Washington. May 5.-Generd Car
rama and the Constitutionalists were
eliminated from proceedings OF the
three South American ENJOYS who
have undertaken to solve the Mexican
problem by mediation.
1t 10 known also that the United
States. refusing to agree to formal
armisuce or permit any question ot
national honor to 60 before the con-
ferees, may decline to name a medi-
ator.
Up to a late hour last night Bryan
had not replied to the mediators al
to the appointment of American dele
gates. The length Of the envoys' con-
ference with Secretary Bryan led to
the belief that some Of the crucial
questions were being approached.
At the same time the military as
pect of the situation became increas-
ingly prominent again. General Funs-
ton reported renewed demands by the
Mexican federal outposts for the sur
render Of the waterworks supplying
Vera Cruz. No shots were fired. and
the Mexicans retreated. General Funs-
ton. after receiving information that
federal troops were moving artillery
down the railroad from the capital
toward Vera Cruz. probably for Cen
eral Gustavo Mas 1t Soledad. con-
ferred with the officers OF the fleet.
It was arranged to land q number OF
field pieces from the warships and
lily available.

vailing spirit in military quarters In
inquiring as to what steps the United
States contemplated. In view OF the
threatening situation.
Secretary Garrison conferred with
his military chiefs, but said no fur
ther orders had been given for the

Word that Huerta was in desperate
straits came from many quarters. One
dispatch from a foreign minister al
Mexico City said briefly OF Huerta:
Position desperate" but gave no de
tails. Still another referred to the
doubtful attitude Of the troops here
tofore loyal to Huerta.
Information also came tnat the
quarrels between General Banquet
minister Of war. and Huerta, might
bring Banquet to the front in the
event Of Huerta's fall, much as Huerta
rose on the collapse Of the Maderc
regime and the Felix Diaz movement
The South American mediators held
three sessions during the day and
night. announcing through Secretary
Bryan that General Huerta had desig
mated d. Emilio Rabasa, an eminent
Mexican jurist: Augustin Rodriguez
and Luis Elguro as his delegates te
confer with the mediators.
In q telegram to General Carranza
the mediators announced that In view
Of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send a per
sonal representative to participate II

WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS

Following is the official statement is
sued as representing the views Of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dweIt upon:
1T has been pointed out that, In
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the IN.
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity Of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
Gus derelictions of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed In Jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships of the United States in the har-
Dor Of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post Office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and a nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but it was signif1-
cant that an orderly from the fleet of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships in the harbor, rep
resentfng several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials in
charge of the telegraph Office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an Off
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to it's embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver it, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
d'affaires of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de
maRd, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out.
ct cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course of events in
Mexico as significant that untoward
incidents such as these have not oc-
CURED in any case where representa-
tives Of other governments were con-
eerned, but only IN dealings with rep
resentatives of the United States, and
that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government
of the United States was singled out
for manifestations of Ill will and con-
tenn -

phine for Tampfco to get a fresh sup
ply Of gasoline

Paymaster Copp and his men were
placed under arrest as they stepped
ashore.
After the Americans had been de-
tanned several hours, word of their ar

expression Of regret for the alleged
mistake.

Mining In Korea.

Gold exists in Korea in quantities to
render its mining profitable. but it has
as yet given no promise of ever sensi-
bly, affecting the worlds supply. Iron,
coal, graphite, silver and copper are
also found, but as. yet they have not
been sufficiently exploited to justify any
estimate being formed as to their fu-
ture influence on the wealth and pros
perity of the country. Under their own
laws the people were forbidden to en-
gage in mining operations, and the
only concession that was made was

that which permitted placer mining be
ing carried on in small areas by very
limited associations, in the most primi
tive manner. For this heavy fees had
to be paid to the government; and as
the fees were certain, while the prod

dustry was not one which attracted
either capitalists or prospectors OF
good repute.

Additional marines have received

son. OF this place. who represent the
settlers on the Board of Directors of
the North Side Canal Co., in company
with Water Master Rinker. made an
inspection OF the main canal where
the same is blocked with an Ice gorge
with view OF devising some means
OF opening up the same SO that water
could again be run through It.
1t was found, however, that this
would be impossible as long as the
freezing weather continued, as the
canal is blocked full OF ice to the
top OF the bank for a distance of
nearly mile, and the only hope OF
obtaining water for the tract Is a
warm spell that will thaw the ice
sufficiently TO get a small stream
through. This usually comes after q
short cold spell, and 1t is to be hoped
that we may experience few warm
days In the near future, as a continu-
alton OF the present cold weather
Will mean that the settlers will get
no water In the coulees before spring.

The new train service adopted on
the North Side branch of the Short
Line promises to be big improve
ment over the former schedule, al
though the irregularity in the arrival
and departure of the trains since this
schedule was adopted has been an
noying to the passengers. Last Thurs
day special train bearing General
Supt. Whitney and Mr. Hartman
passed through here over the branch,
and Agent Avery was assured by Mr..
Whitney that as soon as different en-
gines could be obtained delays would
be less frequent. The present sched-
ule calls for a running time Of lit
tie over 10 miles per hour. which II
the fastest time ever adopted on the
branch, and as the large engines on
the run are prohibited from making
over Is miles per hour, lighter en-
gines will be substituted, which will
enable them to make the time.

To Take Over Waterworks.

The city OF Wendell Is arranging
to take over the Wendell waterworks
system on the first day Of January,
1915, under the contract Of purchase
made with the representatives OF the
bondholders some time ago.
Bonds amounting to $4,000 was
voted at an election held on October

sold, but the council is in receipt Of
several bids on them. the highest up
TO this time being that made by Jas.

OF 96 cents with all printing and en-
craving Of bonds to be furnished by
them. The notice OF sale will be
found elsewhere in this Issue OF the

are received they will be sold. al
though the city has one year from
Jan. l to make the payments.
An ordinance is also published In

CAVERN FULL OF SKELETONS.
Remains of Thirty People Found In
the Lava on Clover Creek.

Gruesome evidence OF an awful
tragedy Of the past, century, per-
haps two centuries ago, was revealed
last week when = party of Glover
Creek boys came upon a cavern full
Of human bones and skulls. The
boys we're Will and George Miller,
sons Of G. A. Miller, and lad named
Hess. The cavern Is simply q cleft
or cash in the lava rock and is locat.
ed at the top OF lava knoll, situated
In the midst Of an old alfalfa field
that has been cultivated for years.
located about ten miles northwest
OF Bliss.
Tn, skeletons were in plain view
from one standing on the top Of the
knoll and 1t would appear strange
that they have never been discovered
during all the years that the field
has been cultivated. The boys re-
ported that there were bones as far
back in the cavern as they could see
They brought out ten perfect skulls
and from the fragments of others
they saw and the number OF bones
they estimated that there were al
least thirty skeletons In all. Some
of the skulls we're small, evidently
those OF children. Some of the fort
arm bones were still encircled b!
rude bracelets. made Of copper, show
ing a crude attempt at engraving. l
is not reported whether any nipple
ments we're found.
Who composed this party, how the,
met death. and when, are subject
upon which to speculate. 1t is pre-
sumed that 1t was party of Indians
men, women and children, fieein
from some hostile war party and tina
refuge was taken in this cavern o.
the knoll because Of its commandin
position. affording view OF all tn
surrounding country. Evidently tn
entire party was overtaken and mas
sacred. 1t Is simply one Of the mum
berless unwritten tragedies of tn
primitive wilds.
