ARMY INCENSED AT
KILLING OF PARKS
Mediation Stays Hand OF Funston
While A B c Diplomats APP
peal to Huerta.
From The Tribune Buresu.l

Washington, May 18.-The army liz
incensed over the killing OF Private
Parks. 2Sth United States Infantry
who wandered through the Mexican
lines at Vera Cruz, and who, according
TO the best information, was executed
nv the Mexicans without trial. Secre-
tary Garrison instructed Brigadier Cen
eral Funston to call upon the Federal
commander for information regarding
Private Parks but, although this de-
mand was made several days ago no
reply has been received.
Representations have also been made
TO General Huerta through the A c
mediators, who were asked TO inform
him Of the facts and to request him to
order an investigation.
The army is embarrassed in demand
ing satisfaction for the apparent muir
der of the American soldier by the
mediation proceedings in progress.
While the differences between the
United States and Mexico are being
CONSIDERED, IL Is IOl POiitiN bpi INV
United States to make peremptory de-
mands upon Huerta- lest it be held re-
sponsible for breaking off the media
tory relations.
No excuse for the killing Of Parks
can be found here. Army officers are
convinced that the man was mentally
unbalanced. and as far as is known the
note from General Funston to the Fed
eral commander was sent before Parks
was actually killed. There is, however,
no certainty on this point, as witnesses
to ParkS's death are not available TO
support General Funston in his de-
mand.
Secretary Garrison said to-day that
his future course will depend entirely
upon the nature Of the replies 10 In
quiries now being made jointly by the
State and War departments.
There is nothing to be gained by
getting excited before we know what
the facts are" he said.

Washington, May 13.-The United
States, through the B c mediators, has
informed the Huerta government that II
II will keep the light on Lobos Island
burning the United States navy will glad
" withdraw the sailors now operating the
lighthouse While Huerta apparently has
not been so informed, and while officials
will not officially admit II, the light Will
be maintained by the American navy until
the dictator is in the mood TO SEND MS
own men back to operate the light Sec
rotary Bryan to-day specially requested
the newspapers to say that II the Mexi-
cans will operate the light the United
States government would be much pleased
to have them do so.
Offlcials Of the government contend that
taking the lighthouse was thoroughly JUS
titled under the circumstances and that
the world will stand behind the United
States in the matter. They do not believe
that Huerta will make point OF 1t, nor
demand the withdrawal OF American
sailors.
II is not unlikely that Lieutenant Com
mander LETTERS. commander of the de-
stroyer Tanning, who gave to the Next

hitting that the light was taken by force.
will be reprimanded by the Navy Depart
ment, although Secretary Daniels said to-
day that before discussing the matter he
wanted a full report from the naval Of

That the officer was right in taking
steps to maintain the light is generally
admitted. The fact that he gave writ

Relative of Vice-President Who Was Murdered with

Prisoners of Dirty Old Fortress Today

especially earnest in his explanation
that he was the only support OF his
mama" and that he had never stolen
the bottle Of aguardiente for the sup
posed theft of which he had been sent
far from home and thrown into San
Juan de Ulua.
When seven more men had been
questioned thus and added to those
about to be liberated one of the Amer
lean soldiers asked that still one moro
in whom he was interested might be
questioned.
He pointed out young fellow,
dressed in a pair of cotton drawers
and a blanket which he had flung over
his shoulders AS the men were or
dered into line he had been taking q
bath in the prison moat after work
and had not had time TO put on mis-
shirt.
A stiff norther was blowing in from
the sea and he was shivering in 1t like
some Of the other prisoners who have
come up from the hot country to the
south. He had been arrested, charged
with stealing ten Mexican pesos. out
said that even this charge was untrue
and that the real objection was po-
litical.
His name, he said, was Carlos Sua-
rez. 1t was the same name as that OF
Madero's Inflated Vice-President. who
was murdered with Madero that tragic
night in the capital over year ago.
And Pine Suarez also came from the
South where this boy came from, and
that was one Of the reasons the norther
was so bitterly opposed to him.
His insistence on Pine Suarcz as
Vice-President was one OF Maderos
first mistakes or, at any rate, one OF
the things 81 hich made most trouble
for him even before his administration
had begun.
Asked II he were any relation to the
late ice-Presdent, the boy nodded
and answered:
HE was my fathers brother"
The Mexican officer confirmed this
statement, and said that the young
mans father had a small plantation
near the capital Of Tabasco. Pine
Suarez was born in Tabasco, but left
there when a boy to go to Yucatan.
where he remained until the fatal Jour
nev to the North, from which he was
never to return.
Young Suarez will be set free to-day,
together with the twenty-seven others.
