WILL PUNISH
PARKS MURDERERS
Huerta's Foreign Minister
Pledges Bryan-MunitiOns
of War to Be Turned
Back.
United Press Dispatch.

united PreSS D1Spatch.
Washington, D. c., May 49,
Mexico has promised to avenge
the death of Private Parks. The
Brazilian minister today mott
fled the state department that
Huerta's secretary of foreign af-
fairs had promised to punish
Parks murderers if he finds the
American soldier was actually
killed within the Federal lines at
Vera Cruz.
Another cargo of German mu-
nitions consigned to President
Huerta and due at Puerto, Mex
leo today, on the German liner
Bavarian, were. not expected to
be. landed and the lines agents
assured the state department
that the munitions would be re-
turned to Hamburg.
Preparations for the media
ton conferences at Niagara Falls
gre being continued until the A
nlerican commissioners leave.
It is believed that the mediat-
ors are ready to discuss the en-
tire situation Immediately upon
convening Wednesday, and it
will probably be possible to de-
termine almost upon the outset
whether the mediation will sue
coed. If Huerta's commissioners
have absolute power to consider
plans that will eliminate Huerta,
speedy progress can be made and
on the other hand, if they are
compelled to report all sugges-
lions to the dictator, officials
concede that the conference will
be lengthy and result in probably
futile discussion.
Secretary Bryan announced
that he had again presented a
demand for Consul Silliman's re-
lease. The Brazilian minister
wired that he would urge Sill
mans release again, however
adding that interrupted train
service was probably the cause
of delay. Mexico's agreement
to punish Parks murderers is
interpreted to prove that Bry-
ans representations were more
than a request for information,
and it is believed that he de-
lnanded reprisals.

decided upon to eliminate Huer-
Ia, that too will be slow process
recessitating the arrival of
more troops, artillery and loco
motives. 1t is believed there
fore, that all that can be expect
ed in the near future is the occu-
patton and government of Vera
Cruz, with the possible extension
of the American outposts about
the port.

TrestIe ColKapses; Nine Cars
Ditched.

Calico Rock, May 17.-Nine
cars Of q red ball Iron Mountain
freight dropped through tres
tie FIVE miles west of Calico Rock
late Friday night. None of the
crew was hurt. The wreck caus-
ed the suspension of freight traf-
fic over the White River Divis-
ion. Passengers and baggage
are transferred at the scene. A
week will be required to repair
the structure.
Running about Is miles an
hour, the train sped upon the
trestle, which was undergoing
repairs. The weight of the To-
connective started the collapse but
the engine and two cars passed
over safely, although derailed
by the disalignment of the rails
on the safe end of the sinking
structure. The third freight car
went down with the trestle. The
fourth followed. Each car in
dropping added impetus to those
behind and, despite the brakes
set with the first breaking of the
air line, seven more cars rolled
to the brink and dropped into the
ditch.

Vera Cruz, May 18.-With the
occupation of Vera Cruz COM
plete and the town turned over
to Brigadier General Funston,
lone of two alternatives confronts
the American forces here. Eth
Ter Huerta will agree to get out
land the troops will supervise a
constitutional election that win
choose president of Mexico sat-
|isfactory to the administration
lat Washington, or the American
srmy will proceed to Mexico City
and force Huerta out, putting in
his place some man acceptable
to President Wilson.
The elimination of Huerta and
whatever is the real object of
the second taking of Vera Cruz
and whatever happens, this port
will be held indefinitely by the
United States, as the base of
such operations as may be nee
essary to bring the Republic OF
Mexico into a state that can be
approved by the Washington
government. That is why no
part of the navy proceeded to
ITampico when the conquest OF
Vera Cruz was completed, 1t
had been supposed that the u
|nited States intended to block
AIDE all Mexican ports and elm
Innate Huerta by cutting off his
supplies and revenue. But Huer-
| ia is to be eliminated by a much
louicker process. Either he will
agree to get out at once and me-
diate through Argentine, Brazil
land Chill, or troops proceeding
from Vera Cruz will put him out.
Whichever of these two cours-
les becomes an eventuality, the
Irnen of the American forces re-
Ialize they are in for a long stay
In Mexico and are making THEN
preparations accordingly. They
have settled down for certain
