OFFICIALS DISCOURAGE
MEDIATION EFFORTS
Attempts Originating With Mexi-
cans Are Being Received Coldly
by the Administration.

Additional efforts to sound administra-
ton officials as to their attitude toward
some form Of mediation are meeting with
a chilling reception. Charles A. Douglas,
recently employed as Gen. Carranza's
legal adviser here. called on Counselor
Polk late yesterday at the State Depart
ment. He and DR.. Victor A. Rendon.

had received word from Luis Cabrera, the
Mexican finance minister, that Gen. Car
rama was disposed to appeal to the arbi-
tration provisions of the treaty Of 1s4S,
provided the United States was willing
to submit the dispute to peaceful negotia-
ton.
Mr.. Douglas is understood to have sug-
gested that the arbitration provided for
under section 21 of the treaty could well
be employed to formulate definite Ques-
ton as between the two governments.
which in turn might be settled by media
ton. He left the conference with the
clear impression that the Washington gov
ernment would listen to no mediation sug-
gestions.
All questions, including that Of possible
mediation, are here regarded as subsidiary
to that Of the freeing of the American
troopers at Chihuahua. Officials were
gratified to learn by a report Of the
British consul in that city that the pris-
oners were being well treated and that
only two were slightly wounded.

Advices reaching the State Depart

majority of Americans in Mexico are

guardsmen within two days after they

Unless circumstances make 1t impos-
sible. some part of each command will

will be made under conditions such as
prevail in active campaigns. The guards

Ell PASO, Tex, June 2S.-Mexicar
reports indicate that Gen. Jacinto Tre-
vino. commanding the Carranza army
corps of the north, has practically COM
pieted the disposition of his troops in
preparation for possible hostilities with
the United States. The command, the
strength of which is variously estimat-
ed from $4,000 to 10000 men. has been
distributed along the two railroads of
Chihuahua-the Mexican Central and the
Mexican Northwestern-and in the
Santa Maria River valley. in such a
way as to menace the American line of
communication and present an obstacle
to a possible American drive toward
chihuahua city.

by the Stationing of large forces at
Bustillos and Guzman- At each place
several thousand men are said to be

man, about fifty miles southwest of

the road to transport supplies from the
border to Gen. Pershing's column and
that at Bustiilos. seventy miles west
Of Chihuahua city, to prevent Gen.
Pershing dspatching troops by rail to
take the state capital.

of Namiquipa, their guns command

The Mexican de facto government

ceived today at the local consulate
from Mexico City. 1t pointed out that

the withdrawal Of the punitive FORCES
from Bachinova and San Geronamo.

drawn from Gen. Trevino's report was

MOB BREAKS WINDOWS

for several hours and smashed win
doWs.
The militia was called out to aid the
police. Several persons were injured
by flying missiles, but no one was seri-

The cause of the riot was the objec-
tion to the granting by the city of a
permit to Thomas A. Leyden of Som
erville to deliver an address in the
city hall on sectarian questions, par
ticularly advocating state appropria-
ton for sectarian schools.
An immense crowd formed about
the building and became so threaten

The crowd then began throwing stones
at windows in the city hall while por-
tons of the mob went to other parts
Of the city and attacked the residences
of persons who had assisted in ar
ranging for Leyden'S address.
