Up Port.
Washington, June 10.-General Car.
rama addressed note to the Abe
mediators Tuesday in which he an
Inounced that he is sending delegates
to the mediation conference. The In
Istructions of these ENJOYS will pre-
clude their acceptance of any protocol
or other agreement which provides for
the settlement Of Mexico's internal af-
fairs.
Vera Cruz, June 10.-The announce
ment Of the suspension of the pro-
posed blockade of Tampico by Next
can gunboats was accompanied by the
revival here of reports Of Huerta' s
early resignation
announcement that the Huerta govern
ment at Mexico City had countermand-
ed the order for the blockade of the
port of Tampico was scarcely Of great
er significance here than the disclosure
that the United States government
had accepted in principle the plan OF
pacification for Mexico drawn by the
American and Mexican delegates here.
Though no formal notice was given
by the United States delegates that
the plan had been agreed to by their
government, they presented views on
the subject of the pacifcation scheme
that indicated that President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan had no funda-
mental objections to it, but in fact, &C
cepted the proposals submitted to
them for scrutiny.
These views were in writing. They
contemplate the establishment at the
earliest date practicable of a new pro-
visional government in Mexico City
which would conduct general elections
for permanent government.
A full conference of all delegates
and mediators is planned for Wednes-
day. This is for the formal consider
ation and drafting of the protocol.
The mediators announced they
would make public all the correspond
ence that has passed between them
1t Is understood that the mediators
feel that they have allowed a long
enough time to General Carranza to
make reply to the note which they dis
patched last Tuesday to- Rafael Zu-
baran, constitutionalist representative
in Washington.
A statement issued by the Mexican
delegates to the peace conference
shows that the order Of the Huerta
government resembling the declaration
of blockade was issued as a result Of
action taken by the delegates.
Washington, June 10.-Rear Admiral
Badger cabled the navy department
Monday that the Mexican federal gun
boats Bravo and Zaragoza left Tampi-
co for Puerto Mexico. This followed
the order Of General Huerta earlier in
the day that the blockade had been
terminated.
A dispatch from Admiral Mayo
stated that the commander of the
Bravo on arriving off Tampico called
on Admiral Mayo aboard the Minneso-
mander that he had been ordered to
block the port. Admiral Mayo an
swered that he had been ordered to
prevent the blockade. Whereupon the
Mexican departed.
The opinion of international lawyers
is that from a technical point Of view
what Admiral Mayo told the Mexicans
was as significant as a broadside from
his ships would have been, but would
not have the same regrettable effects.
1t was learned on unquestionable au-
thority that the withdrawal of the
blockading squadron from Tampico
means that the whole subject involved
will be discussed at Niagara Falls.
The settlement Of the general Next
can question there, as now under
stood, will involve, along with great
mass Of other incidents of varying i'm
portance, the alleged violation of the
American armistice with General
Huerta in letting the Antilla leave
New York and permitting the SUM-
shine to unload her arms at Tampico.
While the point has arisen since the
blockade was lifted 1t is supposed that
the language of Admiral Mayo In talk
ing to General Huerta's officers will
also take an important place in the
protracted conversations at the Falls.
