President Expects
 Mediation will Bring
 Peace for Mexico

Washington, May 12-Menbers of the cabinet, after a prolonged confer ence with President Wilson today on the Mexican situation, declared the President maintained confidence that mediation would succeed and that fur ther serious consequences in Mexico would be averted.
 Most of the discussion in the cabi- net meeting. itw as said, related to mediation and the views to be pre- sented on behalf of this government by Justice Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman when the South American envoys seek views of the United States and Huerta's representatives, at the Niagara Falls conference.
 LoBOs ISLAND INCIDENT.
 The Isobos island incident was taken up by Secretary Daniels today. He had before him tl1is report from Rear Admiral Mayo at Tanpico:
 tLoboa Island has not been eccu- pied. The Dixie and some destroys ers' anchored thefG and other vessels have coaIed there frohm d collier. The keeper of Lobos Island Light desert ed it and the Dixie is now maintain ing it for the benefit of nayigation- IT understand that the destroyers hays had occasional swimming parties ashore
 General belief was: that this explan- ation would amply answer Huerta's
 
 seizing the island had violated the armistice and would make it plain that the Dixiess commander acted only to insure protection to shipping by main tenance of the Lobos Hgftt. i Disposition of the cases of the South Americans arrested at Vera Cruz had been halted pending word from the ministers of their respective coun- tries. When it became known that General Funston proposed to try the men before a military courtnartial, the Brazilian minister in Mexico City appealed for them. Secretary Garrf- son decided to postpone action on that, pointing out that, properly, 1t should have been made by states of which the prisoners are citizens.
 ANXIOUS ABOUT TAMPTCO. Word anxiously was awaited today of the result of fighting at Tampico, death .grapp1e for territory In which lars are invested. General Zaragoza, commanding at Tampico, reported to Huerta early today that the constitu- tionalists had been defeated Satur- day with heavy losses. It was believ- ed there had sbeen heavy fighting since then and that the federaa repofts were Inot necessarily conclusive.
 The rebels were planning to renew their campaign again in the north and Carranza's agents asserted the constitutionalist chief expected to con- quer the federal garrison at Sa1ti1lo and establish his capitol there penG- ing the final campaign against Mexico City.
