WILL CONSIDER THE MEXICAN REBELS IN THE GENERAL
 PEACE PLANS DISCUSSED.
MORE REBEL SUCCESSES
Gives Rise to the Beief That Gen eral Plan of Cancellation May Be Possible by the Time the Mediators Begin Meetings.

Washington, May 7.-Deyelopments in the Mexican situation went stead fly forward today although the white house wedding to some extent eclipsed other events in the attention of official Washington.
 The two chief reports from Mexico announced the killing of two Brit ish subjects and one American at .Guadalajara, and continued heavy fighting at Mazatlan on the Pacific coast, where a rebel biplane dropped a bomb that killed four persons and injured eight in the streets of the be- sieged city. The state department also was informed by Consul Hamm at Durango that the movement of the constitutonalists had begun south ward against Satillo and Zacatecas.
 The envoys from Argentina, Brazil and Chile continued their sessions, which largely are by way of prepara- ton for the meeting at Niagara Falls May IS. One important phase of their work developed during the day. This was that, despite Carranza' B self-elimination from the conference the constitutionalist side of the MeXi- can problem would be fully consid. cred by the mediators at the coming conference.
 President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have determined to appoint as delegates to the mediation conference men of judicial ability and if possible familiarity with the proceedings of arbitral tribunals. A man close to the president said today it would not be surprising if a justice of the su- preme court of the United States was one of the three representatives of the American government Mahlon Pittney, though republican, is close friend of the president, and may be chosen Justice Day was a member of the Paris peace confer ence and a former secretary of state; Circuit Court Judpe George Gray of Delaware, also personally in- innate with the president and an American delegate to the Hague, is another who is considered likely to be chosen. Counsellor Robert Lan- sing of the state department, busy with his duties at the department, may not be spared; but if satisfac- tory arrangements can be made to take care of his work he may be se- lected Henry D. White, former am bassador to France, also is spoken of as a possibility.
 Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former charge d'affaires at Mexico City, ar rived i'll Washington today. He saw Secretary Bryan for only a few min utes and deferred his report to the president and to Mr. Bryan until to- morrow.
 Reports from the Brazilian ambas- sador at Mexico City stated that trainload of American refugees, 300 to GOO in number. left Mexico City for Vera Cruz in two sections yester- day evening. General Huerta per mitted guard to accompany the train. One of those on the train was Dr. Edward Ryan, the American phy- sician who had been under arrest on espionage charges, and who was re- leased in deference to strong repre- sentations on the part of the Ameri- can government,
 Equally strong representations have been made in behalf of John R., Silliman, American vice and deputy consul at Saltillo whose disappear ance at San Luis Potosi has caused anxiety at the state department. Both the Brazilian ambassador and the French charge d'affaires who yis- tied General lHuerta to request assur- ances concerning Mir. Silliman, were assured that orders to protect the missing consul had been sent to the federal commanders. As Saltillo Is cut off from communication with the capital and perhaps now in the hands of constitutionalists, the orders, the diplomats stated, probably might not reach their destination.
 Tn the senate, Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee on mili- tary affairs, introduced a resolution authorizing the president to 'in- crease the regular army above the
