complaint to both the navy and state
departments by refugees from Tam

Hold Early Conference.

Hold Early Conference.
The mediators had held an early
conference previous to the Ambassa-
doris call at the White House and this
meeting, on Sunday, indicated devel-
opments of more than ordinary impor-
tance. No information was obtainable
from the mediators or the White
egram. But it was believed that a re-
ply had been made.
The navy department has not made
public anything concerning the opera
ton of vessels about Lobos Island.
Admiral Howard cabled to the navy
department, that Huerta had ordered
the lighthouses on the Pacific coast
extinguished so as to impede naviga-
ton by American ships.
The same order by Huerta is re-
ported to have been made as to light
houses on the Atlantic side, so that
the reported seizure Of the lighthouses
on Lobos Island might be held to be a
precautionary measure to keep the
lights burning and thus protect all
shipping along the east coast, where
many British, French, Spanish and
other foreign vessels ply.
AS Precautionary Measures.
AS such a precautionary measure
the taking of the lighthouse, it is con
tended, would be without significance
as an occupation or territorial acquisi
ton of the island, and therefore would
not justify any charge of violation OF
