"Misled" Says Captured
Rebel; Expected Foreign
Troops to Help Them
By Associated Press

Dublin, May L. - I'VE were not led
badly, we were misled," said a cap
tured rebel officer last night. His re-
mark, uttered almost in tone of re-
morse at having participated in the
Sim F'ein revolt, was made as he was
stepping aboard a steamer at North
Wall quay. to be taken to England.
He was one of the party of 4S9 pris-
oners of all ranks who were captured
Sunday.
The military authorities decided to
send the prisoners to England for
trail in order that they may be away
from the prejudice and anger of per-
sons of the places where they revolted,
killing civilians and soldiers. When
the correspondent who was permitted
to go aboard the vessel, interrogated
the prisoners, he gathered they had
no idea when they were ordered to
assemble at various centers on Easter
Monday, that the leaders had ordain-
ed that day for the declaration of the
Irish republic. They reached the
meeting places with rations for only
eight hours, in the belief that they
were merely to carry out pracice
maneuvers, as they had done on other
occasions.
I'VE found large supplies of ammu-
milton piled at the meeting Places
said one of the prisoners, land re-
ceived strict orders to defend our po-
sitions. We were told it would be nee
essary to hold out only until May 2,
when foreign troops would land and
join us i'm fighting the British"
The prisoners included representa-
tives of all parts of Ireland. For the
most part they were men of good ply
sique.

Tropical Wet Season NeW
Problem Confronting Troops
BY Associated Press

Columbus, n. M. May 2.-Heavy
rains falling over Northern Chihuahua
confronted American military author
tiles with a new problem in the trans
portation of supplies to the Mexican
front. Operation of the motor truck
supply line was interrupted because of
the inability of the five trains to make
their way from Colonia Dublan, 16O
miles south of the border, over the
soapy mud of the rutted roads. The
reports here said three of the trains
are at Ascencion and two at Dublan.
The rains, according to old resi-
dents, are but the beginning of the
tropical wet season. which usually
continues in this section for about two
months.
A large detachment of infantry
which was being prepared here to
cross the border will not march to-
day, it was said. However, the men
have been heavily equipped and it is
believed they will be sent shortly to
strengthen General Pershing's short
ened line of communication.
Operations in the field continued at
a practical standstill to-day, so far as
was learned here, all interest being
centered on the conference in Ell

Although no formal demand has

the declaration that longer occupation
by American troops is reducing the

After a conference with Secretary
Lansing yesterday he explained that

Mexican people that American soldiers
are remaining now for some other pur-
pose than to pursue Villa bandits. He
stated that there is no doubt Villas

peared to hinge to-day upon the sue
cess of Mayor Harry l.. Davis in

carmen's union officials put it up to
the mayor to obtain concessions from
the company. If the mayor does not
succeed the carmen say they will walk
out Thursday morning
The company officials say there is
nothing the mayor can do unless he
is willing to discard the three-cent
fare system here. ITO grant the men

have offered to pay them during the
next two years means a certain in

The Secretary had declined to accept
