Constitutionalists. This was the only
avenue of escape open to General Ia

a junction with Federal troops in the
Saltillo district, but there is some
doubt that he will be successful
The Federal gunboats are in the

report states.
State department advices today were
that arrangements have been made
with the Constitutionalist commander
at Tampico to protect oil property in
the district. The advice states that

from the overflow of the wells.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Danger of
war between the United States and
Mexico has been greatly lessened by
the Constitutionalist victory at Tam
pico. Though the capture of the port
by the rebels has raised some new
complications that will have to be
smoothed out, news of the Constitu-
uonalist victory was received here
with satisfaction.
1t has made Huerta's position less
tenable, though it will also render the
mediation negotiations scheduled to
open next week, of less Importance
than would have been the case had
the Federals won at Tampico. Indeed,
there are rumors here today that the
mediation proceedings may never be
held.
Complete Their Plans.
The A. B. c. ENJOYS are completing
their plans, however, and have already
opened informal conferences with the
American delegates, Justic Lamar and
Frederick w. Lehman. The nature
OF these conferences was not revealed
today officially, but it is understood
that the delegates named by President
Wilson have informed the mediators
that every proposition submitted to
them will have to be in turn trans
mitted to the American government
before final action is taken.
