empty, and, judging from the ugly
cash in his head, he had been struck
from behind Unexpectedly. 1t was
CHASTITY wound, and the man had prob
ably died instantly. The blow must
have been q treacherous one, deliv-
cred by some person acquainted with
the cabin; otherwise the dog would
have sprung to his masters defense.
Plainly this was murder, and the as
sassin had taken his time; had closed
the door, locked in the dog; had even
washed of the blade Of the ak, and left
it standing there against the wall.
What could have been the object? Was
it revenge? Robbery? l felt in the

New York.-New York joined the

simple dignity the heroism OF the ~

their lives at Vera Cruz.
AS the most impressive funeral
pageant since the time Of the Spanish
War started on It's solemn route from
the Battery to the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, 1t was as if the pulse of the city
had temporarily stopped.
All business was suspended and over
the commercial section of the city
there fell reverential hush. In the
throngs, which numbered over a mil
lion, East Side and West Side, peace
advocates and war enthusiasts, native
Americans and immigrants = New
York's polyglot population = stood

the dead we're the chiefs of State and
city government, and many more dis
tinguished men of nearly every call

lined the way turned first to the car
riage where President Wilson rode
close behind the last funeral car. The
President came from Washington dur
ing the night and was with the process

until the squad of marines fired its
parting volleys over the flag-draped
collins at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and

There were few pieces of wood piled

Military energy was again de-
voted to making ready for sending
reinforcements to Vera Cruz. In
the absence of any warlike de-
velopments, it was apparent that
efforts are being made to keep
down military excitement so that
nothing will happen to embarrass
the mediators.

soldier who disappeared with two
horses, is said to be within the
Mexican lines. Parks is called

report.
Secretary Bryan announced that
the complication over shipment OF
arms to Huerta had been settled.
Nothing was landed from the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie at Puerto
Mexico.
Three newspaper correspondents
and photographer named Sutton,
of Washington, were arrested in
Mexico City and taken to jail.
They were released after protest.
Washington, D. C.-The opening OF
the Mexican mediation conference at
Niagara Falls on the scheduled date,
May 18, was assured when word was
received of the departure of the Mexi-
can delegates from Mexico City for the
conference.
Preparations are being made for
dispatching reinforcements to General
Funston at Vera Cruz should such a
movement become necessary, work on
II transports to carry troops, horses
and supplies is being pushed, and the
military apparently is being kept well
in leash to avoid embarrassing the
mediation negotiations.
A threatening cloud disappeared
from the diplomatic horizon when
the German steamer Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, reported to be carrying arms
and ammunition for Huerta, returned
to Vera Cruz without debarking her
was stores at Puerto Mexico, and 1t
was announced that the munitions on
this and a second German steamer, the
Bavaria, would be returned to Ger

seizure of Blockade of Puerto Mexico
or of an act perhaps interpretable as .
violation of the military status quo in
favor of Huerta thereby was ell
minated.
With possible hindrances to media
ton from the Puerto Mexico incident,
the delay in the departure of the
Huerta delegates and the protest OF
General Huerta about alleged VIOLA
tions of the armistice understanding
cleared away or in process of disap-
pearance, the South American media
tors, 1t Is understood, see nothing on
the horizon to check the beginning Of
the mediators' formal proceedings
May 18.
Huerta, as far as was known, had
expressed no dissatisfaction with the
reply of the United States to his pro-
test and the actual departure of the
delegates was taken as an earnest Of
his serious intention to proceed with
mediation His delegates are expected
to come to Washington from Key
West or Galveston. They, of course,
will have safe conduct through the
American lines at Vera Cruz.
