the navy department s request for imme- diate information concerning the incident complained of by the huerta government to the mediators, said:
 "Lobos Island has not been occupied The Dixie and some destroyers anchored there and other vessels have coaled there from a collier. The keepers of I4obos Island light deserted it and the Dixie is maintaining it for the benefit of naviga- ton. I understand that the destroyers have had occasional swimming parties ashore"
 The report was sent at once to Secre- tary Bryan Department officials were confident that the explanation would make it plain that there had been no violation of the armistiee. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said the Dixie and the destroyers went to Lobos Island only because it was convenient place to coal, and that the lighthouse keepers evil dently quit their posts in panic with the appearance of American warships
 The incident will be the subject of a general conference at the department to- morrow. At that time Secretary Daniels and his advisers will take up the prob lem of closed lighthouses on the west coast of Mexico. Some naval officers favor the occupation and operation of all the abandoned lights along the coast where navigation has been hindered seri- ously. 1t is probable, however, that the state department will be asked to sug- gest to the mediators that the extmsuish- ing of the lights is violation of the spirit of the armistice
 The admiral reported that at the direc- tion of Rear Admiral Badger he was sending the steamer Mexico to Vera Cruz, via Tuxpam, with all refugees de- string to go to the sfnited States. He said the foreigners on board warships off Tampico wanted refuge and not removal

American Property Destroyed

Fl Paso, Tex, May 1.-The bandits under Rodrigo Quevedo, near the Unit cd States border, have begun to carry out their threats to destroy the wind mills on the property of three large north Mexican ranches owned by American interests.
 Word was received by officials Of a land and cattle company today that a number of windmills had been de- stroyed. The company is moving cat tie valued at s500,000 into the United States as rapidly as possible for if all the windmills are destroyed it is said the cattle face certain death from thirst.
 The last of the constitutionalist troops remaining in Torreon were ex- pected to start for the front today, according to Roberto V. Pesqueira, con- fideltial agent of General Carranza, who returned today from Torreon
 General Raoul Madero. With the Ear agosa brigade, left for the front Sat urday, he said, and other troops left yesterday. The railroad between Tor rcon and Saltillo has been repaired to Paredon, a point about 45 miles from Saltillo. The rebel troops are being taken by train to that point where headquarters will be established and base maintained for the main advance on Saltillo.

SECRETARY BRYAN
 INSISTS SULLIVAN MUST BE RELEASED
(Continued from Page One,

>~-~-~----~-~->->->-~~~~-~> while the truce in the international dis putation proceeds
 Disturbing elements continued to arouse interest throughout the day General Funston in Vera Cruz was appealed to by the Brazilian minister at Mexico City to release some South Americans, including three Brazilians, who had been arrested and are awaiting trial for "sniping" American soldiers from the refuge of a tramp steamer in Vera Cruz barbor. An appeal was made to Secretary Bryan by the mediating envoys on behalf of Gen serald Huerta because of reports that American forces had seized the Mexican lighthouse, Lobos Island, off Tampico. an act which Huerta's agents maintained was aggressive and in violation of the armistice. This government maintained that Hperta had violated the armistice ln ordering lighthouses closed on the Pa ellie coast to the peril of shipping.
 Authorities Provoked
 Authorities here were provoked at be- lated reports that American Vice Consul Silliman was imprisoned by Huerta's sol diers at Saltillo. From Tampco where Mexican federals and constitutionalists have been preparing for sanguinary struggle, came rumblings of battle. while reports that Huerta's strength was wan ing in Mexico City, and that the bandit leader Zapata was about to attack the capital from the south served to arouse diplomatic agents of foreign nations lest their people In Mexico City might be in immediate danger of persecution or death.
 Late in the day Secretary Bryan has tened to the Argentine legislation, where he consulted for half an hour with the medators. None would discuss the con Ference. but 1t was learned that disturb ing reports from Mexico City, together with disputed points that had arisen over the armistice, had been discussed.
 State department officials were indig- nant when it became known that Vice Consul Silliman and his clerk, Joseph A. Marchani, as well as several other Amer leans, had been prisoners of the federal commander at Saltillo and that the consul
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-12

still is held despite urgent representations for his release made by the Brazilian minister in Mexico City. Late dispatches were accepted as indicating that the Mexican war minister's assurances to the French charge last week that neither Consul Siliman, no member of the em- bassy staff and no Americans in Saltillo had been in danger was intended only to deceive state department officials as to the real state of affairs at Saltillo.
 Late in the day Consul Canada reported the arrival of Consul Clerk Marchin in Vera Cruz. The clerk informed MT. Cam ada that before he was released from GUS tody of the Mexcans he was marched under guard from the jail to the con- sulate and compelled at the point of a revolver to open the safe and surrender to the federal commander all the con- suate records and all money and quan- tity of jewelry left there for safe keeping. It is not known here how many Amerl- cans were imprisoned, but word was re- ceived that all had been released except Consul Siliman, and that these Saltilo refugees are part of band of 100 who left Mexico City for Vera Cruz today. There is nothing officials nere do to expedite the realease of Consul Silli- man. They merely can await the good offices of the Brazilian minister, who gives assurances that he Is doing every thing possible to obtain ms nDerdtlOn
 Despite such disquieting elements al ways attendant upon revolution and threatened international conflict, the Latin American mediators proceeded ener- getically with their plans for the confer ence at Niagara Falls.
 Do Not Confer
 Justice Lamar and MT. Lehman, the American representatives, did not confer awaiting further instructions from the state department and President Wilson, who will return tomorrow from the me- morial in New York to the Vera Cruz dead. The American advisers do not know when they will leave for Canada, but expect to decide tomorrow. Thus far no steps have been taken to organize their mission. Details and the selection of their assistants will be taken up with the President and Secretary Bryan to- morrow. There is possibility that still another American representative may be chosen, but Mr. Bryan said tonight that it would be assumed for the present that there would be only two.
 Justice Lamar made no comment on his
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-12

selection for the important mission. MT. Lehman said.
 We are awaiting the pleasure of the Secretary of State'
 With relation to the arrest at Vera Cruz of South American citizens General Funston has proposed to try them before a military commission. As penalty fol conviction would be death, Latin-Ameri. ca diplomatic representatives in Mexico City were thrown into a panic and in. duced the Brazilian minister to intervene, reasoning that because that minister had assumed responsibility for the lives and property of Americans in Mexico, these representations might have greatef weight. Secretary Garrison postponed temporarily decision upon the appeal by calling attention to the fact that it should properly be made by the ministers in Mexico representing the countries of which these prisoners are citizens. and re- ferring the whole matter to the state de- partment
 May Prove Embarrassing
 The subject, it was pointed out, might prove embarra ssing for the reason that the case involves the right of General Funston to try any person for his life before military commission in time of peace, and that the administration has not conceded the existence of state of war.
 The navy department seeks to ascertain all the facts connected with the reported seizure of Lobos Island, about 25 miles south of Tampico by Admiral Mayo's orders, as was charged by the Mexican government in a complaint submitted by the Brazilian ambassador here, as head Of the mediation board. The state de- partment has requested such an inyesti- gation, but the navai authorities, pend- ing It's conclusion, are confident that there has been no seizure of territory and that the most Admiral Mayo has done Is to take the necessary steps to insure house on this island.
 The only sign of military activity in connection with the Mexican situation was the gathering of a dozen of the ranking officers of the army now in Washington in the office of Secretary Garrison for an hours conference Sec retary Garrison explained that the pur- pose of the meeting was for enlightment on the militia laws of the country.
 Regarding the arrest reported today from Vera Cruz of Lieut. Charles NJ Maigne, the retired army officer serving as newspaper correspondent in Mexico Secretary Garrison said he had directed General Funston to hold Maigne await ing further orders.
 MT. Garrison said a retired officer must have permission to act as a war cor respondent and he has asserted previ. ously that he would not tolerate such action on the part of any officer.

Urge Army Hospital

Galveston, Tex, May 11.-An army hos pital is to be established in Galveston in the event of war with Mexico or if additional troops in any large number are sent to reinforce General Funston s army now in Vera Cruz. A large hotel located on the beach front was tentatively engaged today for the purpose of convert ing it into a hospital should hostilities begin in Mexico
 The War department, it is reported, will not attempt to give continued care for the wounded in Vera Cruz, but will bring the injured or i'll soldiers on a hospital ship to this city where they can be treated under more beneficial climatic conditions before being sent to their homes
 Galveston has been decided upon as the principal port of embarkation should the order be given for the troops to move to Mexico. Three army transports are awaiting orders. three steamships have been chartered here and are being rapid ly converted into transports and three other steamships have or are about to depart from New York for this city to be ready to take on troops. About 5000 officers and enlisted men are at Texas City waiting the word to board ship for Vera Cruz

To Move Rebel Capital

Fl Paso Tex, May 11.-General Car ranza is planning the establishment or ms provisional capital at Saltil1o Within an extremely short time, ac- cording to Robert " Pesqueira con fldential agent of the constitutonaIist chief, who returned today from Tor reon General Carranza who left yes- terday for Durango to smooth out Wrinkles in the organization of the civil government of that state, is ex- pected to return to Torreon within a few days Shortly after that time he expects to. be able to enter Saltillo.
 once that point is gained, 1t is said the provisional capital is expected to remain there until the constitutionalist troops march through the streets of Mexico City
 The confidence shown in Carranza's s plans is reflected in the attitude of high constitutionalist officials here re- garding the embargo on arms. When Questioned as to what action they think the United States would take re- gardlns arm shipments consigned to the constitutonalists at Tampico should they take that port. which they are now attacking, they are noncom- initial. but they assert positively that the embargo is not vital question for them,
 They declare they have sufficient ammunition to see them through the lighting to Mexico City and that they expect to capture a large additional supply at Saltillo.
 The plan to transfer to San An tonic the junta and offices of the con- stitutionalists which have been main tained here has been abandoned ac- cording to MT. Pasqueira. MT.
