officials tonight expressed confidence
that the Niagara Falls mediation con-
ference will continue for some time,
limitations were given that develop
ments in the internal Mexican situa-
tion soon might open the way for a
peace agreement.
Secretary Bryan talked over the tel
eph0ne with American delegates at
Niagara Falls today. but refused to
make any announcement. He reiter-
ated the statement that mediation is
progressing satisfactory and appeared
interested in the report that Villa had
attacked Zacatecas and had captured
some Federal outposts.
1t was asserted tonight that Rafael
ZubaTab and Louis Cabrera had not
been handling the ConstitutionaIist
negotiations here satisfactorily to
either CarranZa or Villa and the re-
port that Fernando Calderon had left
SaltillO for Washington was taken as
an Indication that he is to take charge
of, the COnstitutiOnaIist interests. Cal
deFon has been comforting with Car
rahZa, Tt was suggested that Calder
Cn's cOming might presage actual in
formal negotiations relatives to prOvi-
sional government plans with the Uni
ted States and Huerta- delegates at
Niagar Falls.
The information here, however. was
that Villa was to continue his advance
toward Mexico City.

GEN. CARRANZA AGAIN
DECLINES AN ARMISTICE

Fl Paso, June 21.-General Carranza
has forwarded a reply to the two notes
sent him by the Niagara Falls media
tor commissioners, it was learned here
today. The reply was sent to the Con-

ington to be forwarded.
CarranZa's note, it is understood,
pointed out the futiIity of discussing
the internal Mexican affairs. He de-
clared his willingness TO participate in
n conference whose sole object he re
ccgniZed to be the paCificauon Of
Mexico. Among subjects he consid-
cred it impossible TO discuss were the
proposed armistce. military move
nents Of the Constitutionalists, the
AgTarian question. ana designation OF
a provisional president for Mexico.
He declares that settling such Ques-
tions BY mediation, intervention or ar
bitration are Unacceptable to the Con-
sIituG0nalists. The feeling in SaltiUo,
is said TO be that the reply has ended
the interchange OF notes.

OUTBOUND


A lonely sail in the vast sea-room
/ have put out for the port of gloom.
The voyage is far on the trackless tide,
The watch is long, and the seas are wide.
The hcadlands blue in the sinking day
Kiss me hand on the outward way.
The fading gulls, as they dip and veer,
Lift me voice that is good to hear.
The great winds come, and the heaving sea,
The restless mother, is calling me.
The cry of the heart is lone and wild,
Searching the night for her wandered child.
Beautiful, weariless mother of mine,
In the drift of doom am here, am thine.
Beyond the fathom of hope or fear,
From bourne to bourne of the dusk steer.
Swept on in the wakeofthe stars In the stream
OF rowing tide, from dream to dream.
