Vera Cruz, May 2s.-An uncon
nrmed rumor is in circulation tha
Gen. Victoriano Huerta has fed from
Mexico City. 5%s :S$ IN t:g Il IN NJ;
The statement. comes from a mar
who occupies a high position In Mex
leo City. The color OF verisimilitude
is given by the fact that the German
cruiser. Dresden and the steamship
:Ipiranga Of the Hamburg-Americar
line steamed from Vera Cruz Tues
day night for Puerto Mexico, the ORES
den following closely behind the 1pir
anga. 1t was believed that the Ger
man government will offer General
Huerta asylum on either the Dresden
or the Ipiranga and protect him.
Vera Cruz, May ;28.-4The3 wife Of
Jose Simon, president Of the National
Bank OF Mexico City, arrived from
Mexico City with report that HUI

John r. Silliman, vice-consul at Sal.

brought vigorous protests from the
state department at Washington, ar

Describing his; trip from Saltillo to
Mexico City, the vice-consul said:
I. y II was kept in confinement by Gen.

vi Mr.. Silliman's attention was drawn
to Joseph "A. Marchani's reported state.
iment that the Mexican federals seized
Mr. Sillirnan's state department code
and accused him of transmitting to
Washington and possibly, to the con-
stitutionalists the dispositions of the
federal garrison Of Saltillo. = @t;s
Ny lips must remain sealed on all
these points, said Mr. Silliman, "un-

1t is learned from other sources that
the code books were not returned
when the consul was released. q
Mrs. Silliman is still In Saltillo $un-

no anxiety regarding her safety. mi
ys3 Niagara Falls, Ont. May, 27.-----Much
progress was made in the mediation
negotiations within the "a hours pre-
ceding Monday and gave substantial
grounds for the belief that an agree
5ment between the American and the
Mexican delegates will be reported by
the end Of this week. 3:$ t3.5t. d.
This agreement will provide not
only for an adjustment Of the quarrel
between the Huerta administration
and the United States, but will contain
a .declaration on the land question and
provide for the organization of 9 pro
visional government for Mexico to sue
coed that Of President Huerta, who
will voluntarily retire from Office. S
The persons to compose the pro
.visional government will be named in
the agreement. sif u ~. +. ..sS II
"a One important development Of this
24-hour period was that notice has
been served on the constitutionalists
by the Washington government that
II they send representative to the
mediation conference he will not be
received. The evident Intention 10 for
the United States and the Mexican
delegates to enter into an agreement
to bring peace to, Mexico and ask the
constitutionalists to conform to it,
conditions. VA: e. rs
& 1t appeared from hints given ont
that the peace conference was trying
to establish q provisional government
in the place Of Huerta's before the
.constitutionalists could capture Mexi-
co City and attempt to set up their
own. III Il ;lS ~ sss
+ The three South Americans made It
plain that while every aspect Of the
Mexican situation, both internal and
international, had been laid before the
delegates from the United States and
Mexico, no formal basis had been
reached for. the treatment in any speci-
fed order OF the issues involved.
1t is the hope. Of the Huerta dele
gates that a new provisional govern
ment will be set up in the Mexican
capital which the United States will
promptly recognize. "A $5.gsj.. "
With new government established
in Mexico City, the Mexican delegates
believe the constitutionalists would be
compelled to accept it. If they re.
fused the constituted government;
duly recognized and able therefore to
get ammunition, would crush revolu-
lions quickly. 5.sy 4, IS X
