VERA CRUZ, May est has been
learned that the 100000 rounds Of
ammunition, $50 machine guns and 90
900 rifles for Huerta which were landed
from the Ypiranga at Puerto Mexico
were bought in the United States. The
Germans concerned in the purchase are
responsible for the statement.
The supplies were bought while the
embargo was on and were shipped TO
Europe. II Is said that Huerta agent
had them sent to Odessa, hoping to sell
munitions of war to Albania or one Of
the Balkan nations then engaged In
war Russia allowed the property to be
seized for the Mexican Government and
II was taken to Hamburg, where 1t was
loaded on the Ypiranga
The cargo could not therefore be re-
turned to Germany, the steamship rep
resentatives say. The United States
could not take II. and there was nothing
else to do but to obey the order of the
consignee and land 1t at Puerto Mexico.
The Ypirangas captain received
large bonus for his action.
Reliable reports from Mexico city de-
scribe Gen. Huerta as being in a very
good humor over the successful landing
OF the arms and ammunition. His de-
meanor is reflected in the German col.
ony at Vera Cruz, which is laughing at
the American soldiers and sailors as
well as at the Administration at Wash.
ington.
Huerta Is reported to be in such good
humor that he has told many that he
will get out OF the provisional Presi-
dency on very simple conditions. The
United states must legnlize all his acts
while in Office and must guarantee peace
for the administration which will sue

terdte my personal opinion that Amerl-
cans should be slow I'm returning to the
oil fields around Tampico especially as
the companies are not sending any men

number OF unemployed Americans may
cause an embarrassing IL not serious sit
uation."
