 WASHINGTON. May 9.-The open ing of the Mexican mediation confer ence at Niagara Falls on the Sched- ulcd date. May IS, was assured when word was received of the departure Of thC Mexican delegates from Mexico City today. Preparations for dis patching achievements to Funston at Vera Cruz. should such be neces- ary, progressed steadily Work on the twelve transports to carry troops, horses and supplies. was pushed rap idly, but no war-like developments occurred.
 A threatening cloud disappeared from the horizon when the German steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilia, re- ported carrying arms for Huerta, re- turned to Vera Cruz without disem- barking her war stores at Puerto, Mexico. It is announced the arms on this and also the second German steamer. Bavaria, will be returned to Germany
 Possibility of seizure or of block ade of Puerto, Mexico or of an act perhaps interpretable as violation of the military status quo in favor oi Huerta, is thereby eliminated.
 Huerta. so far as known, has eN- pressed no protest nor dissatisfaction with the reply of the IT. S. to his protest of violation of the armisuce. His delegates are expected to come here about the middle of the week. There is possibility that they may be offered passage on an American war ship from Vera Cruz, communications by merchant ships being considered uncertain. The delegates will oi course have safe conduct through the American lines at Vera Cruz.
 At the navy department the Mon itor Ozark was ordered to Tampico and a warship of light draft capable of entering the Panuco river around which the endangered oil fields are located. in case of necessity. Reports received from Badger on conditions in the oil fields, in the neighborhood oi Tampico. are regarded as conhrma tory. in some degree, of the news thai reached the State Department sev eral days ago Glat American oil men were in danger of losing their prop erty in Mexico because of the sus pension of oil production during the long drawn out siege of Tampico II il can be shown the lessees were ore vented from operating their wells through no fault of their own lt l' certain the department will see tha in the general claim, which will b' made off all the vast number of Amer ican claims against Mexico, these con sessions are fully protected in thel rights.

Twelve transports wer' arranged for and men are worhnl night and day to convert chartered merchantmen at points of embarka tion to accommodate soldiers, horses guns and supplies
