HUERTA ARMS WILL LAND UNMOLESTED

U. S. Warships Will Not Attempt to Interfere With Cargo on German Steamship at Puerto, Mexico.

Washington, May B.—Navy department officials said tonight warships of the United States would m|ake no effort to prevent the landing of arms and ammunition for the Huerta government at Puerto, Mexico. Rear Admiral Badger had reported the German Steamship Kron Prinze&in Cecelie, believed to have on board munitions of war, was due to arrive at Puerto early today, and that another vessel was understood to be on the way. Officials pointed out that if the ship had reached port on time, she had discharged her cargo during the day, more than likely, and that a train which brought refugees to Puerto yesterday, probably already whs carrying the munitions t» Huerta's capital. The United States has no ships at Puerto, Mexico, now and it is said none will be sent there. It was suggested today that the state department might seek to have the shipments of arms held up through the German government, but so tar as Is known, no action along that Hue has been taken.
