CONFERENCE, MAY Is
MEXICAN MEDIATION STARTS IN.
EARNEST AT NIAGARA FALLS
SIDE IN CANADA.
MEXICAN DELEGATES ON THEIR WAY
Preparations for Sending More Troops
to Vera Cruz Are Going on-Gen.
Funston Fears Attack-ProbabIe
Peace ENJOYS.

Washington.-Th opening of the
Mexican mediation conference at Nj
agara Falls on the scheduled date, May
IS, is now assured. Word has been
received of the departure of the Next
can delegates from Mexico City for
the conference.
Preparations for dispatching reen-
forcements to Gen. Funston at Vera
Cruz, should such a movement become
necessary, is going forward steadily
work on IL transports to carry troops
horses and supplies being pushed, but
no warlike development occurred, and
the military apparently is being kept
well in leash to avoid embarrassing
the mediation negotiations.
War Cloud Dispeled.
A Threatening cloud disappeared
from the diplomatic horizon when the
German steamer Kronzprinzessin Ceci
lie, reported to be carrying arms ant
ammunition for Huerta, returned t
Vera Cruz without debarking her wal
stores at Puerto Mexico, and it was
said that the munitions on this and {
second German steamer the Bavaria
would be returned to Germany. Tit
possibility either of a seizure or block
ade of Puerto Mexico or of an ac
perhaps interpretable as a violation o
the military status quo in favor o
! Huerta, thereby was eliminated.
No announcement had been mad
Sunday regarding the American dele
gates to the conference, but Justic
Lamar of the United States Suprem
court and Frederick W. Lehman o
ST. Louis, former solicitor general
have been mentioned as two of tn
possible delegates.

LONG AffIIcted BIZ ouakes.

For centuries this region has suf-
fered from earthquakes, owing to the
activity of Mount Etna. Yet it is rela-
lively thickly populated, as the land
is most fertile, vineyards growing with
little 1 'tention.
Wher> Linera stood is a mass of
ruins. Those houses which did not col
lapse entirely were so broken as to
emphasize the completeness of the
disaster. The village consisted of
about 500 inhabitants. A majority OF
the people escaped because the shock
occurred when the men and some OF
the women were still working in the
fields.
This accounts for the fact that most
of the victims at Linera were women
and children.
