$500 RIFLES AND
PISTOLS SEIZED
IN VERA CRUZ

Vera Cruz.-Immense quantities of
arms and ammunition have been seiz-
ed by the American naval authorities
here or have been turned in as a re-
suit Of the order that all arms in
the possession of civilians must be
given up. During the searches by
the provost marshals 900 rifles, 100
r%evolvers, three Colt automatic rifles.
20 machetes and swords and $4,000
rounds of ammunition were seized.
Since the order was issued demand
ing the surrender of firearms the in
habitants have given up 1000 rifles.
1920 revolvers, 1000 machetes and
swords, "A boxes of gunpowder and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition.
There was rejoicing when word was
received from the British minister,
Sir Lionel Garden, in Mexico City,
that General Huerta had agreed to
permit another refugee train t leave
the capital.
Previously the hopes of Americans
here who had relatives and friends in
the capital had been buoyed up by a
statement given out in behalf Of Adj
miral Fletcher that he had informa-
ton which led him to hope for the
early arrival OF more American refu-
gees from Mexico City, for the better
treatment of all Americans there and
possibly for their eventual release
Next in Importance to these de
velopments was the arrival of the
brigade of troops commanded by Gen
eral Frederick Funston.
1t is regarded here as significant
that the restoration Of ~telegraphic
communication between Mexico City
and the resi- of the world followed i'm
mediately after the return to the caF
ital of General Ramon Carona, the
CHEF of staff of Provisional President
Huerta.

Some of these camps are the regu.
lar State National Guard camps.
Officers of the department are now
beginning to consider where they will
locate the Concentration camps"
These are the two or three large
camps near the embarkation points
where both the Regular Army regi-
ments will be massed from the mo-
bilization camps preparatory to send
ing them to the war.
One of these camps will be near
New York City. The other will be
in the South. The one near New
York may be on Staten Island or on
Long Island. The one in the South
may be at Newport News or at Tam
pa, or there may be camps at both
places.
Sites for both the mobilization and
the concentration camps, the officer
said, can be taken by the Government
under the right of eminent domain.
Lieutenant Colonel M. Gray Zalin-
ski, in charge of the quartermaster's
division of the Department of the East,
said he had supplies in store already
to take sc, 1000 men to Mexico.
Lieutenant Colonel William S. Ter
riberry, surgeon general of the State
National Guard, announced that 10, 900
of the National Guardsmen of this
State already had been in~oculated
against typhoid. He denied that any
of the NEGOTIATIONS had had serious
consequences.

THE PRESIDENTS ACCEPTANCE

The reply of the President accepting the offer made through the
Secretary of State to each diplomat was a follows:
The Government of the United States is deeply sensible of the
fnendIiness, the good feeling and the generous concern for the peace
and welfare of Arerca manifested in the joint note jue received
from YOUR ExceIencies rendering the good Offices Of your govern
ments 10 effect if posstbe a settlement of the present difficulty be-
tween the Government of the United States those mi claim
to represent our sister Republic of Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with which the proher is made this
Government does net feel at liberty to decline it. Its wi chief
interest is in the peace of America, the cordial intercourse Of her
republics and their people, and the happiness and prosperity which can
sprinu only out of frank butual understandings and the friendship
which is created by common purpose. The generous offer IT your
governments is therefore accepted.
This Government h pes most earnestly that you may find those
who speak for the several elements Of the Mexican people willing
and ready to discuss terms of satisfactory, and therefore permanent,
settlement
If YOU should find them willing, this Government will be glad to
take up with you for discussion in the frankest and most cOnciiatory
any proposals that may be authorftatiVey formulated, and will
hone thai they may prove feasible and prophetic of a nw day Of
mutual cooperation and confidence in America.
This Government feels bound, in candor, to say that its diplomatic
relations with Mexico being for the present severed, it is not possible
for it to make sure of a uninterrupted opportunity to carry out the
plan of INTERPRETATION which you propose.
II is, of course, possible tia It some act of aggression on the part
of those who control the military forces of Mexico might oblige the
United States t. act 70 the upsettns of the hopes of immediate peace,
but this does not justify US in hesitating to accept your generous sug-
geshon.
We shall hope for the best results within a time brief enough
to relieve our anxiety lest nLconsidered hostile demonstrations should
interrupt negotiations and dissppoint our hopes Of peace.
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-05-01

Washington.-In a joint note to Sec
rotary of State Bryan the Republics
o. Argentina, Brazil and Chill rendered
the offer of their good offices in an
effort to bring about settlement of the
conflict between the United States and
Mexico.
President Wilson accepted the offer.
Spanish Ambassador Riano an
nounced that he had received advices
from Mexico City that General Huerta
had accepted the offer of Argentina,
Brazil and Chill to mediate.
The interests of the Huerta Govern
ment in the United States were taken
over by the Spanish Embassy when
Charge Algara asked for his passports
and left Washington for Canada.
Despite Ambassador Ramos an
nouncement there was a continuance
OF preparations for war in official
Washington.
Anxiety regarding the possible fate
of Americans at the hands of Huerta
i'll Mexico City was greatly relieved
through the good offices of the British
Ambassador, Sir Cecil Arthur Spring
Rice, in communicating with Sir
Lionel Garden, the Acting British
his Charge d'Affaires, Thomas Beau
mont Hohler.
The British representatives, at a
conference with Huerta, corrected the
impression the dictator had that Ad-
miral Badger was preventing Mexi-
cans in Vera Cruz from leaving for the
interior. Huerta had ordered the de.
tention of Americans in Mexico City
by way of reprisal, but on the assur-
ances of Sir Lionel that the United
States authorities we're placing every
possible convenience at the disposal
of Mexicans desiring egress from Vera
Cruz, Huerta announced that equal free
dom and courtesy would be shown
Americans by him.
Martial law was declared in Vera
Cruz by Rear Admiral Fletcher to stop
disorder.
Philip G. Hanna, United States Con-
sui at Monterey, reports to the State
department that he was thrown into
prison at Monterey and kept there two
days until he was rescued by the Con-
stitutionalists when they captured the
city. He says the Consulate was
broken into and the American Flag
floating over it was torn down. The
American Flag was trampled in the
streets by Huerta troops.
Two thousand and six hundred refu-
gees from Vera Cruz, Tampico and
interior points in Mexico arrived at
Galveston. Most of them are in desti-
tute condition and tell of many hard
ships and insults suffered at the hands
Of Mexicans.

WAR TENSION RELIEVED \
BY HUERTAS NOTE
Spanish Ambassador at Washington Receives Message from
Foreign Minister and at Once Advises Intermediates \
MEXICAN FOREIGN OFFICE EXPLANATION

Mexico City.-Commenting on Next
co.'s acceptance of the good. Offices of
Argentina, Chilli and Brazil, Roberto
Esteva Ruiz, Sub-Secretary of Foreign
Relations said:
''The Mexican Chancellerie accepted
this mediation because all its efforts
in the International conflict with the
United States have been directed ex-
clusively to the defence of the nations
honor and dignity, and, in consC-
quence, if the opportunity presents
itself of solving the conflict by peace
full means, the Mexican Chancellerie
considers it the duty Of patriotism to
accept those means on the basis that,
whatever arrangements may be con-
cluded, care will be had that Mexico's
name be honorably placed"
Senior Esteva Ruiz also said:
"Mexico's acceptance is the best an
swer that the government a give
to those persons who c~alumniously
attribute to it the desire of dragging
the country into war, at all costs. The
governments purpose has been to re-
pei offences done to the Mexican Fa-
therland. But as soon as, in accord
ance with treaties signed at The
Hague and with international prac-
tees, the possibility was presented of
defending Mexico's honor through the
friendly mediation of sister nations
the government accepted the spon-
taneous offer of the latter"
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-05-01
ATLANTIC FLEET TO
GO THROUGH CANAL
EFFECT ON SENTIMENT OF
JAPAN NOT LEAST OF
SUSPECTED MOTIVES.

Washington.-In the near future, if
conditions in Mexico will permit, the
United States is going 10 send the en-
tire Atlantic fleet to the Pacific Coast.
On the surface this might look like
a mere excursion, but in well informed
circles there is a strong opinion that
in ordering the cruise to the Pacific
the administration will not be blind
to the effect of such a move on pub
lie sentiment in Japan.
