Leave Country of Dictator.
Have No Power.

WASHINGTON, May I2.-The
Mexican situation was in a worse
muddle tonight than at any other
time since the mediation proceedings
began The new enharra ssnlents
came chiefly through the disclosure
that Huerta has in his possession q
paper signed by the commanding Off
Ger of the United States navy de-
strover Tanning, certifying that the
light on Lobos Island, off the gulf
coast OF Mexico, was taken by force
by the United States. This remarka-
bic development. following Huerta 8
protest to the mediators that the
seizure Of Lobos Island constituted A
violation of the armistice. was u
shock to the state department. Sec
rotary Bryan had denied that there
was any seizure of the island. and
had contended that the United States
had merely maintained the light
after it had been deserted by the
Mexican keepers.
Mr.. Bryan was tonight explaining
to the mediators that this extraordi-
nary certificate merely represented an
act Of courtesy. and that it was in no
way to be construed as an acknoWl-
edgment that the naval forces had
$. lied the island. II meant merely
that the commanding officer OF the
Tanning insisted that the necessary
naachiaa cry necessary for operating
the light be left behind by the keeper.
Huerta. with his present DISPOSE
ton to push charges Of bad faith
against the United States. is certain
to make the most of this incident.
While morally the United States was
justified in taking possession ~ the
light. authorities here doubt whether
