The ceremony staried at 6 o'clock sharp, and lasted but 15 minutes.

As the president gave the bride away there t was an affectionate smile on his face.; He stepped back from the altar beside Mrs. Wilson and as the words of the! service were read their faces were gravely solemn. The bride and groom repeated the service unfalteringly and did not appear nervous. They smiled happily as they led the procession ircm the al'ar to the Red room, where they received the congratulations of ;he guests.

TO INCREASE FORCE VERA (1UZ .Hore .Hen Likely to lie Sent to Forestall Possible Attacks by Mexicans. Washington. May 8.?High tension marked ne Mexican situation today bnh cn the military and diplomatic sides. The war department was the chief centre or' activity and while no au horitative statement was made beyond Secetary Garrison's formal reply thai "no orders i'.;r a'.y national troop movements have been sent," it became known t.:at the adminis ration was c nsidering sending additional troops to Vera Cruz and probably would do so. Tins step would not be intended as an aggressive measure but as a precaution. An evidence of seriousness of conditions was contained in a re port today that two German merchant ships were about to arrive at Puerto Mexico with arms and ammunition for Huerta. It was realized that this, if true, would present an incident similar to the arrival of the Ypiranga at Vera Cruz, which led to the American occupation of Vera Cruz. i Huerta's protest to the mediators that the United States had broken the i armistice by landing additional troops at Vera Cruz was considered by the cabinet and laer Secreary Bryan announced hat the reply to this stated that no aggressive steps had been t.*ken by the United States forces o d that nothing had been done lo violate the suspension of hostilities. The American .reply was delivered 10 the mediators late tcday. Mediators Agree. The mediators themselves also took the view that the question raised by Huerta over the observance of the Ho rOoarorl nwav and <Xl V/VU1U k/Vx Vivu* , ? that Huerta could be convinced that the United States had not violated in spirit a: least the armistice. The cabinet meeting brought out a general discussion of the situation. It was said after the mee:ing that uere was little doubt as to the sending of addiional forces, wholly .for piecautionary purposes. It also became known that inquiries had been made of ue governors of several States to ascertain the condition of the Xati nal Guard and "now soon they c:uld be prepared for active ser vice. This a'so is a precautionary measure. Indications are that if the National Guard is called on, it would rot be sent out of the' country but would be sent on the Texas borler. The discussion cf the question of reinforcing Gen. Funston a: Vera Cruz has developed a marked difference of opinion in the cabinet. Some take the view that mediation negotiations might be embarassed by siic'.i an act; others believe it a necessary precaution. Gen. Funston is understood to have told the war department Cat his li.ties are vulnerable at different points and that a sudden attack along the railroad would necessitate the withdvawal of forces from other pom's, which would be left un?-v TU /% irjfnrmoH frVlO WQT* jJl UlCVilCU. lie uao uuui mv- . ?*.? department that he will need 15,000 to 18,000 men to hold Vera Cruz and outlying districts. >'o Orders Issued. Secretary G-arrison today said no orders had been issued for any troop movements, but it became known autnori ativelv that contrac.s had been /-.I fnr t'110 r>Vi a rfpriri o" of SP.VPral V.1V/OVU X w A Uiv V?U* vv?.?0 merchant steamers and that within a day or two formal orders would be issued. I: was understood that within two weeks at Least nine transports will have been secured. Secertary Garrison declined to discuss the chartering of steamers. The only ihing he would say was: "There is nj contemplated aggressive movement at this time." This is in line with the attitude o: other high officials of the adminis*ration, who contend that "he sending of reinforcements to Gen. Funston is n t an aggressive act, and does not violate the arrangement for a suspension of hostili*ies. Officials point out that neither the United States nor Gen. Huerta has vet entered into any formal armistice. What occurred was thi*: The mediators suggested that hostilities should be suspended during the period of ' negotiations. To "his Secetarv Bryan | replied that it was assumed there I would be a suspension of hostilities, except to repel attack. Gen. Huerta's I a swer was undcrs ood to be an acceptance Ifiit he exact terms have no: been given out. .Mr. f'ryan has sevral times pointed oir t.iat his (ii.l not e nsli lite a /urinal armistice but only an a^sumpri a hat illties would i)'- sus-i ml.'d .wct-pl to resist aggression. i Article 7 of The Hague convention of which the I'nited Sta es and Mexico are signatories, provides specifically on tro >p movements pending ; mediation as follows: "Article 7. The acceptance o:' : mediation can no . unless there be an agreement to the contrary, have the I effect of interrupting, delaying cr j hindering m:bilization or other meas' nres or pr para ion for war. Must He Specific. "If mediation occurs after the commencement o hostilities, it causes no interruption to ;he miliury ope'a:ijns in progress, unless there be ai agr ement to the c ntrary.*' To w;.at exent the present sus pension at Vera Cruz operates under aese rules appeals tlierei" re to depend largely 011 the construe ion 01 informal unders:andii:g that it was assumed hostilities would be suspended except to repel attack. I Leading authorities on interna ional law hold that an armistice, truce or suspension cf hostilities should be definite and exact and not implied. One cf the leading authorities, Halleck, says: "Such a general suspension of hostilities can only be made by the sov ereigrny 01 the State, either directly or by authority specially delegated.1 Such authority is never implied, and | the enemy is bound to see that the agent is specially authorized to bind his pricipal." i i 1 (When an armistice is formally j agreed to, the authorities hold that j "during is pendency neither party; 1 may engage in any military work,; operation or movement, at least upon rte immediate theatre of war." j This, however, is limited to the "tnearte or war ana it is aaaea: "Each party may in its own jurisdic| tion do with its) armed forces what! ever it could do fn. time of peace. Fortifications can be 'built or put in order, vessels fitted out, troops raised and trained and warlike stores manufactured and collected. Troops can be moved about from one part of a country to another, with the exception of the actual area of hostilities.", 1 iThis la:ter applies only when a formal a'-mistlce is in operation, and it is an open question as to what the condition is when there is no formal armistice but only an assumption that hostilities would be suspended except to repel attack. T.:e fact that the army officers had recommended the sending of at least 50,000 to 60,000 men to Vera Cruz became known generally in official quarters. A number of officials admit ed that the administration was confronted with the problem of deciding whether its military activities would be limited to Dtoteetins Lv I * ? " > 1 forces already a: Vera Cruz or a sufficient number of men would be placed in read!.:ess at Vera Cruz for a flying expedition to Mexico City in case the Huerta regime collapsed and irresponsible bands threatened the lives of Americans and other foreigners in the capital. Mediators in Session. i The mediators continued their sessoins today. Reports that Mexican delegates would come by way of Salina Cruz a..d (Vancouver, B. C., and thence across Canada to Niagara: Falls gave some concern as likely to cause delay. The Huerta delegates planned to avoid passing through the Uni ed S ates, but telegraphic in-1 quiries are under way by which tsese plans may be changed so as to permit the conference to proceed cn May 18 with the Mexican delegates present. j The names of American delegates . to the mediation conference will be announced shortly. I: is known that Justice Lamar of the United States | supreme court and Mayor Xewton D. Baker of Cleveland are two of the men who probably will be named. The administration is still hopeful that mediation will accocmplish something and there is every desire that j the conference shall proceed without : any untoward incident.
