Washington, Jane 9,—General Huerta’s order suspending the order to blockade Tampico against the de- livery of ammunition by the steamer Antilla to the Constitutionalists, served to dispel apprehension over a new crisis between the United States and the Huerta government, which had threatened mediation of Mexican affairs. z Though Washington officials ex- pressed satisfaction over Huerta’s ac- THE FARMERS BANK of | : BATES COUNTY “Has a Capital Stock of........ $50,000.00 Surplus and Undivided Profits...........5+ $50,000.00 ALSO A é Savings Department, furnishes Home Banks and pays interest on Savings.

Officials Relieved. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Secretary Daniels gave evidence of great relief over-the late devlop- ments, From no official source here could confirmation be procured of the reports that Huerta had an under- standing with the -mediators or the United States, which would assure that the Antilla’s cargo would not be delivered. Representatives of the Con- stitutionalists in Washington were in- clined to the belief that the ammuni- tion would be landed at Tampico, but they divulged no direct information upon which to base such an opinion. Meanwhile nothing has been heard from the Antilla, which is on the high seas, due to arrive off Tampico on Wednesday morning. United States Peace Plans.

It contemplates establishment at the earliest date practicable, of a new provisional government in Mexico City, which would conduct general elections for a permanent govern- ment. The plan written by the American delegates, after consultation with the Washington government, is brief and includes several counter propositions of which the Huerta delegates will be advised tomorrow.
