DELAY IN MEDIATION
IS AGAIN LOOKED FOR
IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES
Rebel Followers Not Surprised at
Mediators Decision to Bar
Constituencies
By associated Press

Washington, June 16.-Temporary
suspension of formal conferences at
Niagara Falls among the mediators
and the American and Huerta dele
gates during the absence of the Ar
gentine minister, gave President Will
son and Secretary Bryan to-day addi-
tional time for consideration of men
Ito be suggested for the provisional
presidency in Mexico. Government
officials were said to have experienced
some difficulty in. getting names of
eligibles through Constitutionalist
agents in Washington.
Secretary Bryan was still hopeful
to-day of the ultimate success of me-
diation despite the developments at
the Niagara conference. When he
went to the cabinet meeting the Sec
retary of State said he still believed
the situation would so shape itself
that the Constitutionalists would par
| ticipate in the mediation proceedings
in some form.
Heads of the Constitutionalists
agency here said they had no new
advices from General Carranza but
did not profess surprise at the action
of the mediators in insisting upon an
armistice and the inclusion of the
/ internal problems of Mexico in the
scope of mediation before receiving
the Constitutionalists delegates.
The general opinion in official ci..
cles was that mediation was again
confronted with a period of delay anG
uncertainty, but that another ster
would be worked out soon.
Brigadier General Funston reported
to the War Department to-day that
the food supply of Vera Cruz was not
in great danger, although some prices
were high.

HOLLAND rs VERY
BITTER AT ENGLAND
Objects to steps Being Taken b,
Naval Officers Who Search the
Dutch Ships.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
ROTTERDAM, Oct. 2.-There is
growing bitterness Of feeling through
out Holland against England because
of her interference with Dutch ship
ping and her holding up of cargoes OF
foodstuffs and needed supplies, such
as copper. This feeling is not pro-
German. but It is frankly anti-British.
Although 1t Is reported that an ar
Irangement has been made between
England and the United States where
by food stuffs no longer will be held
up, Hollanders generally resent the
concession their government was
compelled to make and especially the
fact that they were compelled to place
themselves under obligations to Eng
land in order to prevent complete
paralysis Of Dutch trade. Every ship
that sails to or from Holland is being
held up by the British Or French fleet
and ransacked from stem to stern.
Charges are made that international
mails are interferred with, although
have not been officially endorsed by
the Dutch government While the
queen and court circles have been in
clined to sympathize with the German
cause, the plain Dutch burghers have
been and are still frankly anti-German.
They look upon Belgium's fate as
what can be expected for Holland II
Germany wins the war. But England's
action in carrying the right OF
search to the present extreme has
absolutely annihilated all sympathy
with her in Holland.
All Of the facts of the holding up OF
Holland-Amarican liners enroute from
New York and Philadelphia are only
becoming known here now. The Dutch
national pride has been badly hurt
by learning that when British COM
mander took possession of the Moor
dam and took that vessel into Queens
town harbor, he ordered the captain
down from his own bridge. Even
Englishmen here declare that this
was conspicuous example Of disre-
gard for ethics and tactlessness.
There is much wonder here as to
what will be the result when similar
tactics are followed by British war.

merchantmen who are to be put into

York.
