Mediation doomed as Huerta gunboats near Tampico
Francisco Urquidi warns that Huerta's gunboats set to confront the Antilla off Tampico threaten the armistice. He says Rabasa engineered the move to force a breach, risking war if the Antilla is fired upon and U.S. troopship actions would follow.
Blockade stance amid Antilla incident and US action
The passage argues that a blockade must be effective and cites past US actions at Vera Cruz to seize a customs house. It asserts Huerta’s gunboats may fire on the Antilla by Thursday noon, with outcomes depending on American naval response and the risk of breaking the armistice. 300 Constitutionalistas are referenced in Tampico.
