WORK STARTS MAY |
Old Buildings Still Standing; No.
tees Given For Immediate
Removal

While no contract has been given
out for the construction of the new
Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge
across the Susquehanna river. it was
announced to-day that work would
positively start May 1.
With the beginning of this impor-
tant work only fourteen days away,
there is considerable to be done In
getting rid of the old buildings in
Mulberry street. Only six out of nine
teen properties recently sold have been
torn down. Officials of the real es-
tate department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad found 1t necessary to give
further notice to purchasers that the
agreement was to have all buildings
down within thirty days.
Three of the remaining properties
are still occupied, but the occupants
will be out this week. 1t was stated
to-day that only thirty-five men are
working on the old buildings, and in
order to have the old structures out
of the way in time additional forces
must be put on.

Diplomacy Fails to Settle Mexican
Trouble; War to Finish Apparent

dent of the railroad; Engineer
Elliott, conductors Riley and Hart.
Edward Weunch, his son, Sidney:
A. NJ. Thomas and Mr.. Boyd, an
Englishman.
The belief that the Federals in
tended to execute at least four Of
the prisoners was gained from the
conversation of soldiers who captur-
ed them, overheard by passengers on
the train. The prisoners were taken
to Cordoba and, it is believed, later
were transferred to Orizaba.
Eighteen Americans still are in
TERRA Blanca, among them j. o.
Cook, chief engineer of the Isthmus
Railway. An indirect report receiv
ed here to-day from Mexico City said
mob attempted to burn the termi-
nal of the Mexican Railway, but was
prevented by President Huerta's
troops.
The Mexicans are confiscating all
locomotives and rolling stock of the
Mexican Railway and concentrating
them at Apizaco, an hours run
south of the capital. All engineers
of that line have been held and sent
to Orizaba.

Huerta to Mediate?

Washington, April 26.-Spanish
ambassador Riano announced late
tonight that he had received private
advices from Mexico City stating
that Gen. Huerta has accepted the
offer of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
to use their good Offices to bring
about an amicable settlement of the
difficulty between the United States
and Mexico.
This information, though unotfl-
cial, was accepted as authentic by the
ambassador, who expects to be pre-
pared to place Gen. Huerta's formal
acceptance before the representa-
tives of the three South American
countries tomorrow.
The interests of the Huerta gov
ernment in the United States were
taken over by the Spanish embassy
when Charge Algara left Washing
ton. Ambassador Riano received an
offer of the good offices of the three
peace ENJOYS last night, after the Of
fer had been accepted by President
Wilson. 1t was cabled Immediately

to the Spanish minister at Mexico
City and by him presented to Presi-
dent Huerta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand, the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intima-
ton of the nature of which has yet
been given. 1t generally has been
understood here, however, that the
peace envoys expect to deal directly
with the situation created by the
Tampico incident and other offences
against the honor and dignity of the
United States, hoping to bring about
peaceful settlement.
Administration officials appeared
to be much gratified at the prospect
of having the proposals of the great
South American republics listened
to by Gen. Huerta. Until the ma
ture of the plan is known no officer
of the administration will make any
comment.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.
AMERICAN ARMY MAY GO To
MEXICO CITY.
Reported that Zapata Will Join
Huerta in Fighting Against
American Forces.

Galveston, April 26.-Three bat
teries of mountain guns of the 4th
field artillery sailed for Vera Cruz
to-day on the chartered steamer
Satillo. Accompanying the guns
we're S25 men, II officers and %
animals. This was the second Sec
ton of Brig. Gen. Funston's forces
to get under way for Vera Cruz. The
first section, comprising about 81
400 infantrymen, is due there some
time tomorrow. The artillery will
arrive about the middle of the week.
The cavalry will follow in a few
days. The Santillo was conveyed to-
day by two torpedo boats.
The battleship Connecticut and
torpedo boat convoy Dixie came into
port to-day, bringing American re-
fugees from Tampico and near by
districts.
There may be five or six Amerl-
cans still in Tampico, but they
would not leave" said Capt. John
K. Napp, of the Connecticut. There
are $50 refugees on the Connecticut
and $40 on the Dixie. On the steam
ship Esperanza, that arrived from
Tampico last night, there were BIT
Americans who had fed from Mexl-
co. There are about 2,100 Ameri-
can refugees held here in quarantine
on ships, but their release is expect
ed either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Government for Vera Cruz.

j Vera Cruz, April 24.-Five divis-
ions of the civil administration were
organized to-day-police, sanitary,
harbor, finance and customs. An ef-
fort was made to put Mexicans at
the head of all departments, but as
this was impossible, at least in two
departments, American officers were
assigned to the posts. They are
Lieut.. Commander McNeely, of the
battleship Louisiana, who was ap-
pointed chief of police, and the fleet
paymaster, who was made collector
of customs. An effort still is being
made to get Mexicans to act as head
of the other departments, but If this
is impossible Americans will be plac-
ed in charge of all. An American will
be made inspector over each depart
ment headed by a Mexican.
Police provisions call for contin-
uance of the patrol of Americans,
although Mexicans have been invited
to cooperate in the organization of
native force. The customs re-
ceipts, it is said, may be placed to
the credit of the United States.
Close scrunity will be maintained
over all newspapers and other publ
cations, and no editorial comment
concerning the American occupation
or news regarding the movement OF
troops will be permitted.
The commandant of the San Juan
do Uloa fortress in the inner harbor,
dressed in full uniform, called on
Rear Admiral Fletcher to-day and
was granted permission to take sup

Vera Cruz Under Martial Law.

Vera Cruz, April 26.-Vera Cruz
tonight is under martial law. Rear
Admiral F. F. Fletcher, command
ing the American naval forces on
shore, to-day issued a proclamation
to this effect, and the last opportuni-
ty Mexicans had for handling their
own affairs in Vera Cruz under their
own laws disappeared.
Admiral Fletcher and his staff de-
termined there should be no more
quibbling with the Mexican officials
regarding form of government and
until further notice residents of this
port will live and be judged by mill
tary law. The word has gone forth
that disorder and unruliness in any
form shall receive swift and severe
punishment.
This proclamation makes Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher absolute ruler ashore.
1t is believed martial law will open
the way for more of the city and
Federal employees to return and CO.
operate in restoring the local gov
ernment functions. Mexicans point
ont that these men now will be in a
position to explain to their friends
and the existing government at the
CAPITAL that under martial law they
felt obliged to return to their work.
