ARATIONS TO MOVE LARGE
BODIES OF SOLDIERS.
Huerta Complains United States has
Violated Armistice-Bryan
Says No.

Washington-Hight tension marked
the Mexican situation on both the mil
itary and the diplomatic sides.
The war department was the chief
center of activity and while no au-
thoritative statement was MADE De-
yond Secretary Garrison's formal re-
ply that mo orders for any national
troop movements have been sent, 1t
became known that the administration
was considering sending off additional
troops to Vera Cruz, and probably
would do so.
Huerta's protest to the med1ators
that the United States had broken the
! armistice by landing additional troops
at Vera Cruz, was considered by the
cabinet, and later Secretary Bryan
announced that the reply of this gov
eminent stated that no aggressive
steps had been taken by the United
/ States forces and that nothing had
been done to violate the suspensions
of hostilities. The American reply
was delivered to the mediators. The
}mediators themselves also took the
view that the question raised by Huer
|
tice could be settled.
Vera Cruz.-Reports of rebel victo-
fies continue to reach Vera Cruz. 1t
was reported that Emaliano Zapata
had taken Cuernavaca, capital of the
state of Morelos, which is within forty
miles of Mexico City. Reports of rebel
successes are still being suppressed

Claims Violation Of Armistice.

Claims Violation Of Armistice.
Washington.-Presid Wilson re-
ceived at the white house Ambassador
da Cana of Brazil, ranking member OF
the South American mediators who are
trying to compose the Mexican trou-
BILE. Neither the white house nor the
minister would make any statement,
but the receipt later of dispatch from
Mexico City stating that Foreign Min
lister Ruise had protested to the me-
diators that several United States tor
pedo boats with a transport and ten
der had landed party on Lobos island,
eight miles off the coast, and had taken
the lighthouse, was believed to have
been the purpose of the ambassador
unusual visit to the white house. 1t
had been reported that Huerta had or
dered all lights on the coast extln'
guished to embarrass navigation, on
the west coast, and the same order
is reported to have applied to the At
lantic coast, so the seizure of the light
house on Lobos island might be held TIC
be a precautionary measure to KEEP
the lights burning and thus protect al
shipping along the east coast where
many British, French, Spanish and 9th
er foreign vessels ply. Such pre-
cautionary measure as the taking OF
the lighthouse, it is contended, coule
not be considered a seizure of the isl

any charge of violation of the arms

NEWS OF The FATE, OF PRIVATE
SAMUEL PARKS MUST BE
GIVEN.
"IT WAS A HOSTILE ACT"
If lnfantryman Was Killed az Report
eds Considered Breach OF the
Armistice

Washinston.-The United States mas
demanded of the Huerta Government
news of the fate of Private Samuel
Parks, the American infantryman, VINO
strayed into Mexican lines near vera
Cruz. declaring that unless 1ntorma-
ton about him was given Immediately
the American Government would con-
slider that IAN unfriendly and hostile
act" had been committed in violation
of the understanding for cessation
of hostilities pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary BY
an, it was learned, drafted strong
communication, after receiving WORD
from the Brazilian Minister in Mexl-
co City that Parks had been "execut-
ed"
= No mention was made in the M1n-
listers report of whether he was shot
as a spy after a court martial or
whether his body was burned as has
been reported peristently to General
Funston.
The American Government cabled
the Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government the strong 1eel-
ing of the United States in the matter
directing him to make vigorous rep
reservations concerning the incident.
The note asked the Minister to pro-
test to the Huerta Government that II
Parks were alive, the failure to ex-
plain his whereabouts was in itself an
unfriendly attitude and that If the
| soldier had been executed, as has Deen
reported, such execution OF man
who came into the Mexican lines in
| full uniform was contrary to mll1try
| procedure of civilized Nations and was
| an act of hostility.
No mention was made in the Amen
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the matter
but an official close to the President
said it was one of the things which
would be held up against the Huerta
| Government when the final reconlne
came over offenses committed against
the United States.

SENATE BILL HAS PASSED

Washington.-D. C.-Within another

ture is expected to report its cotton
futures bill, as an amendment for the

It is conceded to be practically GER

nation of the exchange if it would not
be reformed.
Here is the only difference between
the two bills:

change through the federal power to
regulate commerce, and make it effec-
tive through it's control over the mails,
telegraph and other means of commun-

Juarez, Mexico.-The most desper-

lean revolution is being fought at Tam
pico, according to reports reaching
Constitutionalist officers. 1t is report
ed some of the Oil wells and tanks are
burning and that portion of the town
is on fire.
All Americans, it is said here, were
taken aboard vessels, but other 1or-
eigners are still in the Oil we'll dis
trict. By the light of blazing oil tanks,
fired by stray shots, the rebel artli-
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
twenty heavy field guns into the
strongly entranched positions held by
Gen. Igr.acio Morelos Zaragoza, the
federal commander in the center OF the
town. They swept the breastWorks
with a hail of shrapnel in an effort to
open the way for dash by Gen. FAB
10 Gonzales infantry. For the hrsl
time in the fighting, soldiers OF Huerta
and Carranza were on equal terms IN
the matter of artillery. The twenty
French field guns, captured by General
Gonzales of Monterey and placed II
position before Tampico, has done tire
mendous execution.
Seven thousand Constitutionallsts
under Pedro Gonzales and Luis Caba
rillo, are engaged. Gen. Jesus Car
rama, with his brigade, was though
to form part of the forces attacking
Tampico, but it was learned later his
brigade was sent back to Monterey TO-
