a constitutionalist In the provisional
presidency, although neither Carranza
nor Villa. would be the chief object OF
the conferees.
The chief military development OF
Sunday was a report from General
Funston that the San Francisco bridge
on the interoclanic railroad. rs miles
from Vera Cruz, had been destroyed
by Mexican federals.
General Funston reported rumors
that General Navarette, Mexican COM
mander. was in the vicinity OF Vera
Cruz with 5000 men. Army officers
seriously doubted, however. that Nava-
rette had so many troops.
Although General Huerta has sent
delegates to mediate differences and
they know the viewpoint, there is a
possibility that hostilities may be pro-
voked at any time by the federal
troops near Vera Cruz, which may en-
tangle the situation and force another
crisis.
Developments Affecting foreign in
