Washington, June 9.--General Car

Huerta May Cult Soon.
Vera Cruz, June 9.-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
early possibly before
Wednesday night" according to some
newspapers.
U. S. Accepts.
Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 9.-The
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
paclncation 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 pacication scheme
that indicated that President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan had no funda-
mental objections to 1t, but in fact, ac-
copied the proposals submitted to
them for scrutiny.
These views were in writing They
contemplate the establishment at the
earliest date practicable Of new pro
visional government In Mexico city
which would conduct general elections
for permanent government.
To Draft Protocol.
A full conference OF all delegates
and mediators Is planned for Wednes-
day. This Is for the formal consider
alton and drafting Of the protocol.
The mediators announced they
would make public all the correspond
ence that has passed between them
and General Carranza or his agents.
It 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 Iu-
baran, constitutionalist representative
in Washington.
Note to Mediators.
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
Huerta Recalls Ships.
Washington, June 9.-Rear Admiral
Badger cabled the navy department
that the Mexican federal gunboats
Bravo and Zaragoza left Tampico for
Puerto Mexico. This followed the or
der of General Huerta earlier in the
day that the blockade had been ter
minated.
A dispatch from Admiral Mayo
stated that the commander OF the
Bravo on arriving off TampiCo called
on Admiral Mayo aboard the Minneso-
In and informed the American com
mander that he had been ordered to
block the port. Admiral Mayo an
swerod that he had been ordered to
prevent the blockade. Whereupon the
Mexican departed.
The opinion Of international lawyers
Is that from technical point of view
what Admiral Mayo told the MeXicans
was as significant as 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 Mexi-
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
IIuerta In letting the Antilla leave
New York and permitting the Sun
shine to unload her arms at Tampico.
While the point has arisen since the
blockade was lifted IL Ia supposed that
the language of Admiral Mayo in talk
ing to General Huertas officers will
also take an important place in the
protracted conversations at the Falls
