington, d. c., May 2s.-Predic-
tions that a protocol would be signed
by the Huerta and American delegates
to the Niagara conference within the
next week and reports that the Ham
burg American steamer Yp1ranga had
delivered ammunition for the Federals
at Puerta Mexico, were widely vary
ing features in the Mexican situation
that engaged the President and his
advisers to- day.
While it would have been impossi-
bic to have prevented the delivery of
munitions for Huerta without viola
ton of the truce between the Federals
and the american government, yet the
incident recalled that the Ypiranga's s.
movements precipitated the occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz to ballS the landing
of the very war cargo that now will
reach Huerta through the Tehuante-
pee railroad port.
Has Not Told of Use
Whether the Federal dictator would
attempt to make any explanation OF
the use to which he intended to put
the ammunition, as he explained the
recent movement of his troops to meet
Constitutionalists west of Tampico,
was a topic of interest here to-day,
Official reports that Huerta had re-
ceiNeu an auultlOnal cargo from tn6
Hamburg American liner Bavaria
were borne out by statements from
Mexico City that two large shipments
of munitions had been received in the
last two weeks. Suggestions of the
way they would be employed were
conveyed in the statement that the
F'ederals now were well supplied with
ammunition 80 carry on their cam
paign against the Constitutionalists."
