w astiiiigion, May 12. From a
source close to the adminstration it
is learned that President Wilson has
hopes that the mediators will sug
gest as a solution of the ; Mexican
cnisis the establishment of a prote
torate in which both the federals anu
Carranzistas shall have representa-
tion.. Besides this important point it
is the hope of the president tuat
Huerta may ibe entirely eliminated
and the United States forces with
drawn. A cable from Mexican Foreign Min
ister Ruiz to the ABC mediators
today brought word that Vice Consul
ibi'iliman who has .been under arrest
at Saltillo, will bo sent to Mexico
City and tunica over to the Brazilian
minister there, who is "looking after
the interests of the United States.
Washington, May 12. Every prepa
ration that can be made by the war
department for the invasion of Mexi
co has been perfected, it was learned
today, at a long conference between
. the secretary of war and all the high
war "officials.
Orders have gone out to hurry the
construction of seven hundred field
pieces which will be necessary under
the plan of active operation in Mexi
co as mapped out by the army war
college. Additional mountain artillery
and ammunition for the mountain ar
tillery have been ordered shipped to
Vera Cruz. Some of these munitions
arc already on the way and more will
go forward on some of the many
transports which are now being re
fitted for service in the transportation
of troops and war supplies.
As the largest body of troops on
the border is concentrated at El Paso
and as reserve will be added to this
force in event of war, shipments of
small arms hae been ordered to that
point.
It is estimated by the ordinance bu
reau that the war department has al
ready for distribution about 600,000
standard rides and while many of
these arms will be concentrated at
El Paso, the real point of entrance in
to Mexico is not there but at a point
on the military map of invasion called
"Caniargo," in the southeastern part
of Texas.
The war department has merely an
nulled the chartering of a few trans
ports, but it is knows that chartering
has been going on in a, large scale.
The four transports which were al
ways available at Galveston would
themselves have been sufficient to
take an -ordinary force of reinforce:
ments to Vera Cruz.
What is expected i3 that the United
States may have to seize another
large port in Mexico. It is generally
understood that this will be Puerto
Mexico if Tampico falls into the hands
of the constitutionalists.
There is a sharp division among
members of the general staff astothe
sending of an army corps from Car
mago by the Monterey route as that
diate clash.
After a long cabinet discussion of
the incident it was concluded today
that the taking of Lobas island by the
scout cruiser Dixie was "technically
an error." Later in the day Secretary
Bryan took this matter up with the
mediators and, it was understood
agreed to an admission to Huerta
that the taking of the island was due
to a misunderstanding.
Huerta will be asked to make the
concession that the Lobas light be
kept burning.
He is expected to agree to this as
there has been pressure from the for
eign powers concerning this light as
well as the other lights extinguished
by Huerta's orders.
The committee of refugees repre
senting the Tampico oil interest which
has interviewed Secretaries Bryan
and Daniels called on Secretary Car
rison today and explained the tremen
dous property losses piling up at
Tampico. Dr. Turner, of the commit
tee brought a map showing the loca
tion of theoil fields and showed that
30,000 barrels of oil a day are running
to waste in the Panuca river. The
committee asks the United States tc
send light draft vessels up the river
so the operators could go ashore and
protect these properties.
Secretary Garrison told his allers
that he could only receive their state
ments as information and that what
thev wanted was entirely a matter
ofr the state department.
It was learned today that Ihe com
mander of the United States cruiser
Chester threatened, to sink a Norwe
gian ship in Vera Cruz harbor from
the deck of which there were some
pot shots taken at United States sail
ors and marines on the morning of
the landing of the United States naval
forces at Vera Cruz.
The commander of the Chester no
ticed this fresh case of sniping and
ordered it stopped. Subsequently he
seized five of the crew and sent them
under arrest to Vera Cruz.
When General Funston took over
the government these five men came
up for trial and at that point the Bra
zilian minister at Mexico City inter
vened. It was found that three of the
snipers were Brazilians, one a Chilian
and one a Peruvian. Consul Canada
reported the facts to the secretary of
war and he ordered Canada to. report
to the state department.
The mediators took up the question
with Secretary Bryan yesterday and
again today. In addition to the good
offices of the mediators the govern
ments of Argentine, iPeru and Chili
have also filed enquiries at the state
department.
Secretary Garrison said today that
he ould not tell what General tuns
ton will do with the international
prisoners. He was awaiting whatever
action might come out of Secretary
Bryan's discussions with the govern
ments concerned.
General Funston reported tonight
that private Maurice Welch, company
A, Nineteenth infantry, was killed to
day at Vera Cruz by falling off a
roof. In his report General Funston
said that Welch met his death while
doing guard duty on the roof of a
building and the accident was not due
to carlessness or negligence on the
port of the soldier.
Welch's home town is not available
af the navy department here tonight.
route is now in the hands of the con
stitutionalists and the department
does not know whether it will have to
tight through the rebel lines in order
to get at the advance posts of Huerta
between Monterey and Mexico City.
The alternative proposition is to be
gin operations by the way of Vera
Cruz, Tampico and Puerto Mexico.
Future developments will decide
whether there shall be an expedition
ary force sent to Salina Cruz.
Huerta has informed the state de
partment that he regards the vast
preparations being made by the Uni
ted -talcs a unfriendly acts and that
under tlm circumstances the putting
, out of the lights on the west coast was
justifiable under the law of nations.
Every officer in the army and navy
and nearly every cabinet officer be
lieves that war and invasion are about
to be forced oa the United States.
This siuation occupied the attention
of the cabinet today and it is plain
that the president has not stopped the
activities of the secretary of war in
his vast preparations for conflict
Similarly the president apparently ap
proved of the action of the navy de
artment except in such Instances
where too strong an obstruction to
Huerta might - precipitate an iaune-i
A full report of the Lobas Islano
incident was received by the navy
department t-day from Admiral Bad
ger and was taken personally by Sec
retary Daniels to Secretary Bryan.
The substance of the report is that
the light house keeper when aban
doning the light was prevented from
taking away wih him any of the es
ssnial parts of its machinery.
The report states that for the pro
tection of the lightkeeper he was
given a certificate by Commanding
Officer Fanning stating that the light
was taken by force. The rqport states
that the operation of the light is con
tidered of great importance to all ves&
sols on the east coast
The lighthouse keeper after receiv
ing the certificate from the navy offi
ccrs evidently telegraphed its con
tents to Huerta and on this Huerta
claims before the mediators to have
written proof that the 1'iiiled States
broke the armistice by invading and
capturing a Mexican island.
Another matter of moment discuss
ed by the cabinet today was the case
of John It. Silliman. vice consul at
Saltillo. Secretary Bryan said today
that he did not know yet why Silli
man was incarcerated. Reports from
several Mexican sources reached the
state department indicating that Silli
man is alive and the Brazilian min
ister cabled that Huerta promised to
secure his immediate release. No in
formation has reached the state de
partment concerning the return of the
stolen slate department code book
and property taken from Silliinaii's
safe.
Such meagre reports on conditions
in Tampico have reached the navy
department that Secretary Daniels to
day cabled Admiral Badger for complete-
details of reported fighting.
This rep;rt is expected to reach
Washington late tonight- Admiral
Badger reported today that heavy
cannonading was heard at Tampico.
Heretofore the only artillery there
was in the possession of the federals,
hut the rebels are reported to have
brought a dozen three-inch field
pieces for the present attack.

FOLK PROMISES STATEMENT
Commission Investigating New Haven
Financial Wrecking Is Expected
to Stand Behind and Sup
port Folk.
Probable Cause Was Shown and the
Defendant Held for Court.
When the trial of Asa Gossett, the
young white man charged with seduc
tion was called yesterday morning, all
those who were not lawfully interest
ed in the case were excused from the
room and the trial was begun. The
court room was packed almost to suf
focation and the crowd reluctantly
left at the order of the courc.
Probable cause was found against
the young man and he was held for
superior court under $1,000 bond,
which he has not been able to raise
and is in jail. Eyery effort is being
made by his family to raise the re
quired amount to liberate the young
man until court convenes.
A strong effort was made by City
Attorney Scarlett to marry the two
young people in the case and thus stop
action against Gossett, but in this he
was unsuccessful. Mr. Scarlett went
so far as to have the marriage license
issued but the register of deeds
learned that the young man was un
der age and that his parents objected
to his alliance with the young woman
and the license were refused.
Mary Bryant and Minnie Morton
were in court charged with conduct
ing a disorderly house and the court
was of the opinion that the two wo
men were guilty and sentenced each
to twelve months at the workhouse.
Wishing to give the women every
advantage possible the court ordered
that they be allowed to leave town if
they cared to provided that they go by
this evening at 7 o'clock.
G. W. Taylor was before the court
on two separate charges; that of be
ing a common nuisance and for in
decent exposure of the person. He
was discharged on the first offense
but convicted on the latter and fined
13 and cost.
Vance White was lined $1 and cost
for an assault and battery.
Oscar Holloway was lined $10 and
cost for carrying concealed weapon.
Flossie Crews charged with lar
ceny, was convicted and lined $10 and
cost imposed.
Washington, May 12.-Growing conflict-
between Attorney General Mc-
lieynolds and Joseph W. Folk, chief
counsel of the interstate commerce
3ommisison threatens to keep former
President Mellen, of the New Haven
railroad,- and other important wit
aesses off the stand and to halt the
oin mission's investigation of the New
Haven's financial wrecking. The is
sue will be decided tomorrow. It is
jxpected that the commission will
stand back of Polk and permit Mellen
to become a witness.
On the one hand the attorney gen-
jral holds that Folk will give iniinu
lity to men who ought to be prose-
:uted if he puts them on the stand
ind on the other hand Folk contends
'hat McReynolds has been giving
them immunity by a course of inac
tivity. He intends to force the de
velopments of facts that will leave
McReynolds no alternative except to
prosecute certain men or permit all
the fact sto become public.
If Folk is thwarted in his purpose
:t is possible that he will resign his
Lposjtion as counsellor for the coin
mission after placing the entire situa
tion before the president.
"This case," said Governor Folk to
night, "has gone' beyond the question
of immunity or no immunity. It has
become a question of whether or not
the public is to learn the facts."
Governor Folk refused to comment
on the situation further but intimated
hat he probably would issue a state
ment tomorrow evening covering the
entire, case. The present situation
before the commission ' is in pursu
ance of a resolution of inquidy by
Senator Norris. A conference is to be
held tomorrow morning between Sen
ator Norris, Governor Folk, members
of the interstate commerce commis
sion and other parties interested.
Senator Norris, it is understood,
will insist that Mellen and othre
prominent men be placed upon the
stand and forced to make public what
they know concerning the Wall Street
manipulation of the New Haven rail
road under penalty of having the en
ire matter taken up directly by the
senate.
It has been broadly intimated that
McReynolds had no intention of bring
ing criminal proceedings against the
New Haven looters although all the
acts brought out by Folk and more
have been for months in the hands of
he attorney general.
