Peace Seems UP TO
WILSON AND HUERTA
R, FRED 5. FERGUSON

United Press staff Correspondent
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, May Is
The success of the conferences held
here during the last week looking to-
ward the establishment Of peace in
Mexico through mediation today prac-
ticallv rested with President Wilson
and General Huerta. Those close to
the A. b. c. mediators today expressed
the belief that negotiations might De
concluded and that the protocol sign
ed within a week.
At all events, it appeared certain
that the work of reaching an agree
ment has progressed to such a point
that an action on the part OF the
Constitutionalists will now have no
effect here The negotiations have
heen carried out on the broad lines OF
pacifying the entire country, and the
rebels will be expected to accept the
issues defined.
Although but one full conference
has been held since the initial ses-
sion, which was purely formal open
ing of negotiations, the medlators
have so progressed in their "eonver-
sations" with the American and Mexi-
can delegates that another full con-
ference is expected at any time. Ihat
Il viii be called this week is believed
certain. 1t might be called today, but
for the fact that mediators and dele
gates alike are worn out by the Trip
TO Toronto yesterday.
The main points at issue IN the
negotiations have been agreed upon
II Is declared. II now rests with Pres
ident Wilson and Huerta to give ap-
nroval Il is practically certain that
/ the peace agreement will include no
direct plan for a redistribution ol
lands. or the general solution OF the
land problem. which has been back ol
every revolutionary movement Jus'
how General Huerta Is to be deal'
with. is still uncertain. II is general
ly understood the mediators have sup
ported the Mexican delegates in theii
contention that Huerta should not b'
denied the right of any other Mexican
to be a candidate for the presidenc,
In the general elections should he de
sire to seek the office.
The land problem has. of course
entered into the negotiations, but /
is understood the agreement vii
pledge any provisional or electeI
president to the institution of land re
forms. rather than set forth definit
plans for the correction of this Ion
standing evil.
Those close TO the mediators ex
pressed the belief early today tha
the landing Of arms at Puerto Mexic
by General Huerta would have no el
feet on the mediation proceedings
Negotiations have progressed too ia
for such an incident to interfere.

Americans HOLD Ships
Carrying mexican arms
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD,

Stan correspondent Of United Press.
VERA CRUZ. Mex May 2s-The
Hamburg-American liner Bavaria,
which. with the Ypirnnga, a German
government charter. landed guns,
barbed wire. and millions of rounds
OF ammunition for General Huerta at
Puerto Mexico, today was held here
by the American port authorities.
Meanwhile General Frederick Funs-
ton awaited instructions from Wash
ngton.
Immediately on ner return to this
port, without the Ypiranga, the Ba-
varia was seized by the Americans
who demanded her manifest from the
German captain. He failed to pro-
duce the document. at first explain
ing that it was lost but later declar-
ing the Mexicans at Puerto Mexico
took It from him.
The Huerta arms and ammunition
we're said here TO have been taken
by the Federals TO Cordoba.
The cargoas of the Ypiranga and
the Bavaria we're said to be the
largest shipments Oh arms and am
munitions ever sent TO a Latin
American country. The Bavaria on
Saturday landed 100000 rounds of
ammunition. many rifles and 1891
rolls, or thirty miles of barbed wire,
according TO General Funston's ad-
vices.
The Ypiranga landed her munitions
yesterday, It was said. This included
l5,000000 rounds of ammunition, rifles
and $50 rapid-ire guns. Mexican Fed
erals took charge of all the munitions
ana removed them to Cordoba.
The Bavaria came directly from Ham
burg and discharged her cargo before
touching at this port. The Ypiranga
apparently landed her war materials
while acting as a refugee ship under
charter by the German government. The
arms and ammunition turned over TO
Huerta by the Ypiranga were the same
that precipitated the American seizure
of Vera Cruz on April 2l.
The arms were those stolen from
Huerta by his agent in Europe and re-
covered in Odessa, through the good
Offices of the Car. The Npiranga was
about to discharge them at Vera Cruz.
Rear Admiral Fletcher could prevent
the landing of the cargo only through
the customs house, so he landed his
marines and blueiaclSets and seized the
customs house. Since that time the
Ypiranpa retained the munitions.
II was unoniciully reported here with
out confirmation that the German ships
landed the Huerta ammunition with the
consent of the administration because
the state Department decided that th'
conditions OF mediation did not permit
of interference.
