TO PUT HUERTA IN DARKNESS.
Is Said to Be the Scheme of Rebels to
Handicap Him.

Vera Cruz. May IS.-That detach-
ment from the constitutionalists, who
have been campaigning along the coast
north of Vera Cruz. may be sent on a
short cut across, though directly, toward
the capital is a move which is regarded
by military men here as not improbable.
But it is not considered likely that the
constitutionaIists viii attempt to worry
the federals now in front of the Ameri-
can lines.
1t is generally believed that the
greater part of the constitutionalist
army under Gen Gonzalez will be sent
forward from Tampico to unite with the
main body of those in the interior in a
campaign against Saltillo and San Luis
Potosi, but that those under Gen. Can
dido Aguilar, who occupied Tuxpan, will
be sent into the interior over a trail
through the mountains and jungle that
would bring them out in the vicinity of
Neoaxa where the electrical energy is
generated for Mexico City and the large
territory surrounding the capital.
Plan Is to Cut Off Light.
This would leave them some distance
from the capital, but would place them
in a position in cooperation with the
smaller organizations already operating
in that district to cut the capital off
from light and power, thus making it ex
tremely awkward and adding materially
to the danger on account of the facilities
which darkness would give the mob
element.
Gen. Aguilar could also be utilized to
advantage in that part of the country to
organize numerous bands of constitu-
tionalists who are as yet operating in
dependently.

NOTHING BUT SITE.
Was Left of Building Which Had Been
Blown Up.

Milford, \. H., May ls.-A large pow
der house at a quarry blew up yester-
day. shaking the whole town. 1t is
thought that the building, wooden one,
caught from brush fire. There were
about 25 large kegs of powder and some
dynamite in the house. Several full
kegs that did not explode were found
from 200 to 500 feet from the building.
When a force OF men arrived the pow
der house had disappeared and they
found a good-sized brush fire on their
hands TO fight. There was a large gram
ite engine house and a wooden black
smith shop within 100 feet. but the wind
took the fire to the opposite direction.
The damage could not be estimated
The concern owns about $50 acres of
valuable quarry and woodland on the
outskirts of the town, which has always
been used by the public for Sunday
walks.

TO PERFECT PLANS OF

Mexican Federal Represen-

the state department, met him at the
train and took him to Niagara Falls by

Naon's early arrival was to complete
the arrangements for the conference
which begins with the Mexican and
American delegates on Wednesday.
Washington, d. c., May lS.--While
the stage is being set at Niagara Falls
to-day, the next big scene OF the Mexi-
can crisis, the diplomatic and admins
tration officials eagerly discussed the
extent to which the mediation .prelimi
naries might reach Members of the
Mexican federal mission were in New
York to-day. The Huerta delegates
firmly declined while here to give out
any statement of their program, butt
were reported as feeling that the federal
administration was disintegrating and
that it was inevitable that a successor
TO Huerta shall be chosen. The great
problem in that event is what guaran-
tees could be obtained against possible
property coniscation by invading CON
stitutionalists, safeguards against an
archy and the kind OF government that
would stand and attract world reeogni
tion.
The entire Mexican party, including
the three delegates, Seniors Rabasa. Rod
riguez and Elguero, with their wives,
daughters and a large suite, left Wash
ington at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon

main until Tuesday before proceeding to

the three delegates drove to the home OF
Secretary Bryan and made a call of
ceremony by leaving their cards. Mr..
Bryan soon afterwards returned the call
by leaving his cards for the delegates at
their hotel. There was no meeting be-
tween the secretary of state and the
Mexicans.

City. as the principal route is over the
Mexican Central railroad.

that General Navarette, the federal com
mander, was in the vicinity of Vera
