MEXICO CITY, May 16.-The out

resumed their activities to such an

Announcement is made that the
warship Bravo captured the schooner
Anita off Nautla, in the Gulf, carry
ing arms and ammunition for the
Vera Cruz bandits.
The war department., though de-
claring that banditry is apparently
the sole object of the outlaws, has
directed that a careful watch be kept
over former rebel generals and that
they be arrested as soon as they show
intention of again revolving.

Neither are such theories regarded

In addition, Ambassador Herrick. at

U. S. Takes Initiative.
Some inkling of the conversations
with France previously had been per
mitted to reach the public, but it was
not disclosed until today that Wash
ington had taken the initiative in seek
ing a general refunding arrangement
with all her principal war debtors.
Details of the negotiations still are
withheld, but there were indications
today that the American move virtual
" amounted to a circular notice to
the debtors that this Government be-
lieved the time had come to strike
a general balance.
For many months the administra-
ton has been under ever-increasing
pressure from leaders in Congress and
others who opposed any longer delay

agreements to pay.
French Gestures FruitIess.
During this period France, in par
ticular, has made a succession of
diplomatic gestures indicating that she
would enter into discussions at some
unnamed future date under unspeci-
fed conditions, but not one concrete
proposal emerged from all the dis
cusSion.
The Debt Commission, despite the re-
peated delays, has adhered until the
present to the policy of awaiting pro-
posals from abroad, taking the view
that the debtors should have plenty
of time to turn themselves around
financially before they could be proper
