TWO MORE AIRSHIPS
SENT TO VERA CRUZ
u. S. Forces Well Equipped Now
for Scouting in Interior
or Over Sea.

Vera Cruz, May 25.-An important ad-
dition was made to the aviation camp
to-day by the arrival Of a hydro aero
plane and a convertible machine for
Use, either on land or water There
are now four flying machines in the
camp.
The additional machines were with
Rear Admiral Mayos squadron of
Tampico, where they could not be used.
They were sent here on the scout
cruiser Birmingham so that the avia-
tors might have an opportunity for
practice flights. Lieutenant 3. l..
Smith, aviator Of the marine section,
made a short fight to-day TO sea, pass
ing over the fleet.
With Lieutenant Smiths machine
the expeditionary force in Vera Cruz
has available a machine for land work
and extensive scouting in the interior.
The hydro aeroplanes Of the navy
corps cannot be used for this purpose
they must remain within easy reach
Of the beach so that the pilot can vol
plane to the water in case Of motor
trouble. Smiths biplane can be fitted
with wheels for land work and used in
any emergency.

MEDIA TON CALLED COMEDY
BY VERA CRUZ NEWSPAPER
No Earthly Reason Seen Why Mexican reople o"0u'o nv
cept Any Plan of Huerta Delegates VINO
in Nowse Represent Them

Philippines say that In spite or opu-
mistic assurances the sanitary depart
ment OF the army will be exceedingly
lucky IL 1t gets through the rainy sea-
son without more or less malarial
fever. The condition in which Amer
cans who have been here few weeks
find themselves was well described by
the colonel of the 4th Field Artillery,
q mountain battery. this morning. He
said he was not sick exactly. but Vera
Cruz gave him q feeling Of just one
damn thing after another.
The colonel was out looking for Cen
eral Navarrette, who, according to ru-
NOR, came to Vera Cruz yesterday In
cognito to take look about the town.
The Vera Cruz "El Presente" denied
positively to-day that Navarrette, who
is a clever young officer In command
of part Of the Mexican forces In this
neigh borhood. was in Vera Cruz. A
policeman had told the colonel that he
saw Navarrette In civilian clothes on
the streets yesterday. The colonel
opined nothing would happen if he did
find Navarrette, but thought he'd like
to have little gossip with him at any
rate.
There is about 100000 worth of
merchandise in custom warehouses
now. on which about 100000 pesos
(Mexican) will be collected in duties.
That is what is meant by bottling up
the port. Aside from the advantage OF
being able to import arms, 100000
pesos would be useful just now to
stubborn old gentleman up on the
hill"

TFrom The Tribune Bureau
washington, May 25.-The landing Oh
q constitutionalIst force at point
forty or fifty miles north OF Vera cruz
ov,dentlv presaging q Constitutionalist
campaign against the Huerta forces III
the vicinity of Vera Cruz, has brought
up a problem which many administra-
ton officials are seriously considering
II Is believed that the rebels Intend TO
attack the Federals around Vera cruz
They have already effected iaho'"s
NJ some hundreds Of men very near
Vera Cruz. and the administration mas
reports that large numbers are also
marching southwark from Tuxpam'
the coast city, taken by General can
dido Aguilar soon after the ran OF
Tampico.
The administration knows OF no rea-
son why the Constitutionalist CAM
paIgn in the State OF Vera Cruz should
not succeed The problem which pre-
sents itself is, What will the Constltu-
tionalists demand OF the United states
~ they succeed in eliminating the Fed
eral force now confronting the Ameri-
can army at Vera Cruz? 4.
II is feared that the rebels will de-
mand the withdrawal OF the American
army. While the administration Is IN
no position to say just when the Amer
lean forces will be recalled. there Is
no intention OF relieving the army from
duty in Mexico until the whole Mexi-
can situation is settled. The capture
of the State Of Vera Cruz by the Con-
stitutionalists will not be settlement,
and President Wilson will probably
not wish to withdraw the troops. II
he is confronted with a Constitutional
list demand he will be very much en-
barrassed.
1t is recognized in official circles that
1t Is up to the rebels of Mexico to dis
prove to their own people that they
are not "Gringos' and that they are
perfectly capable Of Selling the govern
ment and running 1t without American
assistance. In order to demonstrate
this. they are expected to make de-
mands on the United States for the
withdrawal of the American forces.
The War Department has no infor-
nation concerning the landing Of
rebels north Of Vera Cruz. reported
last night in a notification from the
Mexican Foreign Office 10 the State
Department through the Spanish Am
bassador. Such, at least is the state
ment of officials Of the War Depart
ment The Navy Department to-day
received a dispatch from Rear Admiral
Badger, which stated that he had heard
rumors, which he characterized as
very unreliable" Of the Constitution
alist decentralization. He learned that
their purpose was to operate against
the Federals outside Vera Cruz.

BY ARTHUR RUHL.

Vera Cruz. May 25.-Even the vera
cruz newspapers are lambasting the
mediators. Under the heading Com
edy at Niagara Falls" La opin-
ion" says that the delegates can DO
nothing but converse and look at the
Falls. and thatleven IL they arrived at
q plan there is no earthly reason why
Mexican people should feel called on 70
accept it.
Cientifico and Clerical Affiliations are
proof enough for this, apart from the
fact that the representatives OF Huerta
are not the representatives Of the peo-
nile at large. The Mexican Herald's'
comment on the situation this morning
is that Vera Cruz is so gay that every
day seems like modern Sunday, while
the rest of Mexico Is so quiet every
day Is like Sunday at home.
While Il is true that Vera Cruz In
comparatively healthy for city n
TERRA Caliente and that army SANTA
ton will prevent any such disorder as
that at Jacksonville in the Spanish war
time, the old coast town is long waJ
from being a summer resort for those
used to higher ATTITUDES. A continu-
Gus Turkish bath, with its inevitable
effect on vitality, puts the system in a
condition in which constant care must
be used, especially with food.
Soldiers who get regular exercise and
wholesome army food are better VI
than the civilians left to the doubtful
mercies Of the Vera Cruz hotels. Of

eminent to comprise a representative
chosen by the Federals. another chosen
by the Constitutionalists and a third
chosen by the mediators. AS has been
told In these dispatches, the mediators
are loath to accept the responsibility
of selecting even one Of the three men
who are to govern Mexico. But they
are discussing names with the dele
gates and will gladly give any advice
desired
If, however. they can make their good
Offices as mediators so efficient that
the delegates will agree among them
selves on two names, or If the United
States cares to accept the responsible
ity Of naming one, the Constitutional
lists and the Federals selecting the other
two, that plan will be far more in ac-
cord with the ideas Of the mediators
Bryan Plan Key to Solution.
That the Bryan plan. which Is in
turn a modification of the idea which
the mediators all along have enter
tanned, will be modified is probable,
but 1t Is also probable that in some
form 1t will prove the solution of the
problem of choosing men to constitute
the proposed provisional government
The Felixistas, Luis and NJ. G.
Requena and Cecilio Ocon. who ar
rived here last night, have made no
ators, nor is 1t likely that they will.
Furthermore, were they to do so they
