 Generally speaking, the aim of Generals Scott and Funston will be to secure the consent of General Obre- gOn to the employment of the Amer ately south of the border, and to the organization of the Mexican forces along definite lines in order that all of Northern Mexico may be secured thoroughly for Villa and other out laws.

EIGHT GERMANS INDICTED
 ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES
Accused of Placing Bombs on Ships Carrying Munitions to Entente Allies,

New York, April 2S. - The federal grand jury returned an indictment to- day against the eight Germans recent ly arrested on the charge of engaging in a conspiracy to place incendiary bombs on ships carrying munitions for the entente allies and against Dr. Walter T. Scheele, president of the New Jersey Agricultural Chemical Company, the alleged leader of the conspiracy, who has not yet been ar rested.
 It was at Scheele's factory that the bCmbS were partly manufactured it is alleged. The indictment was found on the testimony given by Captain 1 Charles Won Kleist, who was en- | Ernest Becker, an electrician aboard the Hamburg-American Line Steam ship Frederick der Crosse, on which, also, it is alleged bombs were manu- | factured. Both were among those in l dicted, but have been promised inn munity, according to the district att | torney. The others are Captain Otto 1 WoIpert and Captain Enc Bode, of the | Hamburg American Line; Carl | Paredes and George Praedel, assist ant engineers on the Friedrich der l Crosse.
 The indictment charges that the acts in the conspiracy were committed be- 1 tween January, 1915, and April, 1916 It asserts that Dr. Scheele purchased 1 the lead used in the manufacture Oi Company, of Jersey City, at various times in April, 1915, and on January
 Sand February ?. 1916. On April 15 Becker is accused of having deliv- cred to Wolpert 9 satCheI containing .

 Seized Public House.
 In the Portobello Road, over the canal, which forms the boundary of the city, the Sim Feiners seized a corner public house. Here also holi- day y-makers suffered from promiscu- ous shooting. One platoon of the Royal Irish Rifles succeeded in dis lodging and taking prisoners these
 Isolated Individuals Shot. During Monday officers and men in khaki and isolated individuals were shot at in the streets. Some of them are reported to have been killed or wounded.
 Newspapers Suspend.
 No evening papers appeared in Dub lin Monday and no morning papers were published today. The Evening Mail office was occupied by members of the Sim Fein yesterday. They still retain their possession of the building. The military have estab- ished themselves opposite the Even ! ing Mail office.
 College of Surgeons Seized.
 The Royal College of Surgeons was seized by the Sim Feiners and their nag flown from it.
 Thus far the revolters have captured nothing by fighting. There was no- | body to resist them and they simply occupied unprotected buildings. 1 Military Has Not Shown It's Strenoth. The authorities express the opin- ! lon that the trouble may last a day or two. They say there is ample force at the disposal of the government to Queu the entire disturbance with ease. | The sympathy of the people gener- ally, they declare, is against the dis i turoers, but thus far the military au- thortIes have not shown their strength They are no doubt anxious i to end the trouble with a minimum of 1 bloodshed and destruction of pro- perty.
 Shooting was Wild and Reckless. It is impossible as yet to ascertain or even approximate the number of persons killed or injured, but there is no doubt that the aggregate is considerable, as the holiday crowds 1 were large and the shooting by the Sim F'einers was very wild and reck les.

GERARD INVITED TO CONFER
 WITH EMPEROR WILLIAM
No E~Rlanation of Any Kind Accom-
 panied Invitation.


 Washington. April 2s.-Ambassador Gerard. in advising the state depart ment today that he had been invited to confer with Emperor William at army headquarters, said he had not been informed of the purpose of the conference. In fact, Secretary Lans- ing said when announcing the receipt O. Mir. Gerard's despatch. no explana- ton of any kind had accompanied the invitation.
 The belief prevails here. however. that the emperor desires to discuss the general submarine situation with Ambassador Gerard and possibly ex- plain in detail his views for the bene- it of President Wilson.
 Brief consideration was given the submarine issue at today's cabinet meetinE-the first held in a week. Secretary Lansing could give only the most meagre irforma ion on the sub iect. In view of tho activity of Ger man government officials and their np- parent intention to reach a decision as quickly as possible. the president is disposed not to instruct Ambassador Gerard to press for a reply to the American demand at once. The dues- ton will not be allowed 10 drag along for many mere days however, 1t was said today
