AMMUNITION FOR
HUERTALANDFDA At
PUERTO MEXICO
Vessel Which Was Pre-
vented From Landing It's
Cargo at Vera Cruz Seeks
Another Port.

Washington, May 2S.-Ammunition
consigned to the Huerta government in
Mexico which had been kept in the
hold of the Gerban steamship Ypiranga
since the American occupation of Vera
Cruz, was reported to have been land
ed yesterday at Puerto Mexico.
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz cabled
this information to the state depart
ment and 1t also was reported from
other sources to the war department
that arms consigned to Huerta had
been landed at Puerto Mexico from the
German steamer Bavaria Both steam
ers belong to the Hamburg American
line
No effort to prevent the delivery of
the ammunition consignments was
made by officials of the United States,
Puerto Mexico being an open port and
the United States having agreed to a
suspension Of hostilities during the me-
diation Of the Mexican imbroglio at
Niagara Falls.
1t was made plain at the state de-
partment that the only possible way for
the United States to have prevented
the shipment of arms through Puerto
Mexico would have been to seize the
custom house as was done at Vera
Cruz when the Ypiranga was about to
land her cargo at that port, This
would have been an open violation of
the suspension Of hostilities and would
have disrupted mediation.
The reported delivery of these car
goes aroused considerable speculation
in view of the fact that arms on board
the Hamburg american ship Kron-
prinzessln Cecilie consigned to Huerta
through Puerto Mexico several weeks
ago were turned back on orders of Of
ficials OF the steamship conf any at
Havana. At that time the Bavaria was
reported to be en- route with her cargo
and the announcement was made from
the same source that the ammunition
would not be landed upon orders of
the steamship company.
Why different disposition of the
cargoes at this time was made, gov
eminent officials here did not appear
to understand but the suggestion was
made that the arms on the Kronprin-
zessin Cecilie originated from an Amer
lean source and that delivery was pre-
vented by order of the American ship
pers through the steamship company
oHlClalS.
Robert Lansing, counselor of the
state department, made public the re-
ports concerning the delivery of the
ammunition to Huerta, Secretary Bryan
being absent at the time the informa-
ton reached Washington. When Mr.
Bryan returned to the department he
was at once informed of the messages

surprise. Already landed the arms Q
He declined to make further comment
on the dispatches.
Rear Admiral Badger eabled the
navy department from Vera Cruz to-
night that the steamship Ypiranga dis
charged her cargo at Puerto Mexico
yesterday afternoon. The dispatch
added:
mo specific information regarding
character of cargo discharged, but
every indication Ypranga landed hel

Steamer Bavaria Held.

Vera Cruz, May 2S.-The German
steamer Bavaria has been held here
upon her arrival without manifest at
Brigadler General Funstop's order. The
Bavaria recently landed a large guam
tity of ammunition on Mexican soil.
1t is estimated that the Bavaria put
ashore 100000 rounds of ammunition
The cargo was destined for Vera Cruz
but was diverted to Puerto Mexico The
steamer reached here Sunday The
captain could not produce a manifest
declaring to the captain of the port
that 1t had been taken away from him
by the American authorities. Later
he admitted landing the cargo which
included also 5000 rolls of barbed wire.

that large shipment OF ammunition
had Just been received. making two
shipments in less than two weeks de-

milton to carry on its campaign against
the constituttonalists.
The Brazilian minister Is endeavor DR.
ing to have Washington permit the re-
lease of merchandise at Vera Cruz,
consigned to firms here, without the
payment of duties to American authori-
ties. The plan is to have the merehan-
disc sent to the capital by way of
Puerto Mexico, where the duties will
be paid to the Mexican government
The captain OF the Bavaria is liable
to a fine under the Mexican laws,
which are being administered by the
collector of the port, Captain Herman
o. Stickney. The shipment Of arms,
consigned for Vera Cruz. but landed
at Puerto Mexico, forms violation of
the laws, and the absence of a mani
fest a second violation.
Brigadier General Funston said the
question of fines was entirely In Cap
tain Stickney's hands, but the collector
said today that he had not actually
levied as yet.
The Bavaria Is held here only be-
cause clearance will be refused until
the matter of fines is adjusted. The
customs officials assert that SO far as
they know the arms shipment on the
Ypiranga of the same line which pre-
cipitated the seizure of Vera Cruz by
the American forces was still aboard
when that vessel left here for Puerto
Mexico two days ago.

Rebel Cooperation Necessary.

New York, May 28.-"As long as we
did not know what the conference was
going to discuss it was well to stay
out of It," Lous Cabrera, prominent
Mexican constitutionalst, said last
night. in referring to the mediation
congress at Niagara Falls.
But when they take up the real
issues" continued Mr. Cabrera, I'VE feel
that we ought to be represented.
cannot see how the mediation proceed
ings can come to practical result
without the constitutionalists and
without practical scope for them"
Mr.. Cabrera arrived in New York
after nearly two months spent with his
family in Spain. He has been sug-
gested as a compromise candidate for
provisional president of Mexico.
1T must be Carranza," said Mr.. Ca
brera. ANY other man than Carranza
will fall, even IL he is a constitutional
list. Carranza Is well known-and has
done the work. The people might hes

| I'VE all recognize him as leader" he
said. He added that he had reported
| to General Carranza and to Emilio
Zubaran. constitutionalist minister of
the interior, now in Washington, and
was awaiting instructions from them.
The situation looks hopeful" con-
tinued Mr.. Cabrera IF Huerta once
leaves the country, nine-tenths of the
difficulty will be eliminated"
! The time was ripe for constitution
alist participation in the mediation
conference, in Mr.. Cabrera's view. He
said, however. that he did not know
whether General Carranza feels that
he must participate.
They will think that they have de-
cided the Mexican situation without

ton of local problems peculiar to each
state.
The Mexican ENJOYS held that these
problems can be best worked out by
their own people after the temporary
central government has been estab-
lished.
AS to what disposal precisely has
been made of the question of the elm
ination of General Huerta, other than
the intimation that his dignity will be
upheld, the mediators remained re-
ticent today. Emphasis was laid upon
the fact that although the Carranza
element had not been represented at
the conference, the plans formulated
by the nediators comprehended the
expectation OF bringing Carranza IN
accord and to the support of the
scheme for a provisional government.
Particularly by one of the mediators,
the confident hope was expressed that
as soon as Carranza and his followers
became acquainted with the proposals
they would agree to cease their mill
tary operations.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Assures Congress ThafH Plan of
Destructive Legislator Is Now
Completed

President Wilson read his message
to congress on Tuesday, and it is an
unquestioned fact that i gives greater
relief to the people of the country
than any message ever written by a
president before. This is due to the
fact that he positively assures the peo-
Pile that his program of destructive
legislation is completed and he will
not whip congress into passing any
more bills along that line. (Of course
he calls it constructive legislation,
but we give it the name more appro-
pirate and more generally used by the
people) Bad as the situation is the
American people now know just what
the worst is and can prepare to meet
lit. 81
On the question of merchant marine
the president should have read the
congressional reports of the past fifty
years. During all this period the ma
jority of the republican party has con-
stantly been agitating bills to rebuild
our merchant marine, but they have
been thwarted by a noisy minority of
their own party aided by a united
democracy. The president now brings
this forward as democratic policy.
His other leading statement is in
opposition to any large Increase in the
standing army or navy and here he
is at his best and this section of his
message meets the hearty approval of
all but the noisiest jingoes. rs,
The most remarkable feature of his
message however is his absolute ST.
lence with regard to the withdrawal
of the troops from Mexico without
the flag being saluted, In his last
statement to congresss-.esAs y announced
that as the reason for sending our
boys to Vera Cruz. Now he does not
even mention the incident, although
ten million dollars were spent, twenty
soldiers and sailors killed, and not
even the semblance of salute. At
this point his silence is more eloquent
than all the thousands of words that
make up the message.

Why Not Give Us the Facts

The president in his talk to news
paper correspondents asked that the
public be warned against reports on
the situation in Mexico. He stated
that there are persons in both the
United States and Mexico who find it
to their advantage to have trouble in
Mexico and are interested in giving
out false reports of the situation. The
about Mexico with grain of salt,
whether they come through he regu-
lar news channels or emanate from

Iby future events as much as the other.
If anything the unofficial statements
have been more reliable than the off
cial, probably because the former pre-
the latter held out false hopes of
quiet and order Even the presidents S
assurances have often been proved un-
justified by facts, leading to a sus-

wishes instead of information.
Something has been happening in
Mexico, beyond question. The press
has given the reports coming from
various regular news sources, without
color. 1t has not sided with any of
the various kinds of revolutionists.
The governments confidential ennis
saries have not preserved such neu-
trality, or, at least, did not few
months ago. They we're partial to
Carranza and Villa until the clash be-
tween those two leaders. If there is
any interest in Mexico or the United
States which would be furthered by
lawlessness and bloodshed, arson, rape
Iand larceny, we should have the par
|ticulars. It is difficult to conceive
how any interest would profit from
the general anarchy which now seems
to prevail. ,
There are certain concrete facts
which the American people do know.
Our marines were landed at Vera
Cruz in April, inficting and receiving
losses. They were later displaced by

remained until November %, when
they departed, taking with them

Why were they sent? Was It to
seize q shipment Of arms and ann
munition consigned to Huerta The
shipment was afterwards delivered
from another port, without molests-
ton. Was 1t 70 compel salute Of
twenty-pne guns ? It was never fired.
Was it TO expeI Huerta? He left
Mexico in July, but the troops re-
NAMED until November %. We're the
troops kept at Vera Cruz to nnlfHtain
order? Then why were they with
drawn at the very time when the So
called constitutionalists had begun to
cut each others throats. These Inys-
teries could be cleared by the presi-
dent and the state department. That
they had good and sufficient reasons
for not taking the people into their
full confidence when publicity might
have thwarted their purposes 10 rec
ognizeds But continued secrecy after
the withdrawal of the troops serves
no obviously useful purpose. The
president might satisfy justifiable
curiosity as to Mexican affairs by
practicing a little of the pitiless pub
licity he has SO often preached.-St.

hears Plot to Dynamite State
Prison

Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 7.-An
alleged plot to make wholesale de-

authorities by officials at Canon City.
The men who it is asserted planned
the break are Marion A. McAdams,

secure dynamite with which to blow
down a wall and make their escape.
Several boxes of dynamite are said
to have been collected for the break,
which was thwarted by Deputy War
den Jameson after he had overheard
the leaders planning the delivery.
Both McAdams and Copeland were
placed in solitary confinement.
McAdams was convicted of Staying
Charles Irwin at the Witcher ranch
two years ago. Copeland was sentenc-
ed for highway robbery from otero

OPINION IN HOBBS CASE
Assessor Cannot Collect Taxes On
Stock of Foreign Corpor-
alton

Denver, Dec. THE supreme court
held in what is known as the Hobbs
case this morning, that taxes cannot
be collected on the stock of foreign
corporations, even if the stock is
|6wned in this state. Some time ago
Charles NJ. Hobbs died. In the set
tlement of his estate it was found
that he owned a great amount of
stock in foreign corporations, this
stock was afterwards listed by the
assessor for taxation. The executor of
the estate fought the taxing Of this
stock on the ground that the property
which the stock represents was taxed
in the state in which it was located.
The lower court in the city of Den
yer held for the executor and the city
of Denver appealed. Today the su-
preme court upholds the lower court
in its entirety.
The opinion was quite lengthy and
deals with all phases of the subject,
quoting extensively from other opin-
ions. The opinion means the loss of
thousands of dollars in taxes to the
state, because it has been the custom
to tax the stock of foreign corpora
tions when the stock was held in this
state,
