 Counsellor Robert Lansing of the state department today admitted that many interesting questions might arise if Huerta proclaimed a blockade of Tampico but suggested that according to precedent a blockade established by a government not recognized probably

The departure of the two Mex lean federal gunboats from Tampico for Puerto Mexico was not believed at the executive departments to forecast a blockade. The belief was expressed that the captains of the vessels sought communication with Mexico City through Puerto Mexico for further or ders.

Immediate Activity

Fl Paso Tex, May 15.-The attitude of the American administration with regard to the embargo on arms caused imme- diate activity along this section of the border.
 When the announcement came over the wires tonight that there was no prohibit tion against shipping arms and ammuni- tion into Tampico from the United States or elsewhere. there was an immediate exodus of constitutionalists' purchasing agents, and arms and ammunition sales men who hurried away to reach the point where they could come into closest touch with arms shipments.
 The constitutionalists agents. according to well informed men along the border. were uncertain as to whether American arms companies would sell their product to them. Although 1ampico was open. it was said that the most logical way to get ammunition for Villa from foreign ports was 10 tranship the product of American manufacturers. It has been freely stated by the arms agents that a silent and tacit prohibition from tho state department would prevent the sale of a single cartridge from the big makers and would present a more effective em- bargo than the guards along the border.
