Washington, D. C The omnln of
the Mexican mediation conference at
Niagara Falls on the scheduled date.
May 18, was assured when word was
received of the departure of the Mexi
can delegates from Mexico City for the
conference.
Preparations are being made for
dispatching reinforcements to General
Funston at Vera Cruz should such a
movement become necessary, work on
12 transports to carry troops, horses
and supplies Is being pushed, and the
military apparently Is being kept well
In leash to avoid embarrassing the
mediation negotiations.
A threatening cloud disappeared
from the diplomatic horizon when
the German steamer Kronprlnzessln
Cecilie, reported to be carrying arms
nnd ammunition for Huerta, returned
to Vera Cruz without debarking her
was stores at Puerto Mexico, and it
was announced that the munitions on
this and a second German steamer, the
liavarla, would be returned to Ger
many. The possibility either of a
seizure of Itlockado of Puerto Mexico
or of an act perhnps interpretable as a
violation of the military status nuo in
favor of Huerta thereby Mas eli
minated, i
With possible hindrances tn merits.

General Huerta about alleged viola
tions of the armistice understandin?'

pearance, the South American meillA.'
tors, it is understood, see nothing on
the horizon to check the beginning of

May 18.
Huerta, as far as was known hsil
expressed no dissatisfaction with the
reply of the I'nited Stales to lils nrn.
test and the actual departure of the
delegates was taken as an earnest of
bis serious Intention to proceed with
mediation. His delegates are expected
to come to Washington from Kpv
West or Galveston. They, of course.
will have safe conduct through the
