MEDIATION MOYIXi STEADILY KOKWAKD That and Other Mexican Developments Continue 11? A tlvl.moe?Envoys Will Wait. I Washing, on, May 7.?^Developments in the .Mexican situation went steadily forward today although the White House wedding today somewhat eclipsed other events in official Washington circles. The chief reports from Mexico announced the killing o? two British subjects a.id one American at Guadalajara and continued heavy fighting at Mazatlan on the Pacific coas: I where the rebel aeroplane dropped a fcomb which killed four persons and injured eight in the streets of the besieged city. The State department also was informed by Consul Hamin at Durango ; that the constitutionalists had begu.i | marching against Saltillo and ZacJ a'ecas. ; Information from the Argentine,1 Brazilian and Chile negotiators was i that they were preparing to begin! "work in Niagara Falls, Ont. They declared that despite Gen. Carranza's self-elimination the constitutionalist side of the Mexican problem would be fully considered by the mediators at the coming conference. President Wilson and Secretary' Bryan have determined to appoint as J delegates to the mediation conference 1 men of judicial ability and, if possible, those familiar with the proceedings; of arbitral tribunals. j y ~ >ray Be a JudgO. ? A man clcs? to the president said today i: would not be surprising if a | justice of the supreme court of the United States should be one oi the representatives of the American gov- j ernment. Justice Pitney, though a republican, is a close friend of the president and may be chosen. Justice Pitney was a member of the Paris peace conference. George Gray of, Delaware, also personally intimate with the president and an American; delegate to The Hague, is another ] who is considered likely to be chosen. Counsellor Robert Lansing of the State department, busy with his duties at the department, may no; be in position to act, but if arrangements can be made to take care of his work, he may be selected. Henry D. White, former ambassador :o France, also is spoken of as a possibility'. Xelson O'Shaughnessy, former ' charge d'affairs at Mexico City, ar' rived in "Washington today. He saw j Secretary Bryan onlv for a few minutes and deferred his calls on the president and Secertary Daniels until later. A report from :he Brazilian am-: bassador at Mexico City stated that I a train load of refugees, 500 to 600 in number left for Vera Cruz in two sections yesrerday. Gen. Huerta promised soldiers to accompany the trains.! Among those on the train was Dr.1 Edward Ryan, the American emissary, who had been arrested on a charge of being a spy and released on | strong representations by :he Brazilian ambassador. Search for Sillman. The quest for John Sillman, deputy consul at Satillo, whose disappear-ance at San Luis Potosi has causec j much anxiety, resulted in a visit ic' G^n. Huerta bv the German and | French ministers. He assured their | that he had sent soldiers ?.o the assistance of the assistant consul. Saitiiio is cut on irom me capuai and perhaps now is in the hands of the constitutionalists, and the or- j tiers, the diplomat say, might not reach their destination. Chairman Chamberlain of the comI mittee on military affairs introduced a resolution authorizing the presiden* j to raise the army above the present statutory limit of 100,000 in time: when war is imminent or on occasions of grave emergency requiring the use or tlie regular army. i ne \ resolution states that conditions exist j at present which may at any time require the full strength of the army. Senator Chamberlain declared the 1 bill was not the result of any confer-1 ence with the secretary of war or the president. Significant accounts of military preparedness came from Col. Goethals, stating that soldiers had been station- j ea along the canal to protect the locks. Notwithstanding the fact that Gen. j Carranza will not be represented \bv j delegates at the conference, it was! stated authoritatively that the plan J proposed by the mediators would cov- 1 ed the pacification of all Mexico. The ! mediators consider that the elimina- i tion of Carranza, it was said, simpli- i fied matters. To Get Information First u-ae peace piau, il was learneu, no: be formulated until negotiations at Niagara Falls shall have produced a basis of information and an exchange of vie.ws between the mei diators and delegates and until everything io be presented by delegates of j. both sides shall have bee.i fully considered and sifted. Tin- administrati >n is keeping its . { own counsel as to mediation. This , has given rise to two confiieing , views, one ihat President Wils n and his advisors look forward confidently : to the success o' mediation, the other that )fficial Washington has lost hope 1 in mediation and is viewing the Xiag-; ara Falls confer nee largely as aca- ' domic. Those wi hin the administration counsels say most officials ex-! peer the mediation to succeed. Although seei. g in mediati 11 a '< chance of relieving the administration ] of one of its hl?avies: burdens, offi-!; cials do no" propose, it is said, to let | the give and take of medition cause j the waiver of anything considered es- J sential to the maintenance of Amerii can honor and rights. ( Reports during the day showed that while American refugees continued j their exodus from Mexico City and the i south, conditions in northern Mexico] had so improved that Americans felt j ' justified in venturing back to reopi?n 1 their mines. Consulate Reopened. The American consulate at Ca- < nanea, Sonora, was reopened by Con-11 sular (Agent Montague. Plans for the (] return of British and Ameriacn operatives to the Tampico oil fields were interfered with by an unexpected notification from the federal commander i that no foreigners could land so long ( as warships remained at Tampico. j Both federals and constitutionalists , earlier had invited the oil men to re- j turn, under promises of protection. A delegation of representatives of American oil interests at Tampico, who have just returned to the United > States, called at the navy department ; today and told Secretary Daniels tha: : thi? United States should police Mexico and aid in the resumption of oil operations. Later they saw the pres- , ident. . Secetary Daniels told them they ought to be thankful they had escaped with their property. representatives of oil interests told Secetary Bryan that because of their enforced absence from Mexico title to their leases is being transferred to ( opponents. This is taken to mean I; that British concessionaries are the. < beneficiaries. The story was told that J contriburors to a fund for Gen. j Huerta being deposited in Paris, were among those to whom title to American holding is being transferred in the Mexican capital.
