Rebel Victories Halt
Peace Plan.
The Mediators Announce They Will
Proceed Without Regard to Course
of Carranza.
While the Mexican situation was
outwardly calm, pending the formal
opening of the conference of the
three South American mediators at
Niagara Falls on May 18, there con-
tinued an active undercurrent of dis-
cussion and preparation for the peace
plans, ané at the same time definite
reports reached the Constitutionalist
headquarters in Washington of sweep-
ing victories of their forces near San
Luis Potosi and other points far south
of Saltillo, where it was thought their
next big battle would occur.
The news of Constitutionalist suc-
cesses reached Washington in dis-
patches from General Carranza to Ra-
phael Zubaran, minister of the interior
in the Constitutionalist cabinet, who
had a direct wire set up to the head-
quarters of General Carranza in Chi-
huahua.
General Carranza’s message showed
that three converging campaigns were
in active operation, each within 300
miles of Mexico City. General Obre-
gon, with 15,000 men, operating from
the Pacific coast side, had captured
all the intervening territory, was be-
sieging Mazatlan and was threatening
Mexico City from the west.
Another division, General Carranza
reported, had fought a battle at Pen-
zacos, near San Luis Potosi, which is
800 miles north of Mexico City. This
is the southernmost point which the
Constitutionalists have reached in cen-
tral Mexico, and with the army now
attacking Tampico, they declare that
the general advance on the Mexican
capital is to be made within a few
weeks from three sides.
The significance of these Constitu-
tionalist successes lay in the fact that
San Luis Potosi is far south of Sal-
tillo, and only 300 miles from Tam-
pico on the west and Mexico City on
the south.
General Carranza’s report of the
desperate condition of the Federals at
Mazatlan was coincident with reports
from Admiral Howard, who stated that
a land and sea engagement was car-
ried on there, the Constitutionalists
firing rifles and field guns from Piedra
Island, while the Federal gunboat
Morelos was supported by the Federal
shore batteries.
The South American mediators com-
pleted their plans for beginning the
conference at Niagara Falls. Head-
quarters will be established at a lead:
ing hotel there, which consented to ad-
vance the date of its opening in order
to accommodate the conference. The
mediators, with their secretaries,
stenographers, etc., will make a party
of about fifteen. They will leave Wash-
ington on the 14th to prepare for the
opening conference on the following
Monday. The Huerta delegates are ex-
pected to arrive by way of Montreal,
coming thence to Niagara Falls.
The mediators definitely announced
that they would proceed with their
work without regard to the course of
Carranza, in coming in or remaining
out of the conference. They have made
no further cvertures to him, and if he
comes in it will be voluntary on his
part.
. The United States delegates have
not yet been named. Secretary Bryan
said, however, that there was no truth
in published insinuations that the
United States might not appoint dele-
gates and thus withhold participation
in the conference. He will talk fur-
ther with President Wilson before the
names are announced.
She Is Accused of Killing Eight United
States Seamen.
A woman said to have killed eight
American bluejackets and marines by
“sniping” them in the streets during
the first day of the American occupa:
tion, was given into custody of the
military authorities in Vera Cruz.
A Mexican had informed army offi-
eials of her whereabouts, upon which
her house was searched #~d a quantity
of arms were found. S* ss to be tried

SPRING MILLS.
Who will secure the prize of being postmaster?
That's a puzzler, but a question asked by every-
body.
Miss Anna M. Cummings left on Saturday last
on a month’s sewing engagement in Mill Hall
and vicinity.
Everybody here is busy making garden and
planting early potatoes. Our farmers are still
at the plow. Heretofore nearly all this kind of
work was done in April.
Merchant J. H. Rishel is still at the hospital in
Philadelphia. His condition is not very satisfac-
tory. The physicians say that an operation will
be necessary for any hope of recovery.
All our merchants report business during April
quite satisfactory. Commercial agents stopping
off here say that trade on the road is from fair
to middling, orders numerous but light.
Al Duck has just erected a very handsome
portico at the front of his dwelling, on the south
side of the creek, now occupied by U. A. Meyer.
It adds greatly to the appearance of the build-
ing.
Ray Rossman, assistant at the P. R. R. station,
who was laid off three days per week some time
since and not considering the position worth
holding on such terms, resigned last week. We
are sorry to lose Mr. Rossman as he has proved
himself an able and accommodating young man,
always ready to promptly discharge the duties
of the office. The patrons of the station will miss
him.

Keep the Balance Up.
It has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or to
get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic, craves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge is
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. What this medicine
has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction as
a preventive that it enjoys as a cure. Its
early use has illustrated the wisdom of
the old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength,
and endurance.
—If you always want to have the
best take the WATCHMAN and you'll
have it.
