Key West, are clothed with full powers.

ment or convention.
The Mexican senate in resolution ap-
proving President Huerta's nomination
of the three commissioners conferred
full power and ample authority to
judge. counsel. carry on business and
sign any agreement or treaty whatever"
Many prominent Mexicans here how
ever. are not inclined to regard this
broad authority as real. Others believe
that Huerta has instructed the commits
tions to an amicable adjustment of the
difficulties with the United States, be-
lieveing that failure of the negotiations
might result in pushing American inter-
vention which they feel would not unite
factions. but force Huerta to fight alone.
1t is the general opinion that Huerta
entertains no fears of an advance of the
American forces until after the South
American diplomats have finished their
work
This theory is supported by reports
brought by Americans arriving from
Mexico City. who say that Gen. Mas
is evidently only holding outposts for
observation. and that he is not concen-
tratinE or entrenching his force to re-
sst an advance.

Probable Course of Progressives.

According to present information the
scheme of the progressives will be to hold
their national convention ahead of the
republicans, nominate Col. Roosevelt if
he is willing to accept, and then bring all
the tactics they can employ to framing
things Tor the republican nomination for
him. Their voters will go into republican
primaries and vote for him. and the cry
Will be raised that he is the only man
who can win against the democrats.
There is some genuine fear. too that
the colonel and his cohorts will be able
to put the game across on the republic
cans unless the republican national COM
mittee, headed by Charles d. Hilles. is
able to stop il. The lineup of the re-
publicans will be a strange one too.
Against Col. Roosevelt will be ar
rayed the old-lin followers of the
party and the radicals, headed by La
Toilette, Cummins. Borah, Bristow and
the half dozen other westerners who
will seek to get the nomination from
the conservatives. La Toilette. Cum

publican nomination. too: want it. of
course on platforms suitable to them.

the Rooseveltians. At the same time
they will have to fight to beat off the
