Meetings Will Be Formal.

To expedite the proceedings the medi-
ators have in the past somewhat dis
pensed with diplomatic formalities, a
course rendered easier by the fact that
throughout the negotiations they have
been in perfect accord. When they
meet with the delegates, however, all
the formalities will have to be observed
and the negotiations will proceed more
slowly.
Popular opinion continues TO veer
from optimism 10 skepticism regarding
the probable success of the mediation,
largely because popular opinion has
had more or less conflicting speculation
on which to base conclusions. Those
whose experience qualities them to

personality of the mediators and their

The mediators are winning respect
steadily. Little by little. IT is believed,
this respect will be shared by the gem
eral public, and by the time they have
completed their labors and formulated
a comprehensive plan for the settle
ment of Mexico's difficulties it will,
there is reason to believe, so far COM
mand popular confidence and approval
as TO make it exceedingly difficult for
any one of the parties TO the contro-
versy 10 reject it.
1t is pointed out by European diplo-
mats that the mediators will enjoy ii
great advantage in the fact that the
settlement they propose will be wholly
and essentially American, and thus en-
tirely free from that suspicion which.
rightly or wrongly, would be almost
certain TO attach 10 any settlement in
the formulation Of which European ma
tions had had a part.

positions. a careful watch Is being
kept on san Francisco bridge, about

During one reconnaissance at
height Of 1900 feet, the aviator thought
the bridge had been destroyed, but an
other flying man later on found that
the structure was intact, although the
rails had been torn up at both ends.
The military situation in Vera Cruz
is unchanged, but rumors from the
country districts of the possibility of
an attempt by adhereris of Zapata to
strike at the American outposts have
