to Benton Case.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June S.-Gen-
eral Huerta authorized his delegates
to the peace conference to say Fri
day that he will accept in its entirety
the plan agreed upon here and sub
mitted to him and to President VIII
son nine days ago.
One word from President Wilson
approving the agreement reached
here would conclude the conference
and avert war, but that word is not
forthcoming.
The Express adds that this commu-
nication, decorated with all the frills
and embroidery of diplomatic usage
and couched in language emphasizing
Great Britain's good will toward the
United States, places President Will
son in an awkward position"
An editorial in the Express express
es satisfaction that the government
has put its foot down. 1t disclaims
any attempt to subvert the Monroe
doctrine is being made.
The editorial declares, however, that
the whole nation will approve Sir Ed
ward Grey's straightforward declara-
tion that if the United States fails to
exact reparation Great Britain will ex-
act it.
Mexico City, June S.-Persons who
spoke to President Huerta during Fri
day say that he is optimistic over the
outcome of peace negotiations at Nj
agara Falls. The newspapers ex-
pressed the belief that there soon
would be a resumption of diplomatic
relations with the United States.
Washington, June S.-Reports that
Rear Admiral Badger, under orders
from Washington had seized the GUS
tom house at Tampico caused the
navy department to issue an official
denial.
Government officials refused to ad-
NIT knowledge of the movements of
the American schooner Sunshine, but
1t was generally conceded that if the
vessel had landed cargo Of war muni-
tions for the constitutionalists at Tam
pico it would not be subject to any
penalty so far as the United States
was concerned.
With the Cuban steamer Antilla en-
route from New York to Tampico with
arms consigned to Carranzas forces
there had been speculation as to what
Il u,,
erta government should attempt to
blockade Tampico.
Every indication, however, is that
the United States would maintain its
position that Tampico was an open
port.
Admiral Badger was still keeping
watch on the Huerta gunboats at
Puerto Mexico and Alvarado. If these
gunboats manifest any signs of NOV
ing toward Tampico Admiral Badger
will report at once to Washington.
Fines imposed by General Funston
on the German steamer Ypiranga and
Bavaria were considered by Secretary
of War Garrison, who is gathering all
the facts connected with the landing
of war material for Huerta at Puerto
Mexico in preparation for considera-
tion of claim made by the Hamburg
American Steamship company for q
remission of the penalties.
Carl Buenz, general agent of the
company, called on the secretary and
declared the German ships sailed
from Germany with ammunition be-
fore the American occupation of Vera
Cruz and without any intention of
violating port laws.
Vera Cruz, June S.-Arms and am
munition for the constitutionalists
were disembarked at Tampico from
the American ship Sunshine, CON-
manded by Captain Brown, who car
ried out the operation without oppo-
sition.
Brigadier General Funston an
nounced that he contemplated appoint
ing a commission of Mexican residents
and American army officers to inves-
tigate the increased cest of living in
Vera Cruz since the occupation. Com
plants have reached the general that
wholesale dealers and importers have
been squeezing the retail dealers and
hotel keepers.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June S.-Still
without intimation of what General
Carranza's answer would be on the
question of constitutionalist represen-
tation in the peace parley, the media
tors and American and Mexican dele.
gates worked during the day on details
of the, general peace plan. There was
no general conference, however.
