the various coalyards, where the owners
themselves loaded their conveyances with
coal to replenish their cellars.

War Payments to Be Forced
for Supplying Federal
Trains.
GRAVE COMPLICATIONS
MAY FOLLOW MOVE
Mexican Fields Owned by Foreign
1nterests-Huerta Regime Be-
lieved Near End.

Warnings that oil companies In Mexico
which have been supplying fuel to gov
ernment trains are to be subjected to re-
prisals and forced to make war payments
to the rebels were contained in dispatches
received from the constitutionalists to-
day. 1t was said that the oil companies
were told several weeks ago that they
would have to stop giving oil to federal
trains or suffer the consequences. These
warnings have been disregarded, II was
declared.
Should the rebels carry out their
threats it is expected that grave compli-
cations may ensue. since most Of the oil
properties in Mexico are owned by for
eigners. The principal oil fields are in the
states of Vera Cruz and San Luis PotosI
and are now being threatened by the reb-
els The constitutionalists claim that
they have a right to destroy the oil
fields when their enemies are getting sup
piles from them.
Word From Rebels.
The rebels sent word that they were
willing to protect the oil properties SO
long as federal troop trains were rot
supplied with oil. Since oil is the prin-
cipal fuel used for railway trains in
Mexico. the destruction of the great oil
wells would have the effect of tying up
communication between different parts OF
the country. at least temporarily.
Conviction in administration circles that
the Huerta regime in Mexico is rapidly
approaching the collapse which has been
persistently predicted has led to much
discussion here of the nature of John
Lind's frequent conferences with Mexi-
can leaders. Belief is freely expressed
that President Wilson's representative Is
surveying the situation with a view to
determining how events will shape them
selves when the Huerta structure topples.
Diplomats Interested.
| Mr.. Lind's latest conferences with Jesus
| Flores Magon and other Mexican states
men have interested members of the
diplomatic corps. who point that In view
of President Wilson's reiterated state
ments that he would not recognize Huerta
nor any of the things he stands for. the
American envoy might very naturally be
| induced to throw out hints as to what
| type OF man would meet with approval
at the White House. They thought that
| Mexicans would in all likelihood EN-
| brace an opportunity to sound Mr.. Lind
informally to the acceptability OF

that there should be no announcement

have been worked out, but it is under
stood that the Colorado senators and

they would not continue opposition to the
pending bills for withdrawal OF radium
bearing lands from entry If they could be
assured that the lands would be devel-
oped and not allowed to stand untouched
for conservation's sake.
Secretary Lane has been urging the
withdrawal Of the radium lands to pre-
vent them from falling into the hands of
private monopoly.
