meet ON BORDER
U. S. Delegates May Confer
With Carranza Personally.
Mexican Conferees in a Scrap
Among Themselves Now.

Atlantic City, NJ J., Nov. 13.-F,ric-
ton has developed between Luis Ca
brera, chairman OF the Mexican peace
delegation and Alberto J. PAM and
Ignacio Bonillas, his fellow ENJOYS.
AS result, PAM and Bonillas are ex-
pected to ask Carranza to remove Ca
brera and invite the American dele
gates to confer personally with the
first chief in Mexico or on the border.
The feud has been simmering for
some time. Details were made public
Sunday for the first time. The fight
began in New London when PAM sided
with the American commissioners in
certain features of plan to rehabi-
itate the Mexican railways. of which
PAM is head. Cabrera upset Pants
work by criticism. Suggestions adj
vanced by Bonillas were likewise over
thrown by Cabrera.
Carranza Informed.
Friends of PAM and Bonillas then
informed Cnrranza and that Cabrera
was interfering with the work of the
commission by his fault-finding. Co.
brera was Mexico's secretary OF finance
and one of his duties here was to Sc
cure financial aid for Carranza in the
United States. In this work the first
chief was told Cabrera had failed.
1t is now learned that the reports
from Mexico City that Eliseo Arredon
do was to be succeeded bysCabrera as
Mexican ambassador at Washington
were the result of these secret advices
to Carranza. The plan at that time pro-
vided for a man to succeed Cabrera
who could work with his Mexican col
leagues more tremendously and ham
die the American commissioners more
automatically. Cabrera, however, pre-
vented this counter move.
Ignore Cabrera.

MEXICO REPORTS

May Be Busy Il
GENERALS TO CONFER
Scott md Funston Go to Discuss
Cooperation With Obregon
Speaking for CarranZa.

Washington, April 27.-Outside of
the possible activities of Gen. PERISH
ing's calvary patrols, there was little
to-day in the Mexican situation
Gen. Obregon and the Caranza Of
ficers accompanying him were ap-
preaching the border from the south
while Gen. Scott ad Gen. Funston
were preparing to meet the Mexican
officers in Juarez or FL Paso in the
conference upon which may depend.
There was no definite information
as to when the conference would be-
gin. Gen. Obregon should reach
Juarez tomorrow night, it is thought,
and the American officers also will be
at the meeting place by that time.
Pending the result Of this attempt
to secure the operation OF the Car
rama forces in the campaign against
hrigandage, the Washington govern
ment will take no important steps
either military or diplomatic. The
redisposition OF the forces in Mexico
is proceeding. No steps are being
taken at the state department to-
wards preparing a reply to Gen. Car
ranza's note suggesting a withdrawal
OF the American troops and none will
be taken until the conference con-
cludes.
Navy and state department advices
from various parts OF Mexico report
ed continued quiet to-day. ONLY
routine reports and a few additional
details of the last actions between
the cavalry and the bandits reached
the war department
A complaint that the four new
,aeroplanes sent to the border were
inadequate came from Gen. Funston
He said the engines were too light for
the work required. Secretary Baker
replied that the four had been sent
only because they were the only type
available for immediate delivery.
Four additional $50 horse power ma
chimes are on their way to the bor-
der and eight others are to follow.
These are the most powerful aero
plane engines developed in the
United States.
Reports to the department showed
the troops in Mexico to be fully pro-
visioned and equipped for month
at least. Lines OF communication are
so well established that officers here
feel no uneasiness on the supply
question.

New York. April 27.-No one
familiar with the course Of Irish af-
fairs since the outbreak of the war
was surprised at news of the insur-
rH"tion now in progress. according to
a statement issued to-day by John u.
Moore, National secretary of the
Friends of Irish Freedom.
THE Irish rebellion was the act OF
brave and patriotic men who are
neither firebrands nor hotheads. said
Mr.. Moore. ''Now that Mr.. Asuuith
has acknowledged that it has spread
all over Ireland il is clear that the
uprising has only one meaning and
that is that Ireland is. as always.
resolved to be free and independent.
"Convinced that Ensland's necessi-
ties. ever more pressing. would soon
drag them into war, thousands OF
gallant Irishmen have revolted be-
cause they prefer to die fighting
against England for Ireland than
fighting for England in the trenches
at Flanders.
"lf the rebellion succeeds, its lead
ers will rank with the worlds great
men. If it fails, the Irish will love
them as they love Robert Emmet
The revolt does not look like a fail
ure now.
Sudden and dramatic a. the up-
rising has been, 1t would surprise no.
body who has followed the course Of
Irish affairs since the outbreak OF
the war. Moreover, IT completely
skaters the carefully constructed
myth th"t the mere passage of a
mock home rule bill had transformed
Ireland into an integral part of the
British Empire"

Revolt Spreads; Ireland
Under Martial Law

Huppi SSSlbS lllS lSDelllOu.
That hopeful feeling prevailed in
Parliament was seen in the fact that
no opposition was raised to the ad-
journment of the House to Tuesday.
after the Ministers had promised that
this would not interfere with the is
suance of any available news.
That the government intends to
deal with the offenders with a heavy
hand is indicated by the publication
of proclamation in the official ga
zette suspending in Ireland section
one of the defense of the Realm
Amendment Act Of 1915 which gives
to a british subject charge with an
ohense under the act the right to be
tried by civil court.
The proclamation recites that "tht
present state OF affairs in Ireland is
such as to constitute special mill
tary emergency.
A dispatch from Tralee. County of
Kerry, says that a sensation has been
caused there by the arrest of a prom
inent member of the Tralee Irish
volunteers. Austin Stack. An ac-
countant in the general postoffice at
Dublin, Cornelius Collins, has also
been taken into custody. Both are
charged with conspiracy in aidiog the
importation of arms from an enemy.
Dublin is further from London to-
day than Peking is from New York,
so far as communication for the gen
eral public is concerned. No Irish
newspapers have reached here since
the rising and passenger traffic has
been for the most part suspended.
The only information comes through
official channels.
England naturally is extremely
anxious about the Irish situation. but
no fears are expressed that the gov
ernment will not be able to suppress
the rising. The casualties thus far
do not exceed what might have oc-
cured in civil riots, but more severe
fighting is likely TO follow before
quiet is restored in Dublin.
The extent of the seditious move
ment is for the present government
al secret, except that ii has spread
to the west and south. It was on
the west coast Of Ireland that Sir
Roger Easements expedition. consist
ing Of submarine and a steamer.
was intending to land munitions
when the steamer was captured by a
patrol boat.
incidentally, messages express the
fullest confidence in Mr.. Redmond
and the Irish Parliamentary party.
Some messages were given out for
publication by the Nationalist leader.
One from Sydney. signed "Mac-Car-
thy" reads:
THE sectional pro-German riotine
dissusts home rulers here. Take
heart. Our race is with you and our
gallant countrymen at the front"
