 Another dip omatic question that gave much concern to the officials 1 was the intervention of the mediators in the case of the South American
 shippers" who fired at the Ameri-
 can soldiers as they were being land
 ed at Vera Cruz. Their explanation
 to Secretary Bryan was that General | HgeIta had requested them to request l the release of these men on thc ground that they had been arrested 1 in Mexican territory. As an admia- ! sion of the riaht of the medlators to submit such a demand on this basis might involve such delicate questions
 as recognition of the Huerta govern mcnts legal existence, Secretary Brl- an announced that he had decided 10 make thorough investigation to learn the facts before acting in tho case. Meanwhile the five men remain under arrest at General FunstonA headquarters awaiting trial. some duut has arisen as to their national 1 ity and latest advices were to the el-

They therefore desire the presence of American warships in the river that their tankers may take the oil down the river to the larger Yes sols outside Tampico.
