UNIQUE CONFERENCE CALLED.
European Powers and United States
to Discuss Spitzbergeu,

A unique international conference will
convene at Christina, Norway, June 16.
Norway has invited most Of the powers
Of Europe and the United States to dis
cuss questions in relation to the archi-
pelago Of Spitzbergen.
The islands Of that archipelago are
spoken Of as norman STAND" they be-
ing subject to the dominion Of no nation.
The United States has an interest in the
islands, because some years ago Ameri-
can investors started coal mining opera
tons there and have invested considera-
BILE money in the enterprise.
The conference probably will undertake
to frame a neutral government for the
archipelago. No interested European ma
ton seems disposed to allow another gov
eminent to extend its dominion over the
islands.
The United States will be represented at
the conference by William M. Collier.
formerly American minister at Madrid,
the American minister at Christiania, and
Fred K. Nielsen, assistant solicitor for
the Department Of State.

REBEL LEADER AWAITS
REPLY FROM MEDIATORS
Decision as to His Status in Niagara
Falls Conference Ex-
pected Soon.

Acting under the decision of the ad-
ministration to embargo shipments Of
arms to Mexico, the Department of Com
merce is refusing to issue clearance pa
pers to any Mexican port to any ships
bearing munitions of war. Government
agents have learned however, that ships
are clearing from the United States for
ports not In Mexico and there reconsign-
ing their cargoes. 1t was said the
United States has no control over such
practice.
Brig. Gen. Funston reported to the
War Department today that the agents
of the German ships Ypiranga and Ba-
varia had given bonds for the fines as
sessed against them, in order that they
might be cleared from Vera Cruz. Con-
corning the fines, which totaled more
than 100000 pesos, Secretary Garrison
today issued this statement:
Fined Under Mexican Law.
The customs and port officials fined
the Hamburg liner Bavaria
1865 pesos for having discharged a
large portion Of her cargo, consigned to
Vera Cruz, at another port before ar
irving at the port Of Vera Cruz. and for
correcting her manifest after arrival in
the port Of Vera Cruz.
IA similar fine has been imposed upon
the Ypiranga. amounting to 1874, $50
pesos. for failure to discharge her cargo
where consigned, failure to correct in
voices accordingly. and discharging her
cargo at a port other than that to which
consigned.
Gen. Funston states that the officials
in question had no option. under the Mex
lean law. and had to assess the fines
in the sums named. No appeal has been
taken on behalf of the vessels, and the
presumption is that If any further pro-
ceedings are to be held, representations
will be made to our State Department
The agents Of the Hamburg-American
line have arranged for bonds, in order
that the ships may SAIL"
Headed Counter Revolution.
Brig. Gen. Bliss in a report to the

Of the arrest of Quevado and his fol-
lowers at Ell Paso yesterday. 1t is under
stood that Quevado was heading a

will be sent to Fort Wingate, New Mex
leo. where the other refugees are. Que
vado was a member Of the federal army
which surrendered at Preside, Tex. but

pressed surprise that the conference was

In some quarters belief was expressed
that nothing would be heard from the
