Huerte desires protection from this gov
eminent he will be given Il. Then
Huerta shall eliminate himself as fac
tor in Mexican affairs, his goings and
comings will be of no concern 10 this
government But it is realized that the
Constitutionalist leaders are extremely
bitter against the dictator and for
some time there has been a report that
a price has been placed upon his head.
Therefore. the United States will be
ready to grant him asylum should he
ask il.
Carranza's reply TO the mediators,
will 90 forward to Niagara Falls to-
night. according TO official announce
men from the junta this afternoon. Il
was being put in final form this af-
ternoon. That It would provide a
way whereby Carranza will have a
part in the mediation was the con-
fident prediction Of a high authority
Of the junta here.
81 cannot disclose the contents OF
the note" he said. You will have
to guess a little about that"
The inference was, however, that
Carranza had not receded from his
original position, at least not to an
appreciable extent Junta members
were inclined TO believe that the medi
ators are I'm a more receptive mood
than heretofore. and that Carranza's
reply will smooth the way to final
satisfactory adjustment.

ablaze. A bank of earth was erected
surrounding the tank. This had
scarcely been completed when the
burning oil overlooked the tank and
spread over the field surrounding
the tank.
The tank when struck contained 50.-
600 barrels Of crude petroleum, of
which considerable was drawn off be-
fore the flames had spread over the
entire tank. The oil in the tank and
on the surrounding fields burned
brightly all night and will continue
to burn for a day or two until the oil
in the tank is consumed. The loss is
estimated at 100000 The fire could
be seen plainly from parts Of VIII

for travellers on the Wilson Line.
The storm extended throughout the

Mexican situation this afternoon that
he admitted that he expects Caranza

him at Niagara Falls and that they will
Ice admitted by the mediators on Car
ranza's own terms.
"All that ] care TO say Is that the
situation is very hopeful" was Bryan's
reply after he left a conference with
President Wilson az which John Lind,
former personal representative in Mex
leo had been present. Lind carried two
bulky volumes with him to the con
ference. which he left with the Presi-
dent. lnasmuch as Lind has been in al
most constant touch with the Carranz-
ista iunta here, Il is believed that these
documents had a direct bearing on the
situation now being discussed at Ma
CARA Falls.
Secretary Bryan insisted that no
orders have been issued bearing upon
the munition cargo OF the steamer
Antilla. II is not expected that there
will be any interference with this
steamer when she reaches Tampico
tomorrow Ofcials take the position
that the Antilla is no longer a source
OF daoger in Mexican affairs, beliey-
ing that so soon as Carranza is actu-
ally included in the mediation pro-
gram, an almost immediate settle

brief time to Mexico. Secretary Gar

FRANKED Envelopes FOR
The RETURNS OF BANKS

Wilmington's national banks have
received from the Office of Comp
troller Of the Currency John SHELTON
Williams Thanked" envelopes for use
in sending TO the department the
daily reports of their transactions.
This work has been going on for a
week, the banks having commenced
the task last Monday. Heretofore they
have been paying the postage them
selves.
Some banks have made the oalcula-
ton that the postage on the reports
would aggregate about $4,000 This is
assuming that it was required of all
the $500 banks in the national sys-
tenn for the full period OF 30 days and
that each of them paid . cents.
IL is thought that a complaint of
this additional expense may have
been made, which indicates how the
banks, look upon small matters in
the daily routine of their work.

States had been searching for him.
As mysterious as the disappear

wounded Dillon to Delaware Hospi-

not until yesterday that the details
of the affair became known to the

statement from the wounded man.
Although this was necessary that ar

The story Of the affair. told bv
Mrs. lepf, is that Zepf pushed open
the door of his wife's cottage at
Pennsgrove, saw Dillon talking with
his wife and ordered him from the
house. Dillon showed no inclination
to leave. Then Zepf drew his re-
volver and fired Her story tallies

He added that he had gone to Penns-

MILITIA OFFICERS HIT BY
STORM after HOT DAY

An electrical storm swept with
violence through the instruction camp
of the officers Of the Organized Mill
tia of Delaware on the rifle range
below New Castle last evening. The
storm ragged for nearly an hour over
the camp, the rain covering the
ground TO a depth of over an inch,
and in some of the tents it flowed
across the floor
Following a day under a 50 degree
sun, the wind blowing at a rate Of
40 miles an hour threatened to level
the canvas, but all the tents re-
manned standing. The camp site
quickly became dry after the storm,
owing to the excellent drainage, and
the officers suffered no serious in
convenience as a result of the storm.
1t was Just a touch of the outdoor
military life, with tropic heat during
the day and storm for variety.
This morning at o'clock there
was instruction under Lieutenant
Elvid Hunt. L. S. A., in the details
Of the sabre manual, signals and
commands. At o'clock there was
instructions and field demonstrations
in patrols and exercises in prepara-
ton of patrol messages. This after

cises in elements of advance aud
conduct of infantry firing line. This

HUERTA CONTEMPLATES
Peace negotiations
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD,

ChAttu IItb5 CldM Correspondent.
VERA CRUZ, June 9.-Dictator
Huerta, his minister OF war, General
Banquet, and the remnants of his
cabinet are considering the advisable
ity Of coming to Vera Cruz to COM
plete mediation negotiations. Infor-
nation from a source such as to
make it authentic is that the plan
now under consideration is for Blan-
quet first to come here, in company
with the Brazilian minister, for a
conference with Brigadier General
Funston regarding the nature of
Huertas reception and whether he
would be welcomed within the Ameri-
can lines.
It is known that the Brazilian min
lister in Mexico City has been or will
be requested by the dictator to sound
Washington regarding his entrance
of the American lines.
From a Mexican who has been in
complete touch with the highest Off
Gals in Mexico City, I learn that
Huerta has become convinced that il
is unsafe for his family to remain
longer in the capital, but that he can
not devise a way to get them out OF
the city. He has been informed that
the rebels under Doctor Commacho
are well aware Of his desire to leave
the ruin of his government and that
they have made preparations to wreck
trains on either railroad out of the
capital. Huerta fears treachery on
the part Of some Of the few whom he
would have to trust if he decided to
give the rebels a chance to assassin
ate him.
Premature rumors were heard all
last night in army circles that Blan-
quet had actually arrived at the
American army's outposts around
Vera Cruz and was awaiting permits
sion to enter. The rumors could moi
be verified from the American side.
