II SAYS He DID NOT
EJECT Commerce Officials From

GAVE THEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY
TO EXAMINE RECORDS

renee, VINO nave Deen mere lOr
some time in an endeavor to Sc
cure this correspondence, said
this morning that they called
repeatedly upon FIRST Vice Pres.
iqsnt Mapother, and that he re-
fused each time to hand over for
their use in the investigation all
correspondence III the executive
Offices, which they demanded.
They were instructed to demand
any aud all correspondence, with
out any restriction as to date,
nature or how for back this cor.
dependence extended.
| fThe last time upon which they
called upon Mr.. Mapother, he
had them elected from his office,
they said.
Mr.. Mapother when told of the
election claimed by the examin.
ers to have occurred, said that
the statement that the examin-
erf were elected from the office
was incorrect. Ga the contrary,
lie said that a separate room was
assigned for their use; that they
hare eight or more In number and
lthat every reasonable facility
lhad been afforded them for the
prosecution of their work, at
which they have now been en-
gagged for about five weeks.
He said that they have con-
stantly gone in and out of all the

on the right to take exclusive
possession of all correspondence
files IN the executive offics, ref
eardless of their contents, and

actions became intolerable and

servant opened the door they made
a rush and gained admission to the
sitting room before they could be
stopped. When they found the prince
absent they threw quantity of PAM

did not do any damage.
They departed quickly, but with a
warning to the servant that the prince
might expect visit from them di-
rectly he returned to Oxford.

Washington, May 1.-That the ad-
ministration has small hopes Of per-
manent peace in Mexico is indicated
by request today in the House, in
a joint resolution introduced by Hay
with the presidents approval, that
the army appropriations, exceeding
$1O0,000,000, be made available inn
mediately. 1t is expected similar
rider will be added to the naval bill.
It is reported today that Huerta has
expressed belated willingness to sa-
lutte the American flag unconditional
ly if the American forces are with
drawn from Vera Cruz, but was told
matters had gone too far and he. must
eliminate himself.
The mediators are awaiting Carran-
za's final reply to a request for an
armistice, which he has refused. The
mediators conferred all night.
1t is reported with much detail that
the administration has urged Villa to
strike at once at Saltillo and Tampico,
taking them, if possible, before me-
diation can interfere with the cam
paign. Such victory, it is said,
would have the moral effect of aid
ing the rebels greatly by giving them
a seaport and placing them in po-
sition to ask to have their belligerency
recognized.
Government officials refused to dis
cuss this report, but were at pains
to emphasize the friendliness between
the administration and the constitu-
tionalists.
The mediators have the assurances
of both capitals that an armistice will
be agreed to.
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz report
ed that there are many more Ameri-
cans in Mexico City than is gener-
ally supposed. He estimated the num-
ber at 1,1OO and said efforts were
being made to transport them to the
coast. He added, however, that the
capital is quiet.
Refugees taken from O'Shaughnes-
sy's train en- route to the coast and
forced to return to the capital are
safe, it is stated.
