Steamer Captian is Liable.

Vera Cruz, May 27.J The Bavarias
captain is liable to fine under the
American laws and these are the laws
that are being administered by the
collector of the ports. The landing at
Puerto Cruz violates the law and the
absence of a manifest is a second vio-
lation. The Bavaria Is held here only
because clearance will be refused un-
til the matter of fines is adjusted.
Customs officials assert that so far
as they know the arms aboard the
Ypiranga of the same line which pre-
cipitated the seizure Of Vera Cruz by
the American forces still were aboard
when that vessel lett here for Puerto
Mexico two days ago. They assume
that there is no possibility that the
$50 wachine guns Is million rounds
of ammunition and other war mater
ial on the Ypiranga would be landed
as the liner is under charter of the
German Government and was ordered
to Puerto Mexico by the German Min
lister to pick up German refugees.
RumOrs have been current that
some of the materials for which
Huerta has contracted in Germany
had been reaching the Federals by
way of Puerto Mexico. The Bavaria
incident is the first positive informa-
tion of the landing of supplies al
though there have been intimations
that the army and navy has knowl-
edge of other landings or attempted
landings.
! General Funston admitted that he
had no information as to what be-
came of the shipment after it reach
ed Cordoba, and it is assumed that
it already is on the way to Mexico
City. The barbed wire will be of i'm

Executions Not Surprising.

El Paso Texas, May 2S.-Reports
OF the execution of federal officers
in fighting incident to the taking OF
Saltnlo were received with no sur
prise here. The execution of federal
officers was deemed in keeping with
Carranza's proclamation Offering am
nesty to officers if they retired from
service or Joined the revolutionary

In connection with this General
Obregon, commanding the North

MEDIATORS AGREED
ON MAIN POINTS
Although Strict Secrecy Has Been
Maintained Essential Points OF
Agreement Leak Out.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 2S.-Me-
diation conferences nave been in
progress only a week today, but al
ready essentials of plan for paci-
fiCation of Mexico have been agreed
upon.
Details are being withheld until
there is complete agreement on all
subjects, but the main points OF the
plan on which both SIDES at present
look favorably are the following:
Transfer of the executive power at
Mexico City from the hands of Cen.
HueTta to provisional president and
four cabinet ministers. These five
men would share equally the respon-
sibility of putting into operation a
program adopted at the conference
here for the conduct as soon as prac-
ticable of new elections for president,
vice president and members of con
gress. They would be neutral per
sons so far as political affiliations
are concerned, but would be represen-
tative men as nearly acceptable as
possible to all factions in Mexico, in
Guiding the Constitutionalists and
approved, also by the American gov
ernment.
Prompt recognition of the pTovis-
ional government by the United
States,
with hdrawal of American troops as
soon as the new government is in
stalledA
While there may be no formal
declaration on the subject. the Mex.
lean delegation expect n tacit under
standing to be reached that the Uni
ted States will regard as legal the
financial transactions of the present
Mexican congress.
4 In the protocol there will be pro
claimed principles on which a study
OF the agrarian and educational prob.
lens in Mexico would be based.

PROTOCOL MAY Be
SIGNED THIS WEEK
Such is the Progress of Peace
Conference at Niagara Falls.
THE ISSUES WORKED OUT.
Internal Problems in Mexico Are
Yet to- BE DisCuSse' More
Freely


Niagara Falls, Ont, May 27.-
Disposition of the Mexican problem
by mediation had progressed so far
at the end of the days conferences
that those close in touch with the
deliberations predicted that proto-
col would be signed within a week.
The main issues are understood to
have been satisfactorily worked out
in principle Minor issues were said
to have been the subject of con
tween the mediators and the Ameri-
can delegates before attending the
garden party given to the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught and the media
tion colony. En- route tonight from
Toronto to Niagara Falls the media
tors communicated the Americans
views to the Mexican delegates.
Points yet to be taken up relate
chiefly to internal problems and it
is known if it is decided to seek an
agreement upon them at all the
mediators desire to treat them only
in the broadest manner. The atti-
tude of the Mexican representatives
is that these internal problems should
not be entered into by this tribunal
inasmuch as the discussion of one
would lead to another and so on.
MEXICO STATE GOVERNMENT.
In this connection the Mexican del
egates brought up as an illustration
the gorernorship of Mexican states.
and the problem of the relation of the
state government to the provisional
federal government, when il shall
have been established. i pointed
out that to attempt 70 formulate a
of state governments would involve
the mediators to the point of tedium
in the solution of local problems pc
culiar to such state.
The Mexican ENJOYS hold that
these problems can best be work ed
out by their own people. 1t was init
mated today that the mediators also
desire to exclude as closely as consis-
tent from their general plan all de-
