Exchange Telegraph company from

Diplomatic circles in touch with
Germany believe that the reply to
the American note will be delivered

ity it will not be in the nature of a
final reply. They expect Germany
win make contemporaries regarding
the establishment of new rules for

that the king of Spain will be asked
to arbitrate between the two countries
on the question of submarine war
fare"

the American note demanding a
change in submarine warfare under
threat of diplomatic break. has been
completed.
Some few alterations may be made
in its text. These, however, will not
alter the character Of the note. which
WI decided upon several days ago.
Nothing definite can be learned rs to
when it will be dispatched.
Officials prefer that correspondents
cable nothing indicative of the char
acter of Germanys reply until the
communication is received in Wash
ington. 1t was stated. however. that
nothing has occurred to change the
situation materially since last Wednes-
day, when the statement was made
on excellent authority that the crisis
virtually had passed and there would
be no break between Germany and
the United States on developments up
to that time.

learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:

petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-

trouble but could not find anything 70

Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as II Dy

nervousness was gone, stomach trou'
BILE relieved, appetite improved ano'
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration'
as it all happened so quickly. Each

AGREEMENT NEAR
WITH CARRANZA
Scott Continues Conference With
Oregon.
MAY DECIDE ON JOINT HUNT
"First Chief" offers to Put $4,000 Men
in the Field to Guard U. S. 6or-
der If American Army Is
Withdrawn.

Ell Paso. Tex, May 3.-An agree
ment is believed to have been reached
between Generals Scott and Obregon
on the status of the United States
punitive expedition in Mexico.
The conference of the American
chief of staff and the Mexican minis.
ter of war was continued without
sign of interruption until four o'clock,
when a stenographer was sent for
General Funston in the meantime
had come to the hotel where the con-
ference was being held and waited,
apparently expecting to be summoned
Shortly after General Funston's ar
rival word was sent to General Ire
vino to come to the hotel. 1t ap-
peared that formal meeting, which
might end the negotiations, was about
to be held between Generals Scott,
Funston, Obregon and Trevino.
AS the American generals were
ready to submit detailed plans for Co
operation between the Carranza and
American forces in the pursuit of Vii
la and his bandits, it is thought that
the object of the formal conference
may be adoption of such plan.
New Mexican offer.
Washington, May 3.-Developments
here in the Mexican situation awaited
advices from General Scott as to his
latest conference with General 0bre-
gon at FL Paso.
Administration officials declared the
situation to be unchanged in any re-
spect after President Wilson and his
cabinet had conferred at the regular
Tuesday meeting.
From Mexican sources 1t was learned
that, based upon the immediate with.
drawal of the American troops, Gen
eral Carranza had offered through
General Obregon to place an active
army of $4,000 men in northern Mex
leo as soon as the Americans were
withdrawn.
Generals Scott and Funston laid the
situation before President Wilson.
They had no power to deal on that
basis.
Stop Munitions to Mexico.

partment has instructed the comman.

all shipments of war munitions to

REBELS LOST 1000

SOC Killed and | 500 Wounded in
Riots at Dublin.
INJURED FILL THE HOSPITALS
Many Women and Children Struck

pushed by Sim Feiners and
Ten Are Slain.

Dublin, May 3.-At least 500 rebels
were killed and 1900 wounded in the
seven days of fighting in the streets
of Dublin, it was estimated by sol
diers who completed canvass of the
city.
This estimate is conservative, Off
GERS said Rebel bodies were found
beneath the ruins of the general post
office, which was wrecked by British
shell fire; in Liberty hall and in a
number of other buildings demolished
by artillery or burned to the ground.
Bodies Beneath Ruins.
The number of casualties was far
in excess of early estimates and many
bodies are believed to lie beneath ruins
still unsearehed.
The Dublin hospitals are overlooking
with wounded, including many women
and children. AS rapidly as possible.
persons suffering from slight wounds
are discharged to make room for those
whose condition is more serious.
Lord Donoughmore, former COM
and former member of the British
cabinet. is among the wounded. He
was shot while motoring to his coun-
try home north of Dublin, escaping,
however, with only flesh wound.
Last VoIIeY Fired.
A small body of rebels. determined
to die hard, fired the last volley of the
Dublin rebellion ON Monday night
from a position near the Westland sta
ton, which was captured by the rebels
early last week. The crackle of gov
eminent machine guns followed-then
ominous silence. The whole party
had been wiped out
In other parts of the island there
was still some fighting, though it too
was dying down. Official announce
ment was made that the Sim Feiners
of Cork laid down their arms. Mill
tary authorities of Wexford county
are making wholesale arrests among
the rebels.
The city is resuming it's normal life.
Shops are reopening and the people of
meals in several days. Those without
money are provided with army ra-
tions
There was almost a holiday spirit
in the city. All through the center of
the city which for week was the
scene of fighting. people walked about
freely, looking at the ruins in Sack
Vile street.
Hundreds of persons gathered at the
post Office in search of souvenirs.
The havoc in the business district of
the Irish capital is appalling. First re-
ports were wholly inadequate in de-
scriblng the desolation and destruc-
ton. Many bodies still lie beneath
the ruins.
