Augustin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero,
the three peace commissioners ap-
pointed by President Huerta to rep

Havana, en- route to Key West, are

ferred full power and ample author
ity to Judge, counsel, carry on busi-
ness and sign any agreement or
treaty whatever"
Many prominent Mexicans here,
however, are not inclined to regard
this broad authority as real. Others
believe that Huerta has instructed
the commissioners to place no insur-
mountable objections to an amicable
adjustment of the difficulties with
the United States, believing that the
failure of the negotiations might re-
suit in pushing American interven-
ton, which they feel would not unite
factions, but force Huerta to fight
alone.
1t is the general opinion that Huer-
ia entertains no fears of an advance

concluded their work. This theory is
supported by reports brought by
Americans arriving from Mexico City,
who say that General Mas evidently

Juarez, Mexico, May 11.-News of
the fate of Tampico still is awaited
here by constituionalist officers with
the greatest expectancy. While un-
confirmed rumors have reached here
through unofficial channels that Gen.

Caballero, in command of the consti-

the artillery by Major Manuel Prieto,
who is in charge of the constitutions

ate of Chapultepec military academy,
and is expected to open the oppor-
tunity for a dash by dismounted troop
