Washington, May 5.-General Car
rama and the Constitutionalists were
eliminated from proceedings Of the
three South American ENJOYS who
have undertaken to solve the Mexican
problem by mediation.
1t is known also that the United
States, refusing to agree to formal
armistice Or permit any question OF
national honor to go before the con-
ferees, may decline to name, medi-
ator.
Up to late hour last night Bryan
had not replied to the mediators as
to the appointment of American dele
gates. The length of the envoys' con-
ference with Secretary Bryan led to
the belief that some of the crucial
questions were being approached.
At the same time the military as
pect of the situation became increas.
ingly prominent again. General Funs-
ton reported renewed demands by the
Mexican federal outposts for the sur.
render Of the waterworks supplying
Vera Cruz. No shots were fired, and
the Mexicans retreated. General Funs-
ton, after receiving information that
federal troops were moving artillery
down the railroad from the capital
toward Vera Cruz, probably for Gen
eral Gustayo Mas at Soledad, con-
ferred with the officers of the fleet
1t was arranged to land number of
field pieces from the warships and
park them where they would be read.

General Funston voiced the pre-
vailing spirit in military quarters In
inquiring as to what steps the United
States contemplated, in view of the
threatening situation
Secretary Garrison conferred with
his military chiefs. but said no fur
ther orders had been given for the
movement of troops, and none are con.
templated during the period OF nego

minister Of war, and Huerta, might
bring Blanquet to the front in the
event of Huerta's fall, much as Huerta
rose on the collapse of the Madero
regime and the Felix Diaz movement
The South American mediators held
three sessions during the day and
night, announcing through Secretary
Bryan that General Huerta had desig
mated d. Emilio Rabasa. an eminent
Mexican iurist; Augustin Rodriguez
and Luis Elguro as his delegates to
confer with the mediators.
In telegram to General Carranza,
the mediators announced thar In view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send per.

Washington, May Ain providing
for future goyernmen action In the
Colorado labor situation. President
Wilson has under advisement the
problem OF what to do as regards re-
opening the coal mines. His deliber-
ations thus far include a plan of re-
fusing the operators to resume work
until there Is industrial as we'll as
civic peace. 1t can be asserted with
fair degree Of precision that there
will be no operation of the mines un.
til they can be run without guns.
Whether that means compromise
somewhere along the lines OF the
present contending factions or whetAa
er one faction is to acknowledge
itself defeated is question with
which the President is not concerned.
He proposes that the government will
Sid neither unions nor operators. but
will maintain peace.
Whether this means closed coal
mines all over the state developments
will tell. 1t is reliably reported that
Secretary Garrison has orders to keep
the mines closed If they are to breed
trouble.
II is recalled that Roosevelt during
the strike Of 1904 threatened to put
United States military forces to min
ing coal in Pennsylvania to supply
people II the operators could not man
age to peaceably mine sufficient for
their needs.
The disarming proclamation of the
secretary Of war, 1t was explained at
the War Department. means exactly
what 1t says, namely, that only mill
tary forces Of the United States can
carry or maintain guns. This, as a
matter of course, would include the
state militia were 1t not for the fact
that the government has requested
that body to be withdrawn as fast as
the federals take the field.
Secretary Garrison received volumi-
nous telegraphic reports from cavalry
commanders in various military dis.
tricts In Colorado. The secretary
reads these dispatches and gives re-
turn orders in person. There is no
second in command.
Congressman Heating spent some
time with Secretary Garrison Satur-
day interpreting maps and giving him
general information as to the geogra-
ply and topography Of the districts
where trouble has occurred.

The HOMESTEADERS
4. ARE COMING

In the State of Nevada there are
55,138,5 93 acres Of land, good, bad
or Indifferent, which is open to
homestead entry. Of this amount
2 9,359,141 acres are surveyed and
25,799,452 are unsurveyed. Much
Of this land lies in Humboldt coun-
t.. No county in the state is max
ing such rapid progress in settle
ment and 1914 will be the great
est year in Nevada's history for
homesteaders.
Some time ago the law allowing
only 160 acres to be homesteadsd
was revised so that under certain
conditions hnmesteaders might take
up an extra quarter section, or 800
acres in all. But since then condi-
tions have arisen which the gov
eminent did not forsee and there is
row about to be presented to Con-
gress a bill which will permit the
granting of 640-acre stock-raising
homesteads. The idea of this mea
sure is that in many localities
there is land which is not
adapted for farming purposes
but upon which cattle-raising
could be carried on with profit.
But while that is true the govern
ment fully recognizes that a man
can't raise many cattle onya 16O-
acre farm and so it is proposed
to give him more room and allow
him to take $40 acres in districts
where farming alone would not
pay but where cattle might easily
be raised. The draft of this mea-
sure has been made by the de-
partment of the interior and sent
to the various United States land
Offices with requests for sugges-
tions as to the ACCESSIBILITY of such
an act. 1t ie believed such an act
will be passed.
The requirements of the $40
acres stock raising entry are that
permanent improvements Of $l.25
an acre must be made before a
patent will be issued and one-half
Of this must be made within three
years time.
Every homestead taken up is sub,
ject to certain restrictions and has
some strings tied to it. If a man
takes up a homestead the govern.
ment retains title to all minerals
even after the homesteader has OBJ
tanned full patent. Then, again
the government reserves the right
to come along and build bitches
and canals through these lands
which have been homesteaded. But
ii such bitches are constructed it
is probable that the homesteader
will be recompensed.
The government has in pamphlet
for free distribution the homestead
laws and the mining and mineral
laws. These may be obtained free
at the Elko land office.
Township plats Of all unappro-
pfiated lands may also be obtained
at the Elko land office on ap. lea
ton. These plats cost 81 each and
the fee must accompany the appli-
cation for the plat. In making ap-
plication the applicant must specify
the township and range Of the land
he wants q plat Of.
The land embraced within the
Jurisdiction Of the Elko land office
r those Of the following sudnties:
Churchill, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt,
Lander. Lincoln, Nye and White
Pine. The official boundaries Of
the Elko land districts are: Alta
