Washington, May fs.-General Huerta
has authorized the Mexican mediation
delegates to submit his resignation, in
case such course Is found necessary
to settlement In peace negotiations.
This was stated positively in dispatches
today from thoroughly competent dip
lomatic source in Mexico City to one of
the foreign representatives here and con-
firms limitations given by friends of the
delegates here yesterday.
According to this information, Huerta
at first authorized the delegates to dis
cuss only the question of the Tampico
conflict leading to the American occu-
patton of Vera Cruz. Later. it is said, he
came to recognize the necessity of a
broader settlement. and then conveyed
to the delegates assurances that he was
prepared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern to
diplomats in Mexico City now is that of
the form of administration to be estab-
Hshed during the interregnum before a

Mediation Climax Early

The mediation conference is expected
to reach a climax in a short time. The
President does not look for protracteds
negotiations, believing that before many
days definite idea of the concessions
which General Huerta is ready to maket
will be obtained. If the Huerta delegates
are conciIiatory an effort to draw the
constitutionalsts into the agreement un-'
doubtedly Will be made by the American
government as well as by she mediators.
In Constitutionallst quarters the talk
of a compromise arrangement by which
Huerta would retire in favor of neutral
person has not yet made much of an ap-
peal Constitutionalist representatives
say their military campaign is daily
growing more aggressive, and that in an
other month they will have settled the ).
Mexican question by forcibly taking pos
session of Mexico City As to mediation,
they insist that the mediators have I,
never answered Gen, Carranza,s last tel
egram in which he sought to know the
exact purpose of the mediation before ,
sending a representative TO Niagara
Falls The last word from the media
tors to Carranza was that in view of his
refusal to suspend hostlites with Huerta
they must withdraw their invitation for :.
him to participate in the mediation. In
many quarters here ii is believed Car
ranza's inquiry will be answered after 1.
the negotiations proceed to more def
mite stage.
Forced loans upon the principal mer-
chants and well-to-do folks in the Mexi-
can towns and cities which have suffered

or the other during the present rebellion
have been quite common and excited lit :,

exactions have been laid upon native
Mexicans and a few Spanards, the own !,
ers of the principal business concera.
in the towns affected
Now, however, with the occupation OF
an important seaport like Tampico. the
news of an attempt to levy one of these
forced loans under color of voluntary
subscriptions to the Constitutionalists'
cause has brought prompt action by Sec
rotary Bryan to learn the facts. 1t has
been said that the subscription was in
tended only to Mexicans and Spaniards.
But the Spaniards living in the seaport

guns of Spanish man-of-war, one of
which is now cruising off the Mexican
gulf coast, is. situated differently from,

government.
Realizing the possibility of information

ton on the part of the Spanish govern

to avert at this stage, the state depart

leaders that they should not administers

it is believed, will be readily under

Stories of Narrow Escapes OF
U. S. Refugees from the City
OF Manzanillo on West Coast

Choir within 10 feet of the Cetriana.
The Mexican troop ships Hanuel Her
reries and General Pasqueia were OBJ
served to take such positions in the,
stream as almost to block egress by
the British steamer.
On board the American brig Geneva
were four American refugees who had
been picked up at San Bias. These
Lieut.. Minister was trying to get
aboard the Cetriana.
On the 2Sth the cruiser Raleigh was
sighted. From the decks of the Cetri
ana great connection was noted
ashore Mexicans ran down on the
dock, poured more oil on the wharf
and the refugees believed they intend
ed destroying the steamer bfore the
Raleigh could com to the rescue.
Lieut.. Minister by Skilful maneuver-
ing worked his vessel clear of the inn
peding craft surrounding it. ObserV-
ing the departure of the Cetriana,
Captain w. H. Ferguson of the Geneva
assembled his crew and the four ref
ugeos were put into small boats and
places aboard the British vessel. The
Herreries weighed anchor and bore
down on the Cetriana, it was believ-
ed, for the purpose of ramming her.
This ship had on board a number of
convicts who tried TO take advantage
of the excitement to escape. They
jumped into the water near the Get
riana and the steamers passengers
were endangered by the fusillade of
rifle shots fred at the swimmers by
soldiers on the transport.
Before the Herreries could reach
the Cetriana the Raleigh came up and
at once dominated the situation. The

San Francisco, May 1s.-Stories told
today by the 80 refugees, who arriv-
ed here yesterday on the British
steamer Cetriana from the west coast
OF Mexico, supplied additional details
of their escape from Manzanillo. Mex.
But for the timely arrival of the
United States cruiser Raleigh as the
Cetriana was preparing to sail, ref
ugees expressed the belief that the
Mexicans would have destroyed the
steamer and wrecked vengeance on
the Americans aboard.
The Cetriana, commando dby Lieut..
Edward j. Minister British Naval Re-
serve, had taken on at San Bias, April
rs, a party of II Americans from the
inland town of Topic. This party was
being held as prisoners and it was
difficult for Lieut.. Minister to obtain
their release.
The vessel proceeded to Manzanillo,
arriving there April q, and was per-
mitted to tie up at the wharf and take
on board 81 refugees, who had been
under the protection of the German
consul Feeling was running high
against the Americans. News of the
occupation of Vera Cruz by the Unit
ed States had begun to trickle out to
the west coast and it was generally
believed that war had been declared.
Tho day after the Cetriana's arriY-
al. it was discovered that the dock
during the night had been soaked
with oil and mined with dynamite.
Lieut.. Minister promptly armed his
Messengers and kent close watch.

WAGE BATTLE
TO POSSESS 5000
GALLONS LIQUOR

Bangor. Me, May ia legal bat
tie for the possession of over 5000 gall
Ions Of whiskey and a large vuantity
of beer and soft liquor was waged be-
fore Judge Plaisted in the Bangor
municipal court Monday morning,
when the hearing on the libel of the
large seizure of liquor made May
at the Maine Central Railroad yard
in this city was held.
The claimants of the liquor are: A.
G. Perro of Old Town and Joseph G.
Blais Of Berlin, n. II. E. p. Murray,
ESQ, and Charles G.. Hutchings, ESQ.,
represented the claimants
The case was not completed during
the morning, a recess being taken UNI
til o'clock in the afternoon in order
that the county attorney might nave
opportunity to prepare his argument
against the motion for dismissal OF
the case made by the attorneys for
the claimants.
Deputy Sheriff Trask was the first
witness called. He testified to finding
the car in the NJ. C. r. r. yard and
later making the seizure after 1t had
been moved to another track. He OBJ
tanned an after seizure warrant. Dep
uties Davis and Powers assisted In
the search and they testified.
Atty. Murray then made his motion
that the case be dismissed. He con-
tended first that there was a faulty
description in the warrant, inasmuch
as the NJ. c. r. r. yards were de-
scribed as being on the west side of
the Kenduskeag stream. He said that
such a description was not sufficient
on which to hold the liquors, but the
court overruled him on that motion.
He then moved for a dismissal on
the ground that in the warrant the
word "unlawfully'' had been omitted
where keeping and depositing was al
legged. If the liquor was not "unlaw-
fully deposited, he said, then there
was no offense.
He also contended that the officer
had no right to break the seal of the
car in which liquor was contained as
he had no warrant authorizing him
to search.
He also made point of the fact
that the law provides that wherever
the keeper of liquor is known it
should be alleged in a warrant. Mr..
Trask had testified that he did not
know the keeper, but the attorney
claimed that he must have known.
The county attorney asked that he be
given a little time in which to look up
several cases on the issue, and this was
granted, the court continuing the case
until in the afternoon.
There was a large attendance at the
hearing, considerable interest being man
Tested In the disposition of the big
seizure.
James Profta, II Essex street, against
whom there was a search and seizure
charge, was discharged by the court,
claiming that the beer that was taken by
the officers had been in barrel in his
cellar for several months, was not in
tended for Illegal sale, and was not fit
for sale. The evidence of Prof. ]. NJ.
Bartlett of the Experiment Station, U.
of NJ, showed that it contained over 6
per cent. of alcohol.
A similar case against Rcco Leo was
tried but was not argued. The chemist
testified that he found "A per cent. al
cohol In it.
John Smith, Polander. was bound
over in $500 bail, under the charge of
maintaining a common nuisance His
place was raided by the police Sunday.
