Americans—Germans May Send Arms to Huerta.
ANNAPOLIS, June 6.—A note was
delivered to President Wilson today
while the executive was on board of
the navy yacht, Mayflower, and as
orders had been given that nothing
but the most important matters were
to be allowed to disturb the rest of
the president, it is generally believed
here that the note was a protest made
by the mediators to the President of
the United States against the sail
ing. of the steamer Antilla, which is
loaded with arms and ammunition for
the rebels at Tampico, and which the
American authorities have refused to
interfere with.
The mediators are somewhat taken
back by the attitude of the admin
istration in allowing the rebels to
continue arming themselves and re
fusing the provisional government the
privilege of securing arms and am
munition, and also preventing foreign
powers from sending arms to Huerta.
WASHINGTON, June 6.—It is gen
erally believed hereof hat Germany
and England have reached the limit
of concessions in the Mexican situ

500 women crowded about the home

ment for the murder of Bentbn and
the punishment of the murderers.
The British foreign office is greatly
incensed at the action of the Wilson
administration in aiding the rebels,
although peace negotiations are in
progress and keeping the hands of
Huerta tied, while allowing Villa to
operate. In as much as English in
fluence in the Latin Americas is at
stake, the government intends to act
promptly and with firmness and insist
upon the protection for Englishmen
and English investments and will no
longer look to America and the
watchful waiting policy which has
been followed by the administration
at Washington for the past two years.
A high diplomatic official stated to

SEATTLE, June 6.—The New Lon
don liner Northland went aground on
Bartlett’s reef and the tug Tasco has
taken off 75 of the passengers, while
other boats are headed for the strand
ed liner and will take off the bal
ance of the passengers.
No details of the wreck have been
received, but as the passengers have
been taken off it is believed the boat
must be in a bad way and that the
commander does not expect to float
his steamer without unloading.
It is also possible that the ship is
in an exposed position and it was
thought best to take the passengers
off.
