GUNBOATS ARE ON WAY
American Admiral Makes No Protest
Over Landing of Arms from
Schooner
HAD THREE SETS OF PAPERS
tBy Special Correspondent }

Tampico, Mexico, June 6.-Military
Gov. Luis Caballero has sent an official
communication to American Consul Mil
| Ter to the effect that he has been in
formed that the Huerta gunboats lara
goza and Bravo are now on their way
to Tampico either to blockade the port
or lombard the city.
Gov. Caballero says he has Informed
the American naval authorities of the
| impending blockade so that the United
States monitor Ozark here might be
given an opportunity to withdraw IL she
desired to avoid being mixed up in any
fighting that might eventuate. The gov
ernor declares that the constitutionalists
are prepared to defend the city and re-
pulse any assault that may be attempt
cd by the federals.
Nineteen cases. containing 5000, 900
rounds Of ammunition, the same being
the first consignment of munitions of
war that has arrived here since \the city
fell into the hands of the constitution
alists, was landed at the fiscal wharf to-
day. The consignment arrived in the
American schooner Sunshine, under
charter by the constitutionalists. jan
vern Brown. an American. was in charge
OF the consignment. The clearance pa
pers Of the schooner read, from Calves
ton to Havana"
This fact caused some discussion be-
tween Brown and American Consul Law
renee A. Miller. Brown explained that
his vessel had sprung q leak and had
been forced to put in at Tampico.
The Sunshine is said to have three sets
Of papers and Mr.. Brown evidently was
prepared for quite as interesting a time
as the Ypiranga had in landing her arms
for Huerta.
The rebel officials say the ammunition
will be used to complete their conouast
Of Huerta- The munitions will be loaded
on troop trains at once and sent to the
front.
Z While the boxes were being unloaded
Admiral Mayo sent his aid, Lieut.. Cook,
to the fiscal wharf. Lieut.. Cook de-
manded of the skipper an accounting of
his cargo. After the explanation had
been conveyed to Admiral Mayo, he ex-
pressed no objections, and the landing
of the ammunition was completed.
Vera Cruz, June 6.-The German steam
ship Kronprinzessin Cecilie is due at
Vera Cruz at 4 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. She has on board arms and ammu-
milton which she was not permitted to
land when she came to this port last
1t is presumed that. following the ex-
ample of the Ypiranga and the Bavaria,
that the Kronprinzessin will take her
cargo to Puerto Mexico. There are no
orders to prevent anything of the kind
Perhaps 1t is a coincident that Admiral
Winslow. accompanied by Lieut.. Com
mander Palmer, Chief of Staff Chase, and
the executive officer of the day, returned
this evening from an inspection trip on
board the torpedoboat Jouett. They had
been to Puerto Mexico, but did not enter
the port.

Letters from Sailors to Relatives and

Incidents at Vera Cruz, exciting and
otherwise, are being related by wash
ingtonians who have received letters from
friends at the 'front.' Such intimate
details and information as never gets
into press dispatches come out in these
letters.

written from his station on the U. s s.
Arkansas of Vera Cruz, to his friend.

TT was more of a picnic than a fight -
says the letter. Instead OF being con-

ousted by few shots. II they had

trick of fate that two fellows so well
liked were the ones to go.
Not Many Privileges.
Not many privileges are being given
to the men of the ships. Liberty is given
twice a day, but only from until IL,

have been well weighed, but just at
what point the United States expects
to escape its responsibility to the rep

OF mediation remains undisclcsed.
Early this morning Senior Riano, the
Spanish Ambassador. notined the state
Department that Huerta has issued an
order for the biockading Of the port Of
Tampico. European embassies In WASH

Carranxa.s reply to the last communi-

by the constitutionalist junta In WASH

today or Monday. Carranxa expresses
his willingness to enter the Niagara Falls
conferences, but on his own terms.
The first chief will not consent to enter
into any armistice pending the media

against any attempt on the part OF the
United States or the A. B. c. diplomats
to interfere with Mexico's internal af-
fairs. but he gives evidence Of willing
