WASHINGTON. May B.-an Iul To
tol hna fallen Into tho liantln of the
constitutionalists, according to Informa
tion which Secretary Hryan transmitted
to one of hla callers today.
General Carranza today notified Rafael
JJubaran. his minister of tho Interior, at
present representing hla Interests In
Washington, that ho had Issued Instruc
tions to his military chieftains to pursue
with the utmost vigor tho campaigns
against the federal forces at Tamplco
and Mazatlim.
There will be no further attacks on
noncomhatnnts by bombs from aeroplanes
at Mazatlan, an Admiral Howard has
cabled the. Navy department under yes
terday's dato that General Obregon, the
constitutionalist leader of the forces be
sieging the city, has agreed to the es
tablishment of a neutral rone. General
Obregon has further promised his forces
shall not injure foreigners, noncombatants
nor their property, and Admiral Howard
said many Americans Inside the consti
tutionalist lines do not wish to come out,
considering themselves safe.
Admiral Howard, commenting on the
order Issued by General Huerta prohibit
ing any American vessels to clear at a.
Mexican port, says ho has undertaken to
give the Pacific Mall steamers touching
at Mazatlan letters to the customs col
lector at San Francisco explaining their
failure to havn clearance papers.
The prohibition against trade with the
United States now extends to Mexican
vessels as well as American, so that all
trade has been stopped on the west coast.

The British ambassador also conferred
with Secretary Eryan as to conditions at
Tamplco.

Secretary Bryan admitted that this
overnment had received a 4iqt0 from
the SoutluAinerlcan. mediators soeKlng to
solve tho .Mexican crisis. In which com
plaint Is rhade-by tho Hucrta government
that American operations at yera Cruz

Asked ;o to, jthe details of the media
tors' note, Mr. Bryan Bald: "It simply
sets-forth what Huerta says. A reply to
tho note will be made."
Ambassador de G'oraa of Brazil and
Ministers Naon of Argentina and Suarez
of Chile were astir early. None of the
mediators would discuss the news emanat
ing fr&m Mexico City regarding the
Huerta protest, forwarded through Act
ing' Minister of ltorelgn Relations Ruiz
and later confirmed here by Secretary
Bryan. That the envoys or one of them
would go to tho State department to
negotiate further regarding the protest
against American military operations was
said to be probable by those In close
touch with the mediation developments.
"Whon tho United States would reply to
the envoys' noto was not made known.
President Wilson Is said to have been In
formed last night of the Huerta gov
ernment's communication, and It Is ex
pected that the subject would be consld
tred at the cabinet meeting today.
Officials point out that neither tho
United States nor General Huerta has

yet entered Into nny formal armistice.
What occurred was this- The mediators
ugg?stcd hostilities should be suspended
during the period of negotiations. To
this Secretary Bryan replied that It was
assumed there would be a suspension of
hostilities, except to repel attack. Cen
tral Huerta's answer was undei stood to
be an acceptance, but the exnet terms
have not been given out. Mr. Bryan has
several times pointed out that this did
not constitute a formal armistice, but
only an assumption that hostilities would
be suspended except to resist aggression.
Article VII of The Hague convention,
of which the United States and Mexico
are signatories, provided specifically on
troop movement pending mediation as
follows:
'Article VII The acceptance of media
tion cannot, unless there be an agree
ment to the contrary, have the effect of
Interrupting, delaying or hindering mo
bilization or other measures or prepara
tion for war."
To what extent the present suspension
at Vora Cruz operates under these rules
appears, therefore, to depend largely on
the construction of tho Informal under
standing that It-was assumed hostilities
would bo suspended except to repel at
tack. Iiitrrnntliiunt I.nvr mi Case.
Leading authorities on International law
hold that an armistice, truce or suspen
sion of hostilities should be definite and
exact and not Implied.
When an nrmlstlco Is formally agreed
to tho authorities hold thHt "during Its
pendency neither party may engage In
any military work, operation or move
ment at least pn the immediate theater
of war."
This, however, Is limited to tho "theater
of war," anil It Is added: "Kach party
may. In Its own Jurisdiction, do with Its
armed forces whatever It could do In tlmi!
of peace. Fortifications can be built or
put in order, vessels fitted out, troops
raised and trained, and warllko Btores
manufactured and collected. Troops can
bo moved about from one part of a coun
try to another, with tho exception of the
actual area of hostilities."
QncMlon Vp to Unrrlsan,
When secretary Bryan left the cabinet
meeting he said no reply had yet been
formulated to the Hucrta communication
forwarded by tho mediators, relating to
the armistice. In tho Huerta message,
he stated, question was rained as to the
sending of tho army to take tho place
of naval forces at Vera Cruz.
Asked If tho unusuat activity of the
War department since the receipt of
General Funston's cipher 1 t night,
signified any change of policy on tho
part of tho United States toward Mexico,
Mr. Bryan said he could not discuss the
affairs of the War department.
Other members on leaving the meeting
said that It was understood that the en
tire question of dealing with tho situation
at Vera Cruz had been left in the hands
of the War department,
Secrtary Garrison said tho Information
coming to the War department from
Mexico City was through refugee sources
and that no official or diplomatic cor
respondence had been received bearing
out the refugee reports.
Charge O'Shaughnesay conferred with
Secretary of State Bryan and with the
secretary to tho president, Mr, Tumulty.
He will not see President Wilson for a
day or two.

MEXICO CITY, JUy 8. Estava riulz
