Washington, juno G.-That the
South American diplomats will soon
give up their efforts to establish peace
in Mexico and leave Niagara Falls is
the prediction freely made in official
circles today. -.
Reports from the mediation confer
encc and from Tampico are consider
ed discOuraging, but the most Omin-
GUS feature is that the administration
is said to have made the United
States liable to a charge of bad faith
toward the mediators by permitting
the landing of arms at Tampico by
the tramp steamship Sunshine in the
face Of assurances by Secretary Of
State Bryan that orders had been is
sued to customs collectors of the
United States to refuse clearances to
American ships carrying arms to
Mexican ports. Despite the fact that
the legal officers Of the commerce de-
partment advised Secretary Bryan
that refusal of clearance to such ships
in advance of an embargo is illegal
the Secretary insists that no ships
carrying arms or ammunition to Mex
lean ports be given proper papers.
Another complication is Gen. HUI

not Instrument of Aggression, Says
President.

Annapolis, Nd, June 81. pray
God 4. may not be necessary for our
boys at Vera Cruz to use any more
force" declared President Wilson to-
day i'm an address to graduates Of
the naval academy. He spoke before
a gathering of moro than 5000 people
made up largely of present and fu-
ture officers Of the navy.
The president referred to the Amer
lean army and navy as "the instru-
ments of civilization, not as the in
struments Of aggression"
"Othcr nations have been strong."
he said, "Other nations have piled
wealth as high as the sky, but they
have come to disgrace because they
used their force and their wealth for
the oppression Of mankind and their
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT; and America
will not bring glory to herself. but
disgrace, by following the beaten
paths of history. We must strike out
on new paths"
President Wilson said in part:
1T ought to be one of yor. thoughts
all the time that you are sample
Americans, not merely sample navy
men, nor merely samples; and that
you have the point of view Of
Americaowith regard to her navy
and her army that she is using them
as the instruments Of civilization. The
idea of America is to serve humanity
and every time you let the Stars and
Stripes free to the wind you ought
to realize that that Is in itself u
message, that you are on an crrand
which other navios have sometimes
forgotten, not an errand Of conquest
but an errand of service.
What do YOU think is tho last
ing impression that those boys down
at Vera Cruz are going to leave?
They have had to use some force-I
pray God 1t may not be necessary
for them to use any mOre-but do YOU
think that the way they fought is
going to be the most lasting impress
sion? Is there anything new in using
force? The new things in the world
arc the things that are divorced from
force. The things that show the
moral cOmpulsiOns Of the human con-
science, those are the things by which
we have been building up civiliza-
tion, not by force. and the lasting
impression that those boys are to
leave will be that they exercised self
control.
You must bear in mind that you
arc the champions Of what is right
and fair all around. no matter where
YOU are, and that it is for what is
right and fair for public welfare that
you are ready to fight and not merely
on tho drop of a hat or upon some
slight punctillio."
The president praised Admiral
Fletcher. saying he had been on duty
longer at Vera Cruz than tho other
commanders and that he had the
qualities of q statesman.
After the ceremony the president
watched the graduates go to their

MEXICO MINUS CELEBRATION

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 24-The Ma tional Palace was m:nus It's holiday today. The scene of diplomatic splen- dor wh.ch last year celebrated the birthday of Huerta was lacking at the big palace, which evhoed with hwryng footsteps bent on negoda- tions to settle the more pressing af- fairs ot state. The former compan- ions end supporters of Huerta infor- mally celebrated the birthday of their deposed dictator but officially Hu- crtc is eliminated in the furry of the new contentious that are threshing out the factional claims of aspirants to fill his boots
 A year ago oday, the National Pal ace revived the custom begun by President Diaz of celebrating the birthday of the chief executive. Hu- erta was 59 years old on that day, and he planned an elaborate celebra- ton of his three-score anniversary this year
 Before daylight military bands marched up and down i1 front of the Palace one year ego, serenading the chief. who during the afternoon re- ceiyed the congratulations of commit tees representing all departments Of the government. The fual event Of the days celebration was a reception tc tl. diplomatic corps when al lthe foreign representatives were received.
 It was 60 years ago today that Nlc- toriano Huerta was born in an hum ble cottage in the village of Colouand in the state of Jalisco. From parish priest he gained his early education, and becam e proficient as writer and mathematician Opportunity came his way in 1871, when General Dona- to Guerra came to the village and wanted letters written. Young Hu- erta accomplished the work, and as a reward was sent to the military col lege. He developed great ability in the field and was early recognized as natural leader He took part in many battles, and after Diaz admin istratlon was disrupted forged rapidly to the front When he was made pro- visional President he was unable to check the spirit of insurrection that had become a fever in Mexico, and was forced to flee this year to Spain. General Huerta is celebrating his birthday today in Barcelona, where he lives in a little cottage outside the village.

 and shouldeui come through the hole in the wall of the county jail
 and realizing that a prisoner was attempting to get away the officer
 fired a shot with a six shooter at
 the escaping prisoner Ybara did not try to hit the prisoner but fired simply to frighten the man The prisoner drew back into the jail at the same time calling to Ybara not to shoot him
 Rodriguez is known to the local officers as persistent law breaker. He was serving a five months sen tence for larceny and for beating up a Chinaman and had four months to serve When first put in the county jail. Rodriguez was sent outside the building Co assist in bringing in some coal He took French leave. but was recaptured by Sheriff Nel- son five days afterwards. During his brief period of liberty Rodriguez beat up a Chinaman ad stole a rope He was again brought before Justice of the Peace Comstock and his origlnm sentence was extended
 The prisoners on the second floor of the county jail are not in custody for serious onenses and are generally serving short terms and are not watched as closely as those being held for the more desperate crimes The night jailer had visited the sec- ond story prisoners but a short tune before Rodriguez made his escape At the time the iailer visited the sec ond story the prisoners were sleep ing and as far as he noticed, every thing was all right Rodriguez must have worked very rapidly for he was out and gone very soon after the iailer had noted him sleeping in his proper place As soon as the es- cape was noticed the city and county officers were informed and an ef- fort is being made today Co recap ture the jail breaker
