 The effect of this was astonishing. He stared at us both. and, finding cor roboration in Miss Lees face. his own took on an instant expression of relief. He dropped to the side of the bed. and his color came slowly back. He even smlled-a crafty grin that was mex pressibly horrible.

Of the approaching departure for Eu-

Trinidad, Colo, May 26.--An at
tempted assault upon United States
soldier and the firing upon patrol of
troops under Captain Cushman at Sc
gundo last night are being investigat-
ed today by the federal authorities.
More than 20 shots were fired upon
patrol men from hillside overlooking
the camp after trooper who had
lodged missile thrown at him
Through the window of the scale house
answered shot fired at him from the
darkness.
The patrol starting out to searcn
for the person throwing the brick and
firing the shot was surprised by a
fusilade of shots coming from the di-
rection of the hills. Captain Cuchman
reported this morning that man was
seen to run from concealment in a
ditch, but made his getaway.
Colonel Lockett would make no
comment relative to the shooting ex-
cept to say that the bullets probably
came from some adventurous per
sons"
Colonel Lockett announced this
morning he was considering the an
nouncement made by William Dia-

conduct the strike, and that he had
reached no decision as to whether or

UNLIKE OTHER OFFICIALS LEAv
ING MEXICO HE KEEPS HIS
MOUTH SHUT

Vera Cruz, May &C.. John r. Sill
man, American vice-consul at Saltillo,
arrived here today from Mexico City.
He declined to discuss his experiences
during his Imprisonment until after
he had made his official report to
Washington.
Mr.. Silliman intimated that the tales
of facing firing squad and of other
indignities he was reported to have
suffered were much ovedrawn He
said he felt it was MS duty to report
fully at Washington before making
public a detailed account Of his arrest
and his release through the activity of
the British vice consul at Saltillo.
The trip to Mexico City from Sal

was preceded by troop train which
was fired on repeatedly, and was de-

AN AGREEMENT IS HOPED FOR
LAND MATTERS AND ESTABLISH
MENT OF NEW GOVERNMENT
UNDER DISCUSSION

Niagara Falls, Ontario, May 20
The wind has suddenly veered once
more. When all seemed going well
and everyone was optimistic and the
Mexican delegates, believing they had
reached an accord with the Americans,
we're about to issue formal state
ment explanatory of their position on
the land question and regretting that
it was clearly impossible for them to
give guarantees as to the action of a
new and sovereign and recognized
government, there came a sudden halt.
The Mexican delegates had their
stenographic work finished, their hec-
tograph ready to print the document
and then they stopped They said
they had concluded to issue no pro-
nunciamento. 1t would be indiscreet,
they said. Then, when everyone,
amazed at this sudden step, was spe-
culating on the reason for it and the
air was filled with rumors, probable
and absurdly improbable, the Ameri-
can delegates dashed up in their au-
tomobiles There was a hurried
mounting of the staircase to the room
of the mediators, the door of the mys-
tie chamber was slammed and = pro

was entered on. ar
1t was obvious that there must be
some more definite assurance re-
specting the land question to meet
the declared purpose of President Will
son. Precisely how it was to be
worked out or how it could be worked
out was not altogether clear, but little
doubt was felt by those participating
that it would be worked out.
After the conference between the
mediators and the American delegates
Justice Lamara dictated the following
statement:
ssWe have begun to discuss the
terms and details of plan of pacifi-
cation. On a number of them we find
ourselves m substantial agreement.
Others are still under discussion and
as to them there has been no dis
agreement. We have an appointment

zAPATA DENIES
He IS A BANDIT
REBEL GENERAL REQUESTS He
BE CONSIDERED IN SETTLING
MEXICAN AFFAIRS

Washington, May 26.--An agent of
General Emiliano Zapata and the junta
in charge of the zapata movement in
central and southern Mexico is here,
and at the suggestion OF Secretary
Bryan has laid before President Will
son and the state depaTtfnent infor-
nation intended to cottrovert state
ments that Zapta is merely a bandit
and his followers a horde of freeboot-
ers. The agent submitted to Mr.. Bryan
a statement of the ideals, program
and plan of campaign of Zapata and
his followers. the strength of his
forces and the extent of territory over
which he claims control, and asked
that In any settlement of the Mexican
problem full consideration be given to
the zapatistas as leading element
in the Mexican revolution.
IS The Zapatistas base their preten-
siohsp on an assertion that they repre-.
sent the revolutionary movement in
the most thickly settled portion OF
Mexico, containing rs per cent OF all
the population. The agent informed
Secretary Bryan that zapata has ar
army Of about $4,000. The emissary
assured Mr.. Bryan that zapata and
his followers would observe all the
rules Of civilized warfare.
Discussing the relations OF zapats
to Carranza, the agent, in the memo
randa presented. said that the two
elements. while not united. have the
same ends and purposes and are
working in concert.
