The name "Chautauqua" like many
other good things harks back to dear
odd North Carolina. Prior to the
coming of tha English this portion
of Carolina wae Inhabited by the Tuscaroras,
a nation or Indians composed
of smaller tribes. One of
these tribes was the Chnutauquas, or
"Chattawka" Indians whose happy
hunting ground was located on Neuse
river, and their Indian town of tepees
called "Chattawka, or Chautauqua"
ocupled the site of the present town
of New Bern.
After the Indian massacre and
war of 1710-11,-the remnant of the
Tuscaroras abandoned Carolina forever.
Our hlfftortna Uartln says,
'in the latter part of June, 1713, the
Tuscaroras migrated northerly near
the shores of Lake Oneida and were
admitted Into the Confederacy of
the Five Qreat Nation's of Indians, afterwarda
known as the Six Great
Nations." The portion of the Tubcaroras
known as Chautauquas, settled
on and gave their name to the

Washington, June 2 4.--Persistent
reports of sniping hy Mexican Federals
on the American outposts at
Vera Cms and rumors ot further
Constitutionalist advance# toward
Mexico City today stirred interest
In military features of the Mexican
situation.
Although the War Department will
make public no reports from Oou
eral Funston regarding sniping on
the American forces, It Is known that
there has been an lnrestlgatlon of
continued reports to that effect.
There hare been many Inferences
Urat Hueita's forces were attempt- % .1
ing to provoke a fight with the AmeiIcan
troopers an? force Interference.
Patient waiting on mediation continued
today to be the attitude of
the administration. The coming of
Alfredo Brecede, a representative of
Carranxa was awaited with Interest *
In official quarters where alme knowledge
of the nature of his mission
was said to have been received from
Consular Agent Carothers.
That Brecede and his colleagues are
coming to participate In conferences
with officials of the Washing
ton government 1b declared to be a
fact but whether they or other Constitutionalists
will go to Niagara
Falls to )oln the American and Huerta
delegates in Informal discussion
of peace still seems problematical.
Administration leaders Insisted,
however, that mediation prospect*
were hopeful.
Hope was renewed that Villa
would not loons ae a stumbling
by reports that he bad asserted h?s
would stand by the results of mediation
conference, irrespective of Cap/
ranza's attitude.
Administration officials read with
uatlsfaction dispatches outlining an
official statement from Carranza'i
headquarters at Salltllo, declaring
that reports of "alarming and deep
division" between the first chtef and
Villa were 1 re.
Semi-official dispatches from Tarnpico
today said it was reliably reported
there that the Constitutionalists
General Natera bad taken Zacatecas
on June 19th and that the
troops were being hurried on to San
Luis PotoBl.
The report was not credited here
by administration officials nor Constitutionalists.
Nlagra Falls. June 24.?Further
discussion of those planks of the
peace program which re'stc to international
differences between the
United tSates and the Huarta government
occupied the mediators and delegates
today while waiting for a definite
understanding on instructions
Issued to Constitutionalists who are
erpected to come here.
It was said at least one of tbj
planks would be framed as a protocol
today, and the others would be
agreed upon by the end of the week.
If the puropse of the principals is
fulfilled-the international side of the
controversy will be cleared up, loeving
the question of selecting a provisional
president and other problems
to a conference of representatives
of the Constitutionalists and
the Huerta government.
Notwithstanding reports from New
Orleans quoting Carranza's spokesman
as casting doubt on the probability
of scuh a meeting, confidence
prevailed in Ameriacn quarters that
ultimately the two factions would
be brought together.
New Orleans, June 2b.?Alfredo
Breceda, private secretary and emissary
of General Carranta, left here
today for Washington. He said he
had nothing to add to his statement
of yesterday that Carransa never
would agree to meet Huerta representatives
in an attempt to select
a provisional president of Mexico.
Fernando lglesais Calderon said
he probably would remain here a day
or two. He said he intended to lay
the case of the Liberal party in Mexico
before Washington officials, but
that he was not an accredited representative
of Carranza on this trip.
He did not say what he expected to
