REBELS TO MOVE ON CAPITAL
GENERAL AGUlLAR LANDED 5000
TROOPS AT DELGADILLO.
Federal Gen. Pena, Out of Sympathy
With Huerta, Will Join Rebels at
PuebIa and March to Capital.

Torreon.-General Villa intends to
push into Mexico City before media
ton conferences at Niagara Falls are
concluded, and this has caused
movement OF forces back from Sal
tillo to this city to open the campaign
on Zacatecas.
Villa and his advisers feel that the
conferences will last thirty days and
even longer, and by pushing the cam
paign from all sides can reach Mex
leo City before the end.
Zacatecas will be the first objec-
tive point. An indication that Villa
intends to push the campaign is the
fact that he has ordered Generals
Maclovio Herrera, Luis Herrera and
Manuel ChaO at Parral to report at
Torreon to resume command of their
brigades and lead them in the cam
paign. The Arrie brothers, who have
5000 men at Durango, have also been
ordered to resume field service in
order that the campaign toward Mex
leo City may progress with all haste
Constitutionalist headquarters at
San Antonio received the following
information Monday:
General Candida Aguilar has disem-
barked 1000 constitutionalists at a
point called Delgadillo, i'll the State Of
Vera Cruz, and is now marching over
land to attack the federal forces at
FL TEAR, under the command of Gar
cha Pena.
General Aguilar recently captured
the important city of TuXpam and
soon after started his movement,
which is likely to be one OF great i'm
portance, especially if he defeats the
federals in the State of Vera Cruz.
His march will then be easily accom-
plished to within striking distance Of
the City of Mexico.
1t is currently reported that Gen
eral Garcia Pena, in command of the
federals in the State of Vera Cruz,
and who was more or less active in
the late President Maderos cabinet,
and who has never been in sympathy
with Huerta, is not likely to make re-
sistance to the constitutionalist forces
commanded by General Aguilar,
The forces of Aguilar are expected
to march to Puebla to form a junction
with the forces of SoManos, command
ed by General Isabel Hernandez, a
younger brother of General Gabriel
Hernandez, who was burned in the
City of Mexico penitentiary.

Niagara Falls, Ont-Contrary to
general expectation, Saturday the me-
diators were suddenly and without
warning advised by the Mexican dele
sgates that the situation called for
prompt and decisive action. The
American delegates were notified to
appear and conference after confer
ence followed.
From the moment, shortly after
noon, when it was officially an
nounced that the first full meeting Of
the delegates on both sides was to be
held later in the day, until after the
mediatOrs had gone to the American
side of the river shortly before mid
night, there was an atmosphere of
suppressed excitement about every
move made both by the mediators and
by the representatives of the United
States and Mexico
Speculation and rumor of all sorts
as to the exact purpose of this sud.
den calling together of the entire me,
diation body were virtually set at
rest when it was admitted that the
moving cause for the precipitate step
was the condition in Mexico, the TAX.
ing of Saltillo and the threatened con,
stitutionalist advance on the capital.
1t was declared that while the situa.
ton there hardly could be called criti.
cal, it was grave. 1t was said to be
the desire of the Mexican delegates
to see some form of provisional gov
eminent established in the City of
Mexico before events brought about a.
crisis in the capital There was an
evident disposition to waive all i'm
material points at issue and come to.
gether squarely in an effort to reach
a conclusion.
The meeting was held early in the
afternoon. At its close bulletin was
issued announcing that the confer
ence had been held at the request oil
the Mexican representatives for the
purpose of informing the mediators
and the American representatives OF
the ideas of their government con.
corning several interesting points for
the best solution Of the present diff
Guilty. 1t was decided to maintain Sc
crecy in regard to these points until
a concrete solution shall have been
reached, to which end the informal
conversations viii continue.
The meeting lasted less than hall
an hour, and tie conversation" was
conducted through an Interpreter
The discussion was pointed but goot
natured and the early adjournment
was taken to enable the American
delegates to confer with the authori
ties at Washington.
It was significant that while the
views had berp so divergent as tc
give rise to the distinct statomen
that there was a hitch the atmos
phere was so cleared at the end of the
conference that spirit of optimism
was displayed by all of the partici
pants.
During the afternoon the American
delegates attended, in the little city
of Niagara Falls that lies on the Amer
lean side, the funeral of Andrew Ne
Sanders, an American marine who was
accidentally Killed by a comrade dur.
Ing the occupation Of Vera Cruz.
