TO PREVENT M
Rebel Leader Retracts Threat
‘ That Promised to Force U. S.
To Drastic Action
WASHINGTON, January 25
Tension over the Mexican situation
appeared to have been completely
relaxed late Thursday when the
state department announced that
American war vessels ordered to
Vera Cruz and Tampico were al
ready in process of being withdrawn
from Mexican waters since the
rebel leaders had abandoned their
attempted blockade of Tampico.
With this compliance with the
demands of the Washington govern
ment the De la L'uerta leaders have
withdrawn all threats against the
continued movemens of peaceful
American commerce, and the oc
casion for senuing the ships has
passed.
Unless American lives and prop
erty should again be jeopardized, k
is unlikely that the Washington
(government will take any further
action than to continue to make
sales of war munitions to Obregon.
Secretary Weeks has approved the
sal e of an odd-lot of spare parts for
airplanes and a number of bombs.
Consul Wood reported from Vera
Cruz that De la Huerta had ordered
that ample guarantees be extend-

came upon the still, which had not
