GENERAL vELASCo

Will Never Again Lead Column of
 Troops Against Rebels.

vera cruz, May 4-The OutDreak of another military revolt in Mex ico. headed by General oJse Refueio Velasco. who was recently driven out of Torreon bya Franciscos Villa, would not cause any surprise in the federal capital according to conservative ob- servers among. the refugees who ar rived here today. -s-s .--
 General .velasco- is: said to be griev- ously discontented concerning the fail ure, of the government in Mexico City to support him properly in the defense of Tofreon. and he Is declared to have stated that he would never again lead column of troops against the rebels. f The fall of Tcrreon and the subse- Quent disaster to the federal troops are asserted by, General Velasco to have been entirely due to the failure of the war department to heed his ap- peal for small-arm ammunition at a time when. he says. it was, perfectly feasible for 1t to have reached him
 It asserted that there is much plot ting among the federal army officers, many of whom are declared to be dis satisfied with General Huerta and his conduct of military saffafrs.
 F General Javier de Mnure and Gem .erals Gas1os fGaroia ssFzfdAlgo;r who were sent to the. relief sof.Generaf Velasco at Tosyeon are reported toshave been found by General Nelasco hirinF sun- $ der Kreixhf cars during the heavy fighting at4san Pedko de Los Coionias. after the fail of Torfson. and to have been upbrzided by him. for their cow afdfce Anothef 6kl1cef who reported that his statidh had boon captured was shot dead by General velasco when he learned that the position had been abandoned without sufYlsaent cause.

 Another offlcer who wAs charged with oowardtce in the fAce of the enemy committed suicide while Gen. efal yelasco was rebuldng him.
 In spite of hib other dincuitfes, Gen. ernl Velascos declared he could have won the battle at Torreon If the war department had not failed to keep him supplied with ammunition. . Of the 5000 troops with which he started out, General Vefasco succeeded in reaching Saltillo with 400 meb. Many had deserted, but his casualties had been very great. Altogether. he says he withstood eighty-three attacks by the rebels.

that he was in the continuation with Huerta and Felix Diaz which disposed of the Madero government. The other Huerta delegate, 9Senor Garza, is young lawyer, secretary to the vice president under Porforio Diaz. The mediators will continue in com plete charge of the plans of settle ment and will not take the delegation from the different parties into any general council with them. The dele gates will be merely advisors, while 1 the three South American envoys will constitute the international tribunal trying to work out the problems. | Secretary Bryan expressed satIsfac- the mediation proceedings. He went to the White House for conference with President Wilson, during which the status of mediation and the Mexico situation generally was gone over. The only word from CaTranza dur ing the day was an inquiry as to just what powers the delegates whom the mediators had asked Carranza to name would have. He desired to know that they should not be extended to deal inEs between Huerta and Carranza which, according to the constitutional ist leaders position, are entirely out side the scope of the mediators' work.
 During the day it was announced that President Wilson planned to go to Brooklyn on Monday and meet the Montana, which is bringing back the bodies of the American marines killed at Vera Cruz and deliver an address. Should public business require the continued presence of President Will son at Washington. Secretary Daniels will speak in the name of the presi- dent.
 There have been some amusing fea- lures to Hghten the serious aspects of the mediat1on proceedings. The mediatorsshaye been receiving a great number of letters approving their course and. offering advice One letter urged that Theodore Roosevelt was the man to set up provisional gov ernment in Mexico, backed by North, South and Central Americas and that the Spanish republics should induce him etp undertake provisional direction of affairs at Mexico City. 6 Another contrfbutiorfs has been in the form Of Mexican sot1breros of vast dimensions for the mediators.
 The donor attached a card saying that the sombreros were to the Illus trtous 1nediators" from the friends of Villa.

NAME IS NOT KNOWN
AbTaxs from Stem to stsrn-etsea,sr ssydIitx Went to Her Assistanos- Liners Within WirsIsss Warrins.

Halifax. N. s.. May I.-An unknown steamer. on fire from stem to stern, ana with no signs of fife on board. wes discovered 300 miles eouth of Cope Race today by the steamer Seydlifz, from Bremen for New York. Her po- sition was given as latitude 41.27 norfk and. longitude 51.67 west.
 The Seydlitz immediately cailod by came from the Franconia. 50 miles to the eastward. bound for Boston, and to the Olympic, 200 miles to the west, headed for New York. e . The Seydlitz circied around rtha burning vessel. but the smoke hung 70 heavy about her that her name could not be distinguished.
 The weather on the Grand Banks to- day was moderate and it was thought that any transshfpment could havs been accomplished with no great amount of difficulty or danger. So far as learned tonight no steamer | equipped with wireless reported her self in distress. although part of westbound liner late last night stated
 that she was having boiler and engine trouble and was making slow proeress into New York.
 The position as given by the ssyd- litz placed the burning steamer slight ly nearer to Cape Race than to Sable Island. but the radio station at Sable
 Island was the first to pick up the mes
 sage.
 | The wireless message from the Seyd- Htz reporting the discovery of the burning vessel was picked up late this afternoon No further word from the Seydlitz had been received this even
 ing. and continued attempts Of the
 wireless stations to communicats with | her failed. s | The static conditions were bad, but it was believed that during the night
 particulars would be received from t.fe
 6eydlitz, the Franconia or the olym- pic.
