and was met in the harbor by the
Essex, which brought the coffins
ashore. The coffins were draped in
black and white and carried one by
one to the long shed which had been
prepared for their reception. At the

pie back until the coffins had been
placed in the shed.
The shed where the most pitiful

children.
The figures of the deaths and res

41S rescued and 969 still missing or
drowned. Prompt investigation is
promised on all sides and a royal
commission has been made to start a
searching inquiry.

More information concerning the at

fore deciding the subject of constitu-
tionalist representation here. This
may be obtained from the Washington
government.
The mediators are preparing reply
to the message brought by Urquid
The statement from Durango did not
alter the opinion of the mediators to-
wards the constitutionalists The dip
lomats claim that from the outset
they have planned to give the consti-
tutionalists as great a share in the
new government as is proportionate
with their strength. AS to the mill
tary side, the concentration of federal
forces at San Luis Potosi, where the
Huerta forces are confident OF check
ing the constitutionalist advance, is
in line with the general belief here
that the capture of the City of Mex

Upon the development of the next
two days depend the trend OF the
peace program. Should the constitu-
tionalistS remain obdurate and refuse
to meet the terms fixed by the medi-
ators, the negotiation here will not be
disrupted on that account. for the
