Washington, May 5.-General Car.
rama and the Constitutionalists were
eliminated from proceedings OF the
three South American ENJOYS who
have undertaken to solve the Mexican
problem by mediation.
1t is known also that the United
States, refusing to agree to formal
armistice Or permit any question OF
national honor to go before the con-
ferees, may decline to name medi-
ator
Up to a late hour last night Bryan
had not replied to the mediators as
to the appointment of American dele
gates. The length of the ENJOYS con-
ference with Secretary Bryan led to
the belief that some of the crucial
questions were being approached.
At the same time the military as
pect of the situation became increas-
ingly prominent again. General Funs-
ton reported renewed demands by the
Mexican federal outposts for the sur
render Of the waterworks supplying
Vera Cruz. No shots were fired, and
the Mexicans retreated. General Funs-
ton, after receiving information that
federal troops were moving artillery
down the railroad from the capital
toward Vera Cruz. probably for Gen
eral Gustavo Mas at Soledad, con-
ferred with the officers of the fleet.
1t was arranged to land a number of
field pieces from the warships and
park them where they would be read
lily available.
General Funston voiced the pre-
vailing spirit in military quarters in
inquiring as to what steps the United
States contemplated, in view of the
threatening situation.
Secretary Garrison conferred with
his military chiefs, but said no fur.
ther orders had been given for the
movement of troops, and none are con-
templated during the period of nego-
tiations. The Fourth or Sixth brigade

Word that Huerta was in desperate

doubtful attitude Of the troops here.
tofore loyal to Huerta.
Information also came that the
quarrels between General Blanquet,
minister Of war; and Huerta, might
bring Banquet to the front in the
event of Huerta's fall, much as Huerta
rose on the collapse of the Madero
regime and the Felix Diaz movement.
The South American mediators held
three sessions during the day and
night, announcing through Secretary
Bryan that General Huerta had desig-
mated D. Emilio Rabasa, an eminent
Mexican jurist; Augustin Rodriguez,
and Luis Elguro as his delegates to
confer with the mediators.
In a telegram to General Carranza,
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send per-
sonal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations.

Pensacola. That the Pensacola
navy yard will become the scene OF
more activity than it would If it was
in commission as any ordinary YARD
ply reason of the fact that it is the
headquarters of the aeronautic activi-
ties of the United States navy, is the
statement of those well versed in the
plans of the department.
This Is practically borne out by the
recommendation of the general board
of the navy, of which Admiral Dewey
is chairman, for the immediate expen-
diture Of 100000 on the aviation
branch of the service. Secretary Dan

dirigibles.

CITY CHARTER
Jacksonville Civic League Gathers
Data and Suggestions For New
Municipal Charter

Jacksonville.-Ac committee of three
from the Central Civic committee will
visit each of the civic leagues, clubs
and other organizations of such nature
during the next two or three weeks for
the purpose of persuading them to for
mulate plans and outlines which may
be concentrated in the drafting OF a

consisting of w. H. Pingree, John W..
Lynch and H. H. Simmons, was ap-
pointed at the sessions of the body

Members of the various committees
expressed their opinions Of various
councilmen in terms that were not

part of some of them to ask the vot'

THROUGHOUT THE STATE

acksonville.-When the Duval coun
ty delegation to the state legislature
leaves for the capital city next spring,
members will be expected to work
for a passage of bill permitting the
citizens of the city to vote upon
$4,000 bond issue for municipal
market. The select committee named
some time ago by the council to in
vestigate the sentiment Of the citizens
reported and the resolutions were
adopted.
Jacksonville.-The first snow In
many years was seen in Jacksonville
last week by several hundred people
in the west end of the city. In some
places it was several inches deep.
This is an extremely unusual thing
for Florida, but those who saw 1t
we're not very much surprised, owing
to the cold weather felt here. Those
who saw the cold messengers from the
north pile up little banks, watched 1t
only short while, as 1t slowly be-
gan to melt and run away.
the first 100000 brick roads bonds
voted by the county is still available
for use by the county commissioners,
and $4,000 more will be on hand
when the second issue, now being
signed by Chairman ]. L. Hackney, OF
the commissioners, and Circuit Court
Clerk w. P. Culbreath, are delivered
to their underwriters in New York.
The commissioners have completed
% miles of the brick roads, and con-
tracts have been let for 20 miles more
The plant City road contract will be
or 20 miles more. 1t Is estimated that
roads built from the second bond issue
will cover so miles, the cost Of these
roads being less than the main thor
oughfares already built because Of
the lesser width.

the issuing Of bouds for municipal
