Chicago tenement. A man out of work
sat at the window, and near by stood his
wife lowering over a tumbled-down bed
in which three children were trying to
keep warm.

SUCCESS OF MEDIATION
NOW RESTS ON ACTION OF
HUERTA AT TAMPIC0

1t was acknowledged here authorita-
lively yesterday that important develop
ments may be expected in the near fu-
ture at Tampico or We're Cruz. No def
mite light was thrown on the character
Of these Developments, but it is known
that they will have to do with the Ward
liner Antilla. which Is carrying cargo OF
war supplies to Tampico for the consti-
tutionalists.
There Is no longer any doubt here that
the sailing OF this vessel, with its supply
OF arms. will constitute a real crisis for
the United States il Huerta stands by his
threat to blockade Tampico. The United
States probably will oppose such a move
with force II necessary, which would, of
course, mean the end of the present
mediation proceedings.
Whether Huerta intends to carry out
his threat to bottle up Tampico. is the
question on which Washington officials
are now seeking light Up to a late
hour last night. Huerta's two gunboats.
the Bravo and Zaragosa, were still at
Puerto Mexico. under the surveillance of
the United States war vessels Tacoma
and Sacramento. The armed tug Tam
pico. Huerts's only other war vessel on
the eastern coast. was still in the River
Alvarado.
There was no longer any doubt in
Washington last night that. the United
States in the event OF an attempted
blockade will be forced into situation
which will not only disclose its real pur-
poses toward the mediation conferences,
but also its stand toward the Constitu-
tionalists. II this government undertakes
to interfere with an effort or the part of
Huerta to block the landing of arms for
the constitutionalists, there will certainly
tar - g., . - lszN q -
same time Huerta Is likely to seize the
incident as the basis for a charge that
the United States is in fact using force
to aid the constitutionalists and has vio-
lated the armistice with him.
. The acuteness Of the situation in re-
gard to The flow of arms from the United
States to constitutionalist territory was
Intensified by the receipt of news yester-
day that a cargo OF war supplies for the
rebels was landed at rampico. This
cargo was on tramp sailing vessel
called the Sunshine, which sailed from
one of the Gulf ports. Another vessel
that was cleared from New Orleans only
a few days ago is bound for Tampico
with munitions of war. and will enter
the port before the Antilla arrives.
Secretary Bryan denied yesterday that
the A. B. c. diplomats had as yet filed
any protest with the United States
against the clearance of the Antilla, but
ne news of the arrival OF the Sunshine
and the approach to Tampico of other
vessels carrying arms are certain to bring
an expression from them.
The situation in Washington in regard
to the order against future shipments Of
war supplies is still foggy. Secretary
Bryan continues to insist that such an
order Is in effect. But the law officers
be enforced without a proclamation from
the President.
The Navy Department last night issued
a formal statement denying sensational
reports as to the possible taking of
Tampico.
