Government Anxiously Waits Result
of Scott -Obregon Farley

WASHINGTON. May 11.-New warn
ing to Americans to quit Mexico has been
forwarded to consuls by the State De-
partment, it was officially admitted to
day. This action was taken By calling
their attention to orders hitherto given.
Officials hoped today that General Scott
would be able to prevail on Obregon t.
meet the United States terms at the con,
ference at FL Paso today.
The question of limiting the time OF
stay of the American punitive expedition
appeared from Scott's messages still to bI
the chief difficulty.
Secretary Baker took an optimistic
view of the situation after Scott's --latest
word last night.
From a high official came the state
ment that obregon and Carranza might
be endeavoring to grasp a political ad
vantage from the conference. but in every

or gunboats can. They were used largely
in blockading the Cuban coast in the
Spanish American War.

Thomas Kent, the 14th irish leader to
be executed by shooting, probably will he
the last to pay the death penalty unless
Sir Roger Easement is convicted of trea-
son. II was stated today.
Kent was shot at Queenstown Tuesday,
said an official statement Issued at Duh
lin early today. He was found guilty of
"lncitlng rebellion" in the vicinity of Fer
moy, County Cork. Kent was the first
separatist executed outside Dublin. His
brother, arrested with him, was acquitted.
There was much speculation today as to
the probable successor of Baron VIM
borne Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. who
resigned yesterday because of the Dublin
outbreaks. Under Secretary for War
Harold ]. Tenant Lord Derby, the Duke
OF Devonshire and winston Churchill
former First Lord of the Admiralty, were
mentioned in connection with the post
royal commission to investigate the
Irish rebellion has been named. Pre-
mler Asquith admitted that an Irish edi-
tor, f. Sheehy Skeffington. and two other
journalists, had been shot in Dublin
under such circumstances as to jus
tify the court.martialing of a British
officer, and. finally, the Irish parliament
tary party issued n manifesto to the peo-
pie of Ireland, calling upon them to sup
port the constitutional movement as the
only one by which their aspirations for
self government could possibly be realized.
RESENTMENT GROWING FAST.
OF these important events by far the
most sensational was the revelation con-
cerning Skeffington. which formed the
climax of the fast-growing resentment of
the Irish people at the continuance of ex-
ecutions in Dublin, which has already
given the Government pause and induced
Premier Asquith to give an undertaking
that. although there are two rebels still
awaiting execution, there will be no more
executions pending the parliamentary dis.
cussion promised for today on demand
of the veteran Nationalist, John Dillon.
While there is considerable difference of
opinion as to whether 1t is safe to revoke
martial law in Ireland yet. and many
members of both houses are. satisfied that

tion on April 2S.
The Premier informed the House that
Sir Roger Easement, who was captured on
attempting to land in Ireland to lead the
rebellion, would be placed on trial on
Monday.
Lord Loreburn introduced a motion ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the admins
tration of Ireland.
Count Markievic2, whose wife, the
Countess Markevicz was sentenced to
death, but later had the death sentence
commuted to life Imprisonment for par
ticipating in the Dublin outbreaks, ex-
pressed complete indifference when in
formed of the Countess fate, according to
Petrograd dispatches today.
Markievicz is serving with a Russian
hussar regiment. He separated from his
wife few years ago partly because 'of
her connection with the Irish movement.

been obtained. The long, narrow pan

neat ratings on both the porch and the

do not wish to sacrifice the second

still able to get much of the distinc-

yet they may easily have ample room
for sleeping accommodations on the
second floor. For those who do not
object to the first floor bedroom, and
who do not like the Inconvenience OF
