Trinidad, Colo, May 2.-The United
States cavalrymen sent to restore or
der in the southern Colorado coal
fields have encountered opposition FOL
lowing the announcement OF Maj. W.
A. Holbrook, commanding, that he
would demand that mine guards re-
main on the mine properties and that
the strikers stay away from these
properties.
The strikers declared they were con-
sidering a refusal to disarm. Hol-
brooks announcement is construed by
them as meaning that he would ask
the miners to surrender their weapons
while allowing the guards to retain
theirs so long as they stay on mining
property. Inasmuch as the strikers
contend that the attitude OF the
guards and their possession of wea-
mons while the strikers had more
caused the trouble in Colorado, they
threaten to ignore the order.
Disarmament is Discussed.
A meeting was held at San Rafael
strikers camp, near here, 10 discuss
| whether the men shall surrender their
arms. If necessary, it is said, a pro
| test will be made to Washington
against disarming one side without
disarming the other.
Peace reigned over the southern
Colorado coal district, as the regular
troops went at their work of pacifica
ton. At Walsenburg Capt. c. c. Smith
and Go men of troop G, Second United
States cavalry, was in charge. Smitf
held a long conference with Donalc
NacGregor and other strike leaders
hut no decision regarding disarmint
miners was reached.
U. S. Troops Impartial.
The impartiality of Uncle Sans sol
diers was strikingly displayed at Wal
senburg when Capt. Smith ARRESTED
six Colorado milit amen against whon
complaint had been lodged by a sa
loon keeper, whose place had beel
robbed of whisky, cigars and persona
effects.
Everywhere in the strike zone Their
is friendly feeling between the strii
ers and regular soldiers. Maj, no
brook sent a troop of cavalry to 81
sundo. and other regulars will be sea-
; tered throughout the zone.
J The militiamen will be withdraw
J from this district at once. All tn
guardsmen at Walsenburg entraine
l and will either be relieved from dut
a or sent to northern Colorado.

The boy heard the explosion in No.

the dust in No. might explode any

PLANS TO BE
PREPARED
Arbitration Negotiations Are
Likely to Fall Through
At Any Time.
HUERTA WOULD SALUTE
Secretary of State Says Huerta's
Agreement to Armistice is
Now Unnecessary.
,wNI- News Service. !


Washington, May 2.-That Presi-
dent Wilson intends to be ready If per-
manent peace with Mexico should not
result from the present mediation ne
eotiations was indicated by the re-
quest that the appropriations in the
army bill, totaling upward OF
500, 100000 be made available imme-
diately The bill, now in the hands OF
the president, carries appropriations
available after June l.
A Joint resolution has been intro
duced by Representative Hay, chair
man of the house military affairs COM
mittee, making the money available
Immediately. This resolution has the
approval of President Wilson.
This action is in line with all of the
precautions that are being taken by
this government. Nothing is to be left
undone TO have the armed forces In a
state of complete preparedness II the
mediators finally report they cannot
bring about an agreement.
Huerta Would Salute Now.
1t is admitted that if the only ques-
t!ons in dispute were those between
the United States and Huerta at the
time the big battleship fleet was or
dered south a speedy settlement could
be reached. Huerta has made 1t PLAIN
In unofficial negotiations with repre-
sentatives of the ENJOYS that he Is
willing to salute the flag uncondition-
ally if the United States forces are
withdrawn from Vera Cruz. He has
been told, however, that things have
gone too far and Secretary Bryan says
he deserves no credit for granting an
armistice, as he is about at the end oil
his resources and the continued rebel
successes would soon relieve him oil
all responsibility anyway.
With the declaration OF this truce
between Huerta and the United states
government, interest centered II
whether Carranza, the rebel CHIEF
would resolve himself into the Key
stone of a diplomatic arch designed
to bridge the whole problem OF tn
pacification of Mexico and its interna
tional complications.
Hope to Settle Whole Problem.
The ENJOYS have not abandoned tn
idea of settling the entire Mexical
problem. Huerta's attitude on tn
question of an armistice between hi
government and the northern rebel
also was a factor to be considered
However, it was generally believe
that upon the stand Carranza took o
the truce proposition would hinge tn
question OF whether the ENJOYS woul
be able to go into the broad field

STEAMER SIBER-
IAIS REPORTED
TO Be SINKING
Pacific Mail Liner Off Coast
of FOrmosa Calls for
Rush Assistance.
5OOPASSENCERS ON BOARD
Dispatch Intimates Chinese Pr
rates Had to Do With the
Liners Disaster.

Toxic, May 2.-Wireless calls for
assistance from the Pacific Mail
steamer Siberia, heard on the Japa-
nese coast, indicate that she is in
grave peril off the coast of Formosa.
The liner left San Francisco April
for Manila. She carries Il salon
passengers, including Mrs. Francis
Burton Harrison, wife OF the governor
general of the Philippines, and Mrs. J.
Il. Bentiers, wife of the new British
consul at Manila.
4 dispatch from Formosa hints that
Chinese pirates may have had some
thing to do with the disaster.
The exact nature of the accident has
not yet been determined, nor have any
details been received here up to
late hour.
Reports OF Trouble Differ.
An early wireless report said the
| liner was sinking" while II later mes.
| sage conveyed the information that
she was ashore" six miles off the
southeast mainland of Formosa Is
! land.
The Japanese government dis
| patched the steamer kanto Maru from
| Formosa to the succor of the Siberia
! as soon as the news Of her trouble
! was received,
The Siberia left Yokohama April u
and NagasaM April %, for Manila. She
had passenger list of II persons IN
the first cabin, about 80 In the second
and 400 in the stcerage. She Is in
command of Capt Feeder and carries
Il crew of about 200 men.
The report was current in Toxic that
Chinese pirates had been connected
with the accident to the liner. This
fear was held at Tai-Pa-Fu, the CAPT
tai OF Formosa, whence 1t was con
yeycd in Cablegram.
Wireless Calls Cease.
The gravest anxiety prevails, owing
TO the fact that the wireless for help
from the Siberia have ceased. a. a.
Williamson, the American consul at
Tamsui, Formosa, telegraphs he fears
his means that the vessel has gone
/ down.
, When the first wireless calls for
help we're heard, the nearest ship was
;. six hours away.
Q The Japanese navy department II
, inclined to disCredit the reports re
, garding pirates and expressed the
g opinion that they were an outcome o.
!. the recent looting of a British steam
ship.
D The first wireless message regard
o ing the disaster was received from th'
r Sib, liza at the Japanese wireless sta
t ton at Osezakai, off the coast of kiu
7. shin Island. It conveyed the informa
ton that the steamer had met with al
accident and was in distress. Thi
message was mutilated and no furthe
definite information could be CLEANED
from it.
