Definite Action Expected,
However some such definite action
is expected shortly. 1t is understood
that the conference of President WI

Constitutionalists. who compose tho
party OF the rebellion, viii have the
opportunity to vote and protection az

been denied them. The American
Government, 1t is likely, will suggese
means for holding such election, and
even may direct it's machinery. 1t IS
known that President Wilson favors
