The navy department has options

for any use desired by the govern
ment
Secretary Garrison was at his desk
early and Immediately sent for Chief
of Staff Major General Wotherspoon
and Adjutant General Andrews.
Garrison Remains Silent.
Secretary Garrison refused to dis
cuss the war" conference and would
not state whether additional troops
would be sent to reinforce General
Funston.
Il positively refuse to make any pre-
dictions as to what the war depart
ment is going to do," said the secre-
tary.
Did you consider the advisability
of reinforcing Funston at your mid
night conference" he was asked.
II must decline to answer that ques
tion," answered the secretary.
Several kilograms were received
from General Funston today but the
secretary refused to disclose their i'm
port.

BRYAN ADMITS PROTEST.
Secretary Says Formal Reply to Note
Will Follow.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary
Bryan admitted today that the South
American mediators in the Mexican
situation had made representations to
this government in behalf of General
Huerta, who charges that the Ameri-
can armed forces at Vera Cruz are
violating the armistice. and he de-
clared that formal reply would be
made. The contention of the Mexican
government is that the Americans
should remain entirely inactive at
Vera Cruz pending the armistice which
was established to give the mediators
time to act.
Neither Ambassador Da Cana nor
the ENJOYS or Argentina nor Chile
would discuss the Mexican complaint
Opposes More Troops.
President Huerta's complaint as
transmitted to Secretary of State Bry-
an by the mediators makes emphatic
protest against the dispatch of any
more American troops to vindicate
for the reinforcement Of the military
forces there.
The provisional president of the
Mexican government claims that the
strengthening of the American forces
in Mexico is tantamount to a breach
of the truce existing between the
United States and Mexico.

Preparations have been completed
for the reception Saturday morning at
10 o'clock at the Starr Piano factory,
which is to be given the ladies who
are visiting the city during the T. T.
A. convention. The reception promises
to be of extraordinary interest.
Each member of Post G has been
instructed to invite one lady to make
this trip so there will probably be
many local ladies' in attendance. The
automobile committee has been work
ing hard to take care Of its end of the
work and has been successful In OBJ
tanning sufficient cars to accommodate
all, leaving the Westcott hotel at 9:45
sharp. Immediately upon arrival at
the factory the visitors will be given
special programs and under the escort
of the men from the office force will
be taken through all the most interest
ing parts of the factory.
All along the route special prepara-
tions have been made that the work
may be interesting and instructive and
wherever possible, special demon
strations will be given. 1t will include
an explanation and inspection of the
perforated music roll department,
which will be open to visitors for the
first time on this day. Following the
trip all will return to the administra-
ton building, where a special program
has been prepared. Miss Blanch Lu-
ken, violinist, and Miss Ruth Harris,
soprano, who are among Richmond's s
best musicians will take part in this
program AS a special feature not
ordinarily found on programs Of this

PROTESTS To A. B.. {. ENJOYS
Demands Cessation Of American Arms
and Charges Violation Of ArmistiCe
While He Mobi|izeS Mexican Troops

Huerta further indicated that In the
event of the landing of any more men
in Mexico he will declare the armistice
at an end.
Means Opening Of War.
This would mean the ,re-opening OF
hostilities, probably commencing at
Vera Cruz by the Mexican forces.
The protest from Mexico was dis
cussed at length at the cabinet meet
ing. None of those present would
state what decision, if any. was reach
ed concerning this demand, or what
steps will be taken by the United
States with reference to it
In the opinion of a member Of the
diplomatic corps this action on the
part of Huerta foreshadows the coll
lapse Of the mediation proceedings.
Involves Rebel Activity.
1t is said that Huerta's note also
demanded an immediate cessation of
activities by the Constitutionalists,
who, he asserted. were receiving NUM-
tions of war and other supplies with
the cognizance of the United States
The present plan of the war depart
ment contemplates the landing of a
large number of additional soldiers
at Vera Cruz, while the navy depart
hundred more marines. If Huerta full
fills his threats this will mean war,
and the administration is now facing
the alternative of modifying it's own
military program or taking a step
which almost certainly would lead to
open hostilities.
Charge O'Shaughnessy called at the
white house today during the cabinet
meeting. but was told the president
would receive him Monday. Secretary
of the Navy Daniels denied that any
munitions of war were being allowed
to go into Tampico or any other port
either on the east or west coast OF
Mexico. He admitted. however. that
Admiral Mayo had permitted several
Federal soldiers to be transported
through the Panuco river to Tampico
to reinforce the Federal garrison.
MIR. Daniels denied that two German
vessels were in the roadstead off Tam
pico carrying munitions of war to the
Constitutionalists. He made this state
ment because he said dispatches from
Admiral Badger and Admiral Mayo
today had not indicated this to be a
fact.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Plans have
been made by the war department, it
developed today, to throw an expedi
tionary force into Mexico across the
northern border within ten hours
il the urgency should arise. Major
General Franklin will be placed in
temporary command of this force. 1t

Secretary Garrison said today that
II an expeditionary force were sent
into Mexico it would ultimately be un
der the command Of Major General
Wood. who would direct the activities
of a greater force Of men than com
prised the second division. He point
ed out that even If the second division
were to be ordered into Mexico, MajO'
General Wood would have charge OF
the operation Of these troops.

FILE 1,211 ExEMPT T|0NS

There were more mortgage exemp-
tions filed on Richmond property this
year than on all other property in all
corporations and townships in the
county, and the increase for the en-
tire county was even greater than ex-
pected. The total exemptions filed is
2,1O6, at a total value of a million and
a quarter dollars.
In Richmond alone there were 1,211
mortgage exemptions filed. This =
sixty per cent of all mortgage exemp-
tions filed and an increase over last
year of more than one hundred. In
other corporations outside of Rich
mond there were 1913 exemptions filed,
while in the townships, on farm land,
only 727 were filed.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of money represented by all
the mortgages on which exemptions
were filed, but it is certain that this
would total several million dollars.

Demands Managers Release.
British Consul Hutchinson has de-
manded of General Mas that he re-
lease George II. Coxson. manager of
the Vera Cruz Electric Light and
Power company. Coxson was seized
at Tejeria while he was returning
from Mexico City and Immediately
taken to General Mas headquarters
at Paso del Macho. The first news
of his plight came to Colonel Corn
man of the American forces and he
notified Mr.. Hutchinson.
According TO the reports that have
reached here Coxson was insolent to
the Mexican army officers and they
seized him to avenge their injured
dignity. Colonel Sarrachucha is said
to have expressed his Willingness to
shoot Coxson "for a nickel"
Wants U. S. Police.
La Union, the leading newspaper
here, today protested agains the en-
ployment of Mexican policemen in
Vera Cruz. 1t asserted that many of
those who have been appointed to
service were members of the old force
who were guilty of murder, and rob.
berry in compliance with the mandates
of Huerta." 1t concluded: Please
have the United States continue their
policing"
The newspaper also publishes a call
to all Mexicans to meet at the Olympia
threatre and adopt resolutions de-
manding the resignation of Huerta and
asking the United States to prevent
the dictator's escape.
Rear Admiral Winslow, head Of the
Special service squadron" concluded
an inspection of the city today. He
expressed himself as greatly surprised
at the expedition with which Vera
Cruz had been cleaned up. He found
all the soldiers comfortable and good
health prevailing despite the terrific
heat on shore. Crude oily has been
scattered around all the outposts to
kill mosquitoes and ticks and sanitary
regulations are strictly observed
everywhere.

VERA CRUZ, May s.-Mexican Fed
eral forces confronting General Funs-
tons little army have been increased
to 10000 men during the last twenty
four hours and have established a
strong base at Jalapa, forty-seven
miles from this city. They are under
command of General Rubio Navarette,
who is fortifying the town.
Reports of rapid movements by the
Mexican troops, indicating that they
were advancing their outposts toward
Vera Cruz, caused uneasiness here to-
day. The American outposts to which
access has been unrestricted hitherto
are now barred to Mexicans. Photog-
raphers have been forbidden to ap-
proach the places where the guns are
located. The jungle growth is being
cleared away for the machine guns.
This precaution was taken to pre-
vent any Mexicans creeping up under
cover for a surprise attack and also
to allow room for gun fire in case this
becomes necessary.
Selects War Base.
Rafael Horcasitas, a Spainard who
has just arrived from Mexico City said
today:
"Huerta has selected Jalapa as the
basis against the Americans. General
Navarette has fortified the city and
also Terro Gordo. where the Mexicans
were defeated by the Americans in
1886"
Other refugees declare that Huerta
is assembling the greatest and most
formidable force he has gathered
since the Orozco revolt.
Every outpost was notified today to
be on the lookout for Private Parks,
of the twenty-eighth infantry who dis
appeared while he was riding a horse
belonging to Liutenant Cole Taggart
near the edge of the American lines.
There was considerable anxiety today
lest he had ridden into the Mexican
lines and was being held prisoner.

General Mas inquiring for Parks and

VERA CRUZ, May s-Lieutenant
Ballinger who has taken the leading
aerial scout duty since the Americans
occupied Vera Cruz, had a narrow es-
cape from death or capture while
making a flight with Ensign Stolz
south of the city. A crank pin of
Ballinger's hydro-aeroplane broke, but
repairs were quickly made and the
aviator reported to Brigadier General
Funston today that he is ready to con-
tinue his work.
Lieutenant Ballinger had his ma
chine 5000 feet in the air and was
bucking a high wind while Ensign
Stolz was making a Typographical
chart and searching the countryside
for bands of Federals When the acci-
dent occurred the motive power gave
out and the aviator had to volplane to
the earth. The machine landed in the
bay about 500 feet from shore, but a
boat was nearby and the hydro-aero-
plane was towed ashore.
Among the hundreds of Mexican
refugees who have arrived here from
Mexico City within the last twenty
four hours, many believe that another
week will see the greater part of the
city in flight. Should Emiliano Zapata
or General Francisco Villa make an
attack upon the city the populace,
fearing reign of massacre and pillage
upon the fall of the capital, would
seek the protection of the United
States flag. Under those circum-
stances the United States lines here
would have to be extended as the city
is congested now and there is room
for only a few thousand more fugi-
tives
AS it is now Vera Cruz is the only
city in Mexico where life and property
are both absolutely safe. Realizing
this, well to do families are packing
up to move here with as many of their
portable belongings as they can carry
The problem of furnishing susten-
ance for such a multitude would tax
the ingenuity of the United States
military authorities. Already the
water system is being run at the max
imum Of it's output and the supply is
just barely sufficient to meet the
demands of the city.
