nounced that he had returned an an
swer to the note of the Niagara Falls
mediators, stating that he would ap-
point representatives to the confer
ences at Niagara Falls.
The names of the representatives
were not made public. The note sim.

and did not mention conditions on
which the constituencies would
take part.

Niagara Falls. Ont-An important
point in plans for the pacidcation of
Mexico was gained by the United
States through the conciliatory spirit
displayed by the Mexican delegation.
What had been a stumbling block for
several days was passed in safety.
In full conference OF the mediators
and the delegates of both countries It
was agreed that the transfer OF au-
thority from the present administra-
tion TO the new provisional govern.
ment should be accomplished in some
other way than by General Huerta's
appointment of minister Of foreign
affairs to succeed to the provisional
presidency. This method, provided
for in the Mexican constitution will
be abandoned because the United
States insisted that to assent to II
would be tantamount to a recognition
OF General Huerta's right to exercise
constitutional functions.

100000 Well Armed Fighters Ac-
eording to Gen. carranza.

Saltillo.-Zacatecas is making n
desperate resistance to General Ma.
terra and although the constitutional
lists have captured Guadalupe, Mer.
cedes and Grillo, suburbs of the town,
they were repulsed twice with heavy
losses from the fortified hill of La
Buffa which is one of the strongest
defenses of the town. General Nate
ra reported to General Carranza that
his charges at La Buffa were met with
withering artillery fire from the
federal defenses, which he said were
extremely strong. but his men were
in fine condition and spirits and were
not discouraged at the checking CIV
en- them. He reported that the cas-
ualties on both sides were extremely
small The arrival of reinforcements
sent him from Torreon by Villa is
being delayed by heavy rains and
washouts along the National railways.
He said the federal entertainments
showed that much labor had been
spent IN tnelr preparation.
Takes Small Towns.
General Gabriel Hernandes report
ed that June IL he captured Xicoton-
calf, Puejutia, Wales, Tamahua, Ar
matian and other smaller towns in
Hidalgo, capturing many arms and
much ammunition and two field
pieces.
Cuernavaca was captured June by
Zapata, according To cable received
by General Carranza.
General Carranza declined to dis
cuss the scope of action or the powers
which will be delegated to the repre-
sentatiyes OF the constitutionalists to
be sent to Niagara Falls. He also de-
clined to discuss the possibility of an
armistice, declaring that in diplomat
ic affairs as in military matters it was
inadvisable that certain matters be
made public.
He asked to be excused from dis
cussing these matters, saying that he
preferred to remain silent in regard
TO them than to have any statement
he might make given a possible mis-
leading construction.
General Carranza, however, seemed
most optimistic regarding the recep.
tion OF the constitutionalist represen
tatives and the success of their mis-
sion. He reiterated the fact that he
previously had accepted the good Of
fees OF the A. b. c. mediators In
principle for the discussion OF inter.
nal questions.

stitutionalists General Carranza spoke

Carranza estimated them at 100000.

Onion in Salad.

Onion is Indispensable to good
salad, but it's presence should never
be obvious The best way to conceal
it is to rub the sides of the dish with
a section of an onion, and not to put
any onion in the salad at all.
Another way is to use half tea
spoonful of onion juice in the salad
dressing. This Is for the French dress
ring, Of oil and vinegar, salt and pep
per The juice is obtained by grating
the onion. 1t is well to set aside a
small crater for this purpose, as the
onion will cling to it. Crate the juice
into saucer and use no more than a
half teaspoonful to a small salad.

August in Maine.
Bartlett had taken himself off to the
dim seclusion of the house, where he
lounged with windows opened, blinds
drawn and a small table of cooling
beverages near at hand. The heat,
the drowsy, shrill hum of the crickets
and the muff1ed, monotonous roar of
the sea had a soothing influence and
Bartlett let his book fall from his
hands and slept, stretched at ease in
