Huerta Says U. S. Activities at Vera
Cruz Breaks Armistice.
Secretary Bryan admitted his goverr-
ment had received a note from the
South American mediators, now seek
ing to solve the Mexican crisis, In
which complaint is made by the Huer.
ia government that American opera.
tions at Vera Cruz are in violation Of
the armistice.
Asked as to the details of the en-.
voys' note, Mr.. Bryan said:
at simply sets forth what General
Huerta says. A reply to the note will
be made"
In the Huerta message, he stated,
the question was raised as to the send.
ing of the army to take the place OF
naval forces at Vera Cruz.
The reply of the United States, he
said, would be that this government
had taken no aggressive steps and
that nothing had been done in vio'
lation of the suspension of hostilities.
This is the first indication of the
possibility of Provisional Presldea:
Huerta withdrawing from the media
lion proceedings before the sessions
tan open at Niagara Falls, Canada, or
May IS. Such action was looked fn1
by some observers because CT the fE::
ure of the "a. B. c." powers to induce
General Carranza to enter into tha

FUNSTON EXTENDS LINES
Prepares to EepeI Mexican Attack on
Vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz.
Brigadier General Funston, in Su
preme command on land, has begun t.
extend the American lines at Vera
Cruz and to throw up heavy fortifica
tions.
General Funston has received a free
hand to do virtually whatever he may
consider necessary to insure the safe
ty of the American position from at
tack and to meet any attack by the
Mexican forces reported to be masslne
at Soledad and Jalapa under Generals
Mas and Navarett.
That the MeXicans concentrating
about twenty miles west of Vera Cruz
have trained artillery upon the Vera
Cruz pumping station at Ell Tejara and
are guarding railroad tracks leading to
Mexico City, evidently in expectation
of a forward march by the American
soldiers, was indicated in message
from General Funston to the war de-
partment.
General Funston reported that, un'
der the authority given him by Secre'
tary of War Garrison, he had advanc'
ed his outposts about mile beyond
the pumping station, had thrown up
breastworks of hand bags and taken
other precautionary measures.
Three batteries Of heavy field artll
lery of i've guns each have been land
ed from the United States warships
1t is pointed out that an artillery at
tack directed from Jalapa to destroy
the water works at El Tejara is the
most favorable plan open to the Mexl
cans, and General Funston is prepar
ing to repel any such attempt.
In addition to the field guns landed
from the war vessels twenty-foul
pieces of marine artillery have beer
placed In position for defense.
The latest information received con
firms early reports of the destruction
Of tie San Francisco bridge and also
of one smaller bridge nearer to Vera
Cruz. The abutments were dynamited
and the structure let into the water
One of the bridges was destroyed by
Mexican irregulars.

Baer Leaves Estate to Family.

The estate of George F. Baer, former
president of the Philadelphia & Read
ing railway, is left, with the exception
of a few minor bequests, to his widow,
his five daughters and his grandchll-
dren, according to the will which was
filed in Reading, Pa.
There were no public bequests OF
any kind, as had been expected by
many persons who knew Mr.. Baer
we'll.
Mrs. Baer received 100000 and the
personal property Of her husband, In
cluding carriages, motor cars and the
use of Hawthorne" the Baer sum-
mer residence in Reading. Each grand
child received $4,000.
The five daughters of MIR. Baer re-
ceive the remainder of the estate in
equal portions. These daughters are:
Mrs. William Griscom Coke, OF Will
mington, Del; Mrs. William N. Appel,
of Lancaster, and Mrs. Heber L.
Smith, Mrs. Isaac Hester and Mrs.
Emily Connard, of Reading.
Each OF the household employees
receives $50 year for each year over
five in which they have served the
Baer family.
The absence of public belEests is
accounted for by friends by the fact
that Mr. Baer had been most generous
in his life. He gave $4,000 to Frank
lin and Marshall college, Lancaster,
his alma mater, few years ago;
100000 to the Reading Y. M. c. A.;
$4,000 to the Reading hospital and
$4,000 to the Reading armory site.
The estate has been estimated vari
ously from s5,OOO,OOO to $15,OOO,0OO.
One of his chief assets is the plant OF
the Reading Paper mills, worth about
s50O,000 the Baer building, sky
scraper, and a $4,000 farm.

According to news dispatches from
Mexico City, Esteva Ruiz, Huertas
acting minister of foreign relations,
complained to the mediators that
American troops were landing in Vera
Cruz and that other military prepara
tions were in progress there, breaking
the armistice. In reply the South
American mediators have wired, it is
announced in Mexico City, that they
would make representations on the
subject to President Wilson.
Huerta further indicated that in the
event of the landing of any more men
in Mexico he would declare the armis.
tice at an end. This would mean thE
reopening of hostilities, probably with
an attack upon Vera Cruz by the Next
can forces.
