ry Bryan believe that speedy results
are certain. They expect that before
the end of the week Huertista COM
nissioners will have defined their
powers. If they are as comprehen-
sive as they have minated, the me-
diators can submit to both sides
their complete plan for agreement.
There was a chance today that the
action of the state department III
declaring Tampico an open port may
be brought to the attention of this

with the Huertista wing of the coun-
try declare that such action, in view
of the fact that Mexico City has been
isolated through the action of Vera
Cruz Federals. the n-aggressiVe
policy promised by Bryan has been
violated,
Meanwhile the Constituencies
are preparing to rush arms and am
munition through Tampieo TO the
rebels in the field. Two cars of am
munition and rapid-fire guns as well
as high explosives for the manufac-
ture of hand grenades are reported
to have been contracted for at New
York. This is to go forward at once
so that if the revelutionists take Sal
tillo and San Luis Potosi where fight
ing is now in progress, the rush on
Mexico City can be started at once.
