VERA CRUZ. May 30.-The German
steamship Ypiranga returned from
Puerto Mexico this morning and relieved
all doubt in the official mind at Wash
ington about the landing OF arms for
Huerta when Carl Heynen. agent of the
Hamburg american Line at Mexico
city. who was n passenger on the ship.
admitted that her cargo OF arms and
ammunition had been landed at Puerto
Mexico. Mr.. Heynen said he did not
believe the United States could take any
punitive action in the matter.
In order that the affair may reach
the diplomatic stage quickly the steam
ship line has agreed to put up a bond
covering the fine OF $4,000 pesos gold
against the Bavaria for violating the
Vera Cruz port regulations and 400, 900
pesos to cover the case OF the Ypiranga.
The two ships will now receive proper
clearance papers and proceed, the
Ypiranga leaving for Havana tonight
and the BavariI going to Hamburg o
few days later.
Capt. Stickney. Port Captain and Col
lector of the Port. boarded the Ypiranga
to make an investigation. Capt Bonath
acknowledged that his entire cargo had
been landed.

for the line is Brazilian Consul at Mex

ing the engineer OF the deal. said:

Mr.. Heynen said he did not /, lieve
the law had been violated. but he agreed
to put up bond covering a possible fine
of 20 pesos for every package con-
signed to Vera Cruz and landed a
Puerto Mexico. 1t was thought the fine
would be in the neighborhood of $780,
900 and the bond was provided.
Mr.. Heynen referred to the Mexican
law which provides that where a port
il held by rebels or an enemy a cargo
consigned to IL may at the request OF
the consignee be delivered at any Other
port. President Huerta, who was the
consignee in this instance, published 6
decree at Mexico city announcing tha
the port OF Vera Cruz was held by tn,
enemy and warning all shippers to thai
effect. Then he had ordered tn,
Ypiranga to take her cargo to Puerto
Mexico.
Mr.. Heynan denied that the Ham
burg American Line had promised th'
Berlin Government not to land thu
arms. A statement to this effect ha'
been published as coming from Wash
ington.
Capt. Bonath said that before tn
Ypiranga sailed. ostensibly to pick NJ

CARRANzA MOVE LIKELY TO DELAY PEACE
CONFERENCE DECISION FOR TWO WEEKS
NIediators Expected to Submit Plan for Full
Settlement on Tuesday Next, but May

end their conferences next Tuesday, and
were confident that they would be pre-
pared to submit both to President Wilson
and to Gen. Huerta n complete plan for
the settlement of all difficulties
Not only had they expected to be able
to provide for the satisfactory settlement
OF all differences existing between the
United States and Mexico. but they had
also arranged tentative plan for the
early pacihcation Of Mexico through the
installation OF a permanent government
capable of assuming complete control and
of carrying out to the letter all the in
ternal reforms which are needed In the
southern republic.
These reforms include n definite out
line OF what has been deemed essential
by those who are most thoroughly ia
millar with the plans for the solution of
the land question. All these plans have
been upset through the tardy decision OF
Gen. Carranza to become a party to the
mediation proceedings.
II is now generally conceded that the
mere fact that the first CHER OF the
Constitutlonalists has applied for n hear
ing Is sufficient to delay the proceedings
at least two weeks. There appears TO be
no doubt that the mediators themselves
are strongly opposed to accepting Car
ranza's offer

clined to reject this request. inasmuch
as the Constitutlonalist leader declined
their first invitation. refusing to sus-
pend hostilities pending the negoti-
atoms. As mediators, however. prompted

In their unfortunate sister republic
they hardly feel that they can afford &c

suit In an understanding between tn,
leaders OF the two warning factions In
Mexico.
That they will eventually succeed II
accomplishing this aim seems entirely i'm
probable. but the ENJOYS feel neverthe
less that no chance should be disregar,ied

WASHINGTON, May so.-The United
the inconvenience caused to Gen. Huerta
by the delay In transmission OF arms and
ammunition consigned to him on board
Hamburg American liners. Most of these
arms are apparently In the hands Of
Huerta, but the United states Will have
to reckon with the steamship company for
s;oppage OF delivery at the port OF Vera
Cruz. to which they were consigned.
Negotiations are already In progress
between the owners OF the ships and
French and German firms which con-
signed the supplies OF war to Huerta to
determine which of them Is financially
liable to the Mexican dictator for delay
under the contracts for the sale and ship
ment OF war supplies.
The consignors will have 20 account to
Huerta and they in turn will hold the
steamship company liable. The company
will. 1t il believed. look to the United
States rs the responsible party.
The claims for demurrage date from
the actual seizure OF Vera Cruz. The
Yp,ranga, II is understood, received at sea
a request from the American naval COM
mander not to proceed to the Mexican
port at that time. The master OF the
Ypiranga declined to accede. to this re-
quest, but consented 20 proceed at re-
duced speed.
The delay from this cause. together
with that incurred after arriving at Vera
Cruz, where Admiral Fletcher Mt first
refused permission to land the cargo,
amounted to three days. This period
will form the basis for the original claim
for demurrage but there probably will
be other claims.

on the banks Of the Potomac have had a
simple problem to solve compared with
that set by Rucnos Aires or Rio In the
single item of broadening and Straishtcn-
ing streets they were spared millions Of
expenditure necessary in the southern
capitals. The forefathers PROV idcd a
magnificent street plan before there WAS
d city. The owners of the soil donated a
greater area for streets than was re-
served for building lots. As late as
Charles Dickens visit in ISL. the most
notable thing about the capital was its
pretentious plan, characterized by the
great novelist as NIe vast design Of an
aspiring Fren"hman displaying as It's
leading features spacious avenues that
begin IN nothing and lead now nere
