word was received in Washington
tonight from Admiral Badger. that the
federal sunboats Zaragosa and Bravo
have turned about and left for Puerto
Mexico. They received orders from
Huerta only few hours after they
had reached the mouth OF the Panuco
river. II liz assumed that the order TO
me Eunhoats were conveyed through
the United states, as Huerta has no
other means of communicating with
them. Admiral Badger said in his dis
match tonight that he had offered TO
transmit, for the commanders OF the
eunboats through the aid of United
states navy wireless to Mexico City.
Thus the United States now finds 1t
self paying ltt!e courtesies TO Huerta
instead OF hurting shells at his navy
to break up blockade.

administration officials were trying TO
ind some legitimate means of pre-
venting the Ward liner Antilla from
landing her cargo of ammunition at
Tampico on her arrival there wednes-
Hay afternoon.
Agents of the Observation-Disclosures here
declare that the shipment will be
landed.
