have the same rights and powers as are
enjoyed by the American delegates.
Protocol Seems Likely.
There has been no effort, SO far to
weld the essentials of agreement into a
protocol. but the various propositions
stand out distinctly and will readily ad-
init of an anna. gamation into a complete
protocol when it is found necessary to
do So
The understanding here is that these
elementary propositions have been agreed
upon by a process of elimination OF the
issues which il had at first been IMPOSE

Though the tentative protocol. if such

quently omits some of the most dan
gerous factors which must enter into ths
final settlement, it is regarded Dy ad-

Bryan Without Information.
Secretary Bryan said that in the alb
sence of official information that Gen.
Funston was holding the Bavaria lie
could not discuss that phase. and also
declined to say how the United States
regarded the landing of the war cargoes
of the Ham5urg-American line would or

and the Bavaria be turned back, as was
the cargo of the kronprincessin Cecilie.
Secretary Garrison said he had received
no dispatches from Gen. Funston today
and so was without confirmation of the
reported holding of the Bavaria. Mr..
Garrison said his information was that
the Ypiranga carried 5.O00.Wo rounds OF
and some machine guns, and
that the Bavaria carried between 1,o00,JuO
and 100000 rounds of ammunition.
Other Ammunition Turned Back.
The reported delivery of these cargoes
aroused considerable speculation in view
of the fact that arms on board the Ham
burg American ship Kronprinzessin Ce-
ellie consigned to Huerta through Puerto
Mexico several weeks ago were turned
