FORTY ARRESTS MADE

London, May 21.-Suffragettes and
sufragette sympathizers to the num-
ber Of several thousand had hot en-
counter today with force of about
1000 policemen while marching on
Buckingham palace, King George 3
London residence.
The affair was preceded by an an
nouncemcnt from Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst of her intention to visit Bucking-
ham and demand an interview with the
king. Her supporters promptly de-
clartd they would accompany her to the
palace entrance to give her moral sup
port. They mobilized in Whitehall,
formed procession and started.
In the meantime force of police
about 1000 strong had been rushed to
the royal park gates at the top of Con-
stitution Ilill. A hundred more patrol
led the inside Of the park.
When the procession reached the
gate it was stopped. Then flying
wedge of the women tried to break
through the police lines. A struggle
ensued in which about forty arrests
were made, including several men, and
finally the storming party was driven
back.
A few moments later another rush
was made in an effort to rescue the
prisoners. This engagement was live
lier than the first one and for time
it looked as if the police would be
overpowered. AT length, however, they
succeeded in dispensing the demonstra-
tors and getting their prisoners to

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent )
U. S. S. California, May 20.-(By
wireless to San Diego, May 21.)-Gen-
cral Obregon, the Mexican rebel leader
on the west coast, is preparing today
to cut the railroad that connects Man
zanillo and Mexico City to prevent
possible shipments Of arms and ammu-
milton to Huerta. His plan then is
to concentrate his troops around Man
zatlan and assail that port.
With Vera Cruz occupied by the Am
orleans and Tampicc captured by the
corstitutionalists, Huerta has been un-
able to import arms and ammunition
from the east and his attention is said
to have been tuned toward some of
his Pacific ports.
ManZanillo Only Resource.
The railroad running from Sahna
Cruz, on the west, to the interior mas
been interrupted and M2Zatlan has been
surrounded by the rebels. That leaves
his Manzanillo as mis- only resource.
If the rebels succeed in cutting off that
avenue of traffic, it is thought the
Netator VIII be IN an embarrassing
Situation, not only as regards the i'm
portation of war munitions, but in a
way to escape from his country should
lis flight be decided upon.
1t has been rumored many times that
he expected to get ammunition from
Japan to west coast points.
The rebel aeroplane which has been
used at Mazatlan was wrecked aeci
dentally yesterday.

Length of Negotiations May Be Pro-
longed Indefinitely or May Be
Terminated Suddenly.
By Fred s. Ferguson.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 21.-All
preliminary formalites having been
disposed Of, the "a. b. c." mediators
between the United States and Mexico
were ready for actual business today.
Justice Lamar and Frederick Lehman,
the American ENJOYS. had long con-
ference with the mediators last night.
All parties concerned were reticent
relative to the nature of their dis
cussion.
President Wilson kept in close touch
with the mediation conference by tele-
phone.
Visitors See Sights.
With the Mexicans, the mediators
had their first talk between 11:30 and
would have another interview with tho
Americans tonight and second one
with the Mexicans tomorrow. BY
these alternate intercnanges of views
they hoped ultimately to reach mu-
tually satisfactory agreement, While
the mediators debated at the Mexican
ENJOYS rooms, Romulo Naon, the Ar
gentine minister's 1l.yearold son,
played in the Clifton hotel corridors.
The two daughters OF Senior Rabasa,
who were also in Niagara Falls, amused
themselves by walking about the town,
seeing the sights AMI visiting the falls
with other Mexicans who were with
the ENJOYS party.
1t was impossible to guess how long
1 the negotiations would continue. They
might drag along indefinitely, it was
said, or they might come to sudden
Termination.
