HUEHTA CALLS OFF BLOCKADE Mexican Dictator Relieves Delicate Situation. MEDIATION WILL PROCEED Spanish Embassy at Washington Re- ceives Official News and Promptly Notifies Secretary Bryan—Huerta Orders Mexican Gunboats to Re- turn at Once to Puerta Mexico. Washington, June 9.—Huerta has decided not to blockade Tampico and force the hand of the United States with the possibility of disrupting the mediation proceedings at Niagara Falls. Mr. Riano, the Spanish am- bassador, notified Secretary Bryan officially to that effect. - Thus the latest crisis in the Mexi- can situation, fraught with possibili- ties of renewed hostilities between Huerta and the United States, passed over. What actuated Huerta in backing down does not appear in the brief ad- vices which reached Washington, but his action was inspired, it was stated, by a sincere desire not to jeopardize the success of mediation. In official circles here the rescind- ing of the order was regarded as an indication that General Carranza will be received into the Niagara confer- ence. Mediators Have Been Busy. There were broad intfmations here that the influence which has caused Huerta to rescind his order went to Mexico City all the way from Niagara Falls, where, it is said, the mediators and the Mexican delegates have been urging him in the strongest possible terms to withdraw his position and let the mediation proceed. It does not appear here that Hu- erta’s change of position had been contingent upon any alteration of plans for the cargo of the steamer Antilia, steaming for Tampico, with arms for the Constitutionali: It b been suggested that poss pressure ‘upoun the owners of the ship might cause them to divert her. One thing, however, is plain. Pres- ident Wilson was determined that Tampico should be kept open to the commerce of the world and the Amer- ican ships under Rear Admiral Mayo were in evident readiness to enforce it General Huerta's dispatch announc: ing the suspension of the blockade was received at the Spanish embas- sy and its purport communicated im- mediately to Secrctmy Bryan at his ‘Spanish ambassador to inform! the American government that the: sus-. pension of the blockade had been decreed by General Huerta, that of- ficial notification would be published in the official paper and that orders had been given to the Mexican gun- boats to return to Puerto Mexico. Evidence of Sincerity. In diplomatic circles Huerta's ac- tion was regarded as conclusive evi- dence of sincerity that he has placed the fate of his government and the settlement of the Mexican problem fully in the hands of the South Amer- ican medfators and his representa- tives at Niagara Falls. Upon what terms the Constitution- alist leaders’ representatives may agree to énter the negotiations were not definitely known here, but tkere was a feeling that conferences at Ni- agara Falls and negotiations result- ing from these conferences with the Washington government and General Huerta -had worked out an under- standing by which the scope of me- diation was o be broadened. Though unconfirmed here reports were persistent that the mediatora had induced General Huerta to re- seind the blockade order only after there had been some assurance from the United States as to the disposi- tion of the Antilla. One report had it that the steamer would be diverted to some other port, probably Havana, pending further mediation negotia- tions.

A young woman in a shrill voice screamed denunciations of the forci- ble feeding of suffragette prisoners. She fought wildly and her ejection from the building was effected only after a flerce struggle. " “No peace for King George or Queen Mary,” is the latest order giv- en out by the suffragettes. Later two women at opposite ends of the arena harangued the royval box and made appeals to the king to stop forcible fecdlng. Angry shouts were raised by the crowd as the sufiragettes were eject- ed. Noisy demands for 2 conference with Walter Hines Page, the Ameri- can ambassador, were made at the embassy by a woman giving the name of Mrs. H. Wanderhouse, who declar- ed she was an American. She said she was among the deputation of suf- fragettes which was broken up while attempting to march to Buckingham palace May 21 to present a petition to the Kking. She refused to tell anybody except the American ambassador himself what she wished to complain about. She threatened to continue visiting | the embassy until Mr. ed to see her.
