Guarding Waterworks Outside Vera Cruz
BLOCKADE OFF AT TAMPICO
Huerta Suspends Order Which Brings
Relief to Washington Officials

Washington. June 8.-Rear Admiral
Badger cabled the Navy Department
late tonight that the Mexican Federals
gunboats Bravo and Zaragosa left
rampico for Puerto Mexico at o'clock
this afternoon. Orders from Foreign
Minister Ruiz at Mexico City. trans
mitted from Vera Cruz to Tampico
bv the wireless instruments of Amerl-
can warships, gave the Mexican COM
mander their first news of the sus-
pension of the proposed blockade OF
rampico and directed them to return to
Puerto Mexico.
Gen. Huerta's order today suspending
the order TO blackade Tampico against
the delivery of ammunition by the
army Antilla to the Constitutionalists
served to dispel apprehension over a
new crisis between the United States
and the Huerta Government which had
threatened mediation OF Mexican at
Airs. Though Washington officials
expressed satisfaction over Huerta's
action. il was persistentiy suggested
outside of official circles that the block
ade had been suspended only ccndi-
tionally as a result of conference be-
tween the South American mediators
aud the Mexican and American dele
gates at Niagara Falls, and that the
Antilrs cargo of arms might not be de-
iivcred at Tampico at this time. 1t was
said the Antilla might be delivered in
her course through an agreement with
officials of the Ward Line, her owners
and an American corporation
President Wilson Secretary Bryan
and Secretary Daniels gave evidence
of great relief over the late develop
ments which. temporarily at least, have
lverted another clash at arms. From
no official source here could confirma-
ton be procured of the reports that
Huerta had an understanding with the
mediators or the United States which
would assure that the Antilla's cargo
would not be delivered. Representa-
tives of the Constituencies in Wash
ington were inclined to the belief that
the ammunition would be landed at
Tampico but they divMged no direc.
Information upon which to base such
an opinion. Meanwhile nothing has
been heard from The ANilla, which
is on the high seas due to arrive Off
Tampico Wednesday morning.
