NO DANGER AT VERA CRUZ
General Funston Sends Message Say.

ing NO Attention Should Be Paid to
Reports That Mexicans Arc Threat
snins Waterworks There.
Washington, My 13.-President
Wilson and members of the cabinet
discussed plans for participation by
the United States in the Mexican
mediation conference, to begin next
Monday at Niagara Falls, Ont, and
various problems which have arisen
since the occupation of Vera Cruz by
American military forces.
Just before the cabinet met mes
sage was received from General Fun
ston at Vera Cruz in which he de-
clared no attention should be paid
to reports that Mexican forces were
threatening to attack the Vera Cruz
waterworks.
General Funston added that 200
sacks Of American mail, destined for
Mexico City and delivered at the
break in the railroad, still lay in the
tracks in possession of the Mexican
outpost. He had no news Of Private
Parks, who rode into the Mexican
lines and has not returned.
Among issues the president and the
cabinet had under consideration was
the appeal from the Brazilian minis
ter at Mexico City to General Funston
on behalf of five South Americans
under arrest at Vera Cruz for "snip-
ing" American soldiers from a tramp
steamer. Three Brazilians are among
the prisoners and the appeal, coming
from a diplomatic representative of
one Of the mediating nations, presents
delicate problem.
The manning by American forces of
the lighthouse on Lobos island, off
Tampico, which Huerta's foreign
minister has protested is a violation
Of the armistice, also was taken up.

Ell Paso, Tex, Mey 13.-The Consti-

According to Pesquieria the actual
bombardment Of Saltillo will begin in
three days. Rumors that the Consti-

continue There is no confirmation.
Carranzaist leaders regard the cap
