Death of Mrs. J A. Hall
On last Wednesday morning
May the 6th the death angel again
visited the home of Mr. J. A. Hall
and claimed his beloved vwifc. She
had been In bad health .for a num
ber, of years, but kept up most of
conference.
VlnVaddititn to discussing the
alarming news that Consul Silli
man at Saltillo is either dead or
still in jail and that the American
consulate was looted, Secretary
Bryan went on to explain the ac
tion of the United States in regard
to lhe four instances protested by
Huerta. These are:
) I The lengthening of General
Funston's lines about Vera Cruz
ani the taking of the water works.
?i ;2The occupation by sailors of
the lighthouse at Lobos Point, an
important light on the east coast
of, Mexico between Tampico and
y era Cruz.
- The reconnoitering of air
ship over Mexican territory.
i'4i-The chartering by the war
department of additional trans-
tjorjts;-;
.Qehei'al Huerta in his note of
protest delivered to President -Wild
sbnby Minister De Gatoa, of Bra
J3tr6nglii jntimatednat the"
United States continues to encroach
omterritory he will not recognize
the work of mediators.
Tomorrow the navy department
through Mr. Bryan will take up
with the mediators a protest a
gainst the extinguishing of navi
gation lights along the Mexican
coast. It is intimated that unless
the lights are restored American
landing parties will be put ashore
to take charge of all the lights.
Protests against the extinguismrig
of the lights have been made to
the state department -by foreign
interests and it is realized some
thing must be done to keep the
shore, lights burning.
Unless Provisional President
Huerta brings about the immedi
ate release of Vice Consul Silli
man, imprisoned at Saltillo, Mex
ico, all hopes of mediation will
ail.
Huerta must either release the
American consul or United States
troops will proceed to his- rescue
or avenge his death. This in sub
stance is believed. to have been the
ultimatum which went forth this
afternoon from the state department.1
