MILITARY MEN BARRED|N0 NATION IS SPARED 8aid Mexican Delegates to Conference | Investigators at Niagara Falls Will Not Listen to Selection of Any Rebel Leader as President of the Republic. Washington, May 19.—General Huer- ta has authorized the Mexican media- tion delegates to submit his resigna- tion, in case such a course is found Lecessary to a 'settlement in peace negotiations. This was stated posi- tively in dispatches from a thoroughly competent diplomatic source in Mex- ico City to one of the foreign repre- sentaives here and confirms intima- tions given by friends of the delegates here. According to this information from Mexico City General Huerta at first authorized the delegates to discuss only the question of the Tampico con- fifet, leading to the American occupa. tion of Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican dictator, it is ex- plained, came to recognize the neces- sity of a broader settlement and then conveyed to the delegates assurances that he was prepared to step down should this course be found necessary by them. Form of Rule Puzzling. The problem causing chief concern to diplomats in Mexico City now is that of the form of administration to be established during the interregnum before a constitutionally elected pres- icent could assume office. No intimations concerning the name of a possible successor to Huerta were contained in the dispatch, this subject being one in which it would be necessary to consult Constitution- alists and other leaders in Mexico. The information of Huerta's atti- tude now received thyough foreign diplomatic channels agrees with the view obtained by some of the close fiiends of the Mexicans during their stop here. Atcording to this view the delegates realized that the present ad- ministration at Mexico City was fast going to pieces, and it was inevitable that Huerta give place to some other authority. It did not, however, dis- close that Huerta had authorized his resignation, if thes considered that course necessary, and this more defi- nite phase was first made known in the dispatch through diplomatic chan- nels. Delegates Desire Peace. The Mexican delegates are not as, but represent broadly the best elements in the federal districts desirous of bringing aboyt an orderly government in that section and throughout Mexico. In that respect, their wishes are believed to cor- respond with the wishes and inten- tlons of the American government. Who will come after Huerta, whether an individual or a provision- al commission, still is an open ques- tion, out it is gathered that the suc- cession will not be likely to fall on wilite vy leaders who have come to prominence “by arbitrary force.” ‘The Huerta delegates never will agree to the selection for provisional president of any of the Constitutional- ist military men,” said a man who lad a long talk with the Huerta repre- sentatives here. “They are not suggesting any names, however, for provisional presi- cent, nor are they going to make sug- gestions to the mediators unless ask- ed.” BATTLE OF SALTILLO OPENED Outposts Resist Advance of General Villa’s Army. Headquarters Constitutionalist Ar- my, Rio. Coahuilla, May 19.—Sharp skirmishing at a point eight miles east of Saltillo began when federal field guns bombarded the advancing rebel This was reported to General Fran- cisco Villa before he rode out at dawn on a recounoitering expedition. ncounters between rebels and fed- rals have occurred and it is expected fighting will be general along the en- tire front and the final advance on Saltillo begun before night. A large force of federals, well equipped with artillery, poured a hot fire ‘into the rebel ranks at .Flora when rebel cavalrymen attempted to reach the federals’ rear. The feder- als retired toward the city. Couriers reported that there were no indications that the federal forces would evacuate Saltillo in.an attempt to reach San Luis Potosi. Villa: es- tablished a temporary base ten miles north of Saltillo. 1t is expected he will direct his final assault from the waterworks east of Saltillo, reported already to be in rebel hands.

Vessels 8layer of Prince on Trial. ‘Warsaw, Ressia-Poland, May 19.— M. von Disping, a promizent Russian landholder, was placed on trial for the murder of Prince Drucki-Lubecki, one of the wealthiest noblemen in Poland. Bisping had forged six drafts each for $25,000 with the prince’s name and hoped to cash them after he killed him, v BALKAN HORRORS Commission. Declare That the So Called Christian Countries Equallcd the Moslams in Barbarous Acts and | Atrocities. New York, May 19.—Results of an exhaustive investigation into the con- ditions in the Balkans during and fol- lowing the wars of 1912 and 1913, with a view to clarifying public opin- ion, which has been baffled by con- flicting reports and befogged by un- authentic detail, have been made pub- lic by the Balkan commission of in- quiry of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Pessimism based on the terrible nioral consequences of a war which was a series of unutterable atrocities characterizes the conclusions of the commission as to the possibilities of immediate peace or stability among the Balkan nations. The commission found conditions of desolation, utter wretchedness and so- cial and moral disintegration which defied full portrayal even in its com- prehensive report. “This moral and’| social chaos is the direct result,” ac- cording to the commission, “of the un- speakable practices of the contending forces.” The list of horros is at time more startling that the unsupported rumors which formerly were received with in- credulity. No Nation Is Spared. No one of the Balkan nations is spared. Atrocities committed upon the noncombatant Moslems in Mace- donia surpassed in many instances the crimes committed by. the race from which the Christian nations were sup- posed to have received their educa- tion in the refinements of cruelty. The barbarous acts and inhuman re- prisals performed by Bulgarians, Servians and Greeks against each other would be incredible if they were not supported by unquestionable evi- dence. “Our document,” says the report, “gives particulars, village by village, of the Moslems who were killed and robbed. In the villages all these ex- cesses seem to have been the work of local Greek bands. The most active of these bands was led by a priest and a warlike grocer who was a mem- ber of the bishop’s council. The Turks, indeed, accused the bishop of directing all these atrocities.” One band, under a notorious guer- rilla chief, was said to have burned 345 Turkish houses in one day, shut up the men in mosques and burned them alive or shot them as they at- tempted to escape. Ex-Queen Amelia, of Portugal, has written a book of her reminiscences which has been prohibeted in her own country.
