errand in the capital but 1t was be-
tlieved to concern the shipment OF
arms and ammunition sent to the
American embassy which Huerta only
now after two weeks has consented
to release, piecemeal from bonded
warehouse.
The secretary of state tonight de.
clared that he knew nothing officially
of the presence with Lind and Charge
Nelson O'Shaughnessy in Vera Cruz
Of the British charge d'affaires. News
dispatched to this effect gave rise to
reports that the United States and
Great Britain were jointly consider.
| ing the compromise offered by Huerta
through Rojas, but there was no con-
flrmation of these reports obtalnaole
in official circles here.
The proposals made by Rojas in his
conference with Lind led to the be-
lief that he would become provisional
president of Mexico in the event that
Huerta resigns.
In meeting callers President Wilson
has gone out Of his way to express
favorable opinion Of Roias as man
and as statesman. Bryan said that
he had caused the record Of the foreign
minister to be investigated and had
found nothing Objectionable" in it.
Rojas was out of politics at the
time of the Felix Diaz uprising which
led to the assassination of President
Madero and Vice President Suarez
and SO has not been allied with the
Huerta party until he was made Tor
eipn minister when he announced at
the start TINT he had plans which he
thought might bring about an agree
ment between President Wilson ana
the Mexican government.

IRELAND READY TO FIGHT

as today. The king held repeated
conferences with his ministers. Ev-

manned at his post, instead OF taking
his usual weekend holiday. Troops
were on the move. A conflict In the
lbitter fight growing out Of home rule
now requiring but one more passage
in the house Of commons to make 1t
la law, appeared imminent.
From Belfast came reports OF prep
|arations of the men of Ulster to re-
sist the government. So delicate was
the situation that Sir Edward Carson,
Ulster leader, in his headquarters at
Craigavon, counselled calmness on tae
part Of his followers, while War Sec
|retary Seely directed General Paget,
commanding the British troops In
ireland, to take extreme care not to
provoke an outbreak.
The day passed without clash, but
Ulster tonight literally slept on its
arms.
The reinforcing of various garri-
sons with British troops continued
far in the night. War ships dropped
anchors in the harbor. Within an
other twenty-four hours, the govern
ment expects to have enough troops
In the north to adequately defend
every garrison from possible raids and

Colonel Seely to Buckingham palace.
LIT was following this conference with
