OUBTFUL
Washington, June 6—Success of
the attempt by South American am
bassadors to settle the. Mexican situa
tion is doubted here today.
First intimation that things were
not going smoothly came iast night
when the government officials ignored
complaints that filibustering expedi
tions were on the way to I ampico
with arms for the rebels.
Word was received this morning
that the American schooner Sunshine
had landed a cargo of rifles and amu
nition at Tampico, and that the steam
er Antilla is on the way with more
munitions of war from New York, but
no action was taken.
It is reported that Huerta is pre
paring to blockade Tampico betore the
arrival of the Antilla.
London, June 6.--Following the ac
tion of the United States in allowing
arms to be landed at Tampico for Gen.
Villa's forces, Sir Edward Grey sent a
notification to President Wilson. He
informed the president that if General
Villa was allowed to take the presi
dency of Mexico, that England will
demand satisfaction for the murder of
Edward Benson at Juarez.
