The last conference here; of the ; South American media'ors -was held.

The American government already has begun representations to the Rebels in behalf of the Tampico Oil men. They want protection for the operatives. The United States war whips have returned Into Panuco river and anchored before the town. The Mexican Federal warships are Ftationed at the mouth of tae river. They asked Admiral Mavn for a con ference, it Is supposed probably to ask if he will respect a blockade.

An Important conference was ex pected later today on the battleship Connecticut between the admiral and the Mexican commands, of the gun boat Zaragoza. The conference was arranged for yesterday, but could not be held on account of heavy seas. It was reported here today that an understanding had been reached be tween United States officials and Con stitutionalist leaders whereby all the operatives of the various oil wells around Tampico could resume work at once under a guaranty of protection from the Constitutionalist generals. - Information to this effect also was j communicated to representatives ofj all foreign governments having inter- j ests In the Tampico vicinity.

This makes it hazardous, par ticularly for the small boats in the torpedo flotilla and shei-ef will be af forded in the river. Officials here do not expect anr objection to be made by Constitutionalist lenders to the American ships occupying positions in the river. For the World's Borne Routed Great Waterwav.
