MEXICAN DELEGATES
 ANNOUNCE HUERTA IS
 WILLING TO RESIGN
TEXT OF STATEMENT BY ENVOYS SAYING HUERTA WILL RESIGN

Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 2.-The complete statement given out by the Mex ican mediation delegates regarding Hu- erta's willingness to resign follows
 Tn accordance with the instructions which the Mexican delegation has had since the beginning of the peace negotia- tions, it's members deciared at the first full conference: that Is to say. In the presence of the mediating plenipoten- tiaries and of the delegates of the United States of America. tsiat President Hu- erta's personality is not an obstacle to tho reaching of a satisfactory conclu- sion.
 General Huerta is prepared to with that at the time of hia withdrawal Mex leo shall be politically pacified and the government succeeding his shall be such as to count on the acauiescence of the governed and on the support of public opinion, which constitute the real bases for peace and stability in any country.
 Tt has been and is President Huerta' s wish to place on record that neither mis- taken pride nor personal interest will prevent his withdrawal .once the above named conditions are satisfied.
 Frank and Open Spirit
 The Mexican government accepted the mediation of the South American powers in a frank and open spirit and the Mexican delegation has been guided and will be guided in all sts acts by perfect good faith.
 Tt should be unnecessary to say that President Huerta gave the Mexican dele gation special instructions not to con- sent to anything which could hurt the sovereignty of the Mexican nation and to refuse hearing in the deliberations of the conference to anything which might be construed as an imposition from the outside. For their own part the delegates would not have accepted instructions of different nature on these points; but they beg to state that hitherto they have had no occasion to refer to them, thanks to the exquisite tact of the mediation plenipotentiaries and to the circumspec- ton of the American delegates.
 'To treat of the interior pacihcation of Mexico in the course of deliberations on difficulties of an international character cannot be considered as submitting the sovereignty of the nation to an external influence; said pacification is necessarily bound up with the international questions. This has been appreciated by the Mex ican delegation and 1T, setting forth the intentions Of its government in the mat ter and in it's endeavors to bring about the pacification it has been inspired by the knowledge that without it no satis- factory conclusion can be arrived at in the international question:"

Washington. June 2.-Several hundred clerks and officials fled in fright from their offices in the department of agri- culture today when Daniel V. Jauch, a watchman. scurried through the corridors shouting that the building was about to be destroyed by dynamite.
 Led by Jauch, several of the cooler headed department officials ran to the basement where they found four sticks of dynamite on which the fuses had been burned out Apparently an explosion had been averted because the fuses had been damned so tightly into the detonation caps that the fire was extinguished Then came hurried sequel.
 Jauch, who had suffered severe injuries to his head while serving as a soldier in the Philippines several years ago. was taken to a police station and subjected

Duell said today that, while he had received positive assurance from Colonel Roosevelt that he would support move ment to "clean up New York, he did not mean to say that the colonel had commit ted himself definitely to Whitman. He thought 1t possible that the situation might so shape itself that another than Mir whitman would befput at the head of the ticket which it is proposed to name at a nonpartisan mass meeting in Syra- cuse next month.

 The dynamite had been placed directly beneath the office Of Secretary Houston.

Montreal, June 2.-The collier Storstad, which rammed the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrence last Friday, causing the loss of more than 900 lives, completed unloading her cargo of coal today. and it was possible to make a thorough inspection of her bow, shattered by the collision. Her stem vas twisted so much to starboard that 1t al. most formed a half circle. Some of the lcwermost plates in her bow also were twisted to starboard and torn away. There is large indentation on either sideto of the stem and rivets are torn clear.

Italy and Turkey.

The reports that Turkey, and per.
haps Italy, would get into the war were
set at rest, temporarily, at least, by
official statements from both govern
ments.
The Italian Premier gave out this
official statement: The Italian gov
ernment is firmly determined to main
tain the strictest neutrality, this cor
responding to the feeling of the people,
although deep-rooted sympathies are
felt for England"
That Turkey has not declared war
against any country and that she will
further insist on her neutrality was
the construction placed upon cable
gram from Constantinople to the
Turkish Ambassador.
1t was reported that a German gun
boat and a merchantmen were sunk
by mines in the North Sea.
A dispatch from Ostend says it is
announced there that the Germans are
bombarding Termonde (Dendermonde)

east of Ghent. The town has a popu-
lation of about 10000.

pened in the western field in the last
few days. To bring into battle any
thing like 10000 men means that the
French forces must have been concen.
trated between Rheims and Veriun at
the expense of the French left. which,
according to the first reports this
week, had suffered so heavily and had
allowed the Germans to get so near
the Paris forts.
A dispatch from Rouen intimated
that the Paris authorities contem-
plated surrendering the city to the
Germans to prevent damage by bom-
bardment in the event that the invad-
ers succeeded in passing or capturing
the outer ring of the Paris forts. No
credence is placed in this report. A
message from Bordeaux, the provision
al capital, quoted War Minister Miller
and as scoffing at such an idea and
declaring that the Germans could

Amiens, about 70 miles to the north

Germans after three days of fierce
fighting, according to dispatch from

Terrific onsIaughts.
Another report says the French left

nearer to Paris, but that the Allies
center has held ground in the face of
terrific onslaughts, and that their line
was unbroken at any point The
French left extended from Montdidier

Paris the Pivot.
Whether Paris is besieged or not it
surely will become the center of
pivotal operations that are planned to
follow any further retreat of the Allies

The huge Krupp siege guns, which
proved so disastrous to Namur, are be-
ing moved south, and it is evident that
the Germans were making prepara-
tions for siege.
A dispatch from the Russian EN-
bassy at Rome said that in the con-
fiict around Lemberg, in Austrian
Galicia, the Austrians lost 100000 men
killed, wounded and prisoners, to-
gether with 81 cannon. A previous re-
port placed the Austrian losses at 49,

gagged.
