During a brief but spirited discussion, Senator Lodge read grom a Londen paper a scathing de- gonciation of Villa. The Lippitt res- olution went over until tomorrow, un- dor the senate rules. President Wilson and his cabinet held the regular Tpesday meating, but it for the first time that “all the dif- figuities which contribute toward the present situstion in Mexico bear either directly or indirectly on the solution of the pending conflict between Mex- 1p and the United States.” The mediators therefore anmounced that al! these difficulties should “be made the subjest of negotiations.” They also informed Carranza that they sonsidered a suspension of hostilitios 2s “Iidispensable” to participatien in the mediation. Text of Note to Carranza. Thelr noie to, Carranza follow: #We have rbeeived your telegram, 4n which you are kind enough to tell ue that vou deem it incenvenient for the constitutionalist cause to suspend hestilties against General Huerta on the ground that such suspegsion would ealy acerue to the benefit of Huerta on in which you declare that the inter- pational conflict between Mexico and ite United States for whose solution gou accented our goad offices is inde- gendent of the internal strife in that eountry, “We consider this unexpected atate- | ment as inconsistent ‘with the {dea | ‘which caused us to offer our good of- fices.” We think, indeed, that'all the difficulties in Mexico bear either di- rectly or indirectly on the solution of e pending conflict between Mexico and the United States.

Views of Foreign Diplomats. Outside of the mediators, #ome of the foreign diplomats took the view that the elimination of Carranza and the limitations of negotiations to amend for indignities to American and marines at Tampico and Vera Cruz, would be a step in ad- . They pointed out. that Presi- dent Wilson and Secretary Bryam had ingisted that the troops were sent io ‘Vera Cruz solely to redress the in- dignities. If, therefore, the mediators could furnish a formula for this redress these was no reason, they de- ciared, why ths troops should not be withdrawn and the present crisis as between Huerta and the United States ended. Other diplomats familiar with European procedure when foreign ter- ritory had been ocoupied, were doubt- ful whether the troops, once at Vera Cruz would or could be with- drawn until a complete settlement had our games from previous rounds of the international tourney zowitch.

His relatives said earlier today that he had shown indications of mental irresponsibility in recent years and their statements were supported by his actions after his arrest this morning. The authorities decided upon his re- meval to the hospital as a measure of precaution, so that Duryea might not harm himself. General Duryea, distinguished Civil Wwar veteran and head of the famous Duryea Zouaves, was shot while in his bed. He was asleep at the time, it is believed and died without making an: defense.

Federals Evacuated Acapulco April 28 on Arrival of Cruiser South Dakota. On Board U. 8. B. South Dakota, Acapulco, Mexico, April 28, via San Diego, May 5—(Delayed in s- sion).—The arrival of the cruiser South Dakota late today was a signal for the immediate evacuation of the city by the Mexican federals. The vessel anchored in the bay at nightfall and made no_ attempt to send boats ashore. The Mexicans returned later. Commandant Sale of the federal garrison issued a proclamation ema- nating from Mexico City offering com» plete amnesty to all rebels who would Join the federals against the United Btates. ‘The Huertistas, headed by the miH- tary ang civil cials, soon afterward turned their attention to the celebra- tion of several important Mexican vic- tories over the United States slong the northern border, news of which, it was pretended, had just reached Acapulco. General Villa and General Carranza had joined Huerta, so the story ran, and were marching victoriously into the United States; EI Paso and Brownsville had fallen before the in- vading armies of the united Mexican leaders, and the Americans had lost 600 in killed at Vera Crus. These falso tales of Mexican achieve- | SHESR 0 | ments so inflamed the population that no shore liberty was granted on the Seuath Dakota, for fear the sight of the American unifoerm in the streets might lead to disorders and bloodshed. It developed tonight that the proba- ble reason for the return of the fed eral troops to Acapulco after their flight on the South Dakota’s arrival ‘was the menading proximity of a band of Zapata's foHowers whe, it is be- lieved, are contemplating an early tack on the city.

Burned Steamer PICKED UP BY CUNARD LINER FRANCONIA ONE BOAT STILL ADRIFT N Containing Chief Officer and Second Officer and 17 Men—Lost Ship was Leland Liner Columbia. On Board Steamer Franconla, via Bable Island, May 5. —Thirteen sur- :lwrn of the British steamer Colum- survivors was the body of steward, Matthews. Another boat, containing the chief and second officer and seventeen men, was still adrift. The Franconia cruised in search. Those aboard the Franconia are: ::ne-i:gr‘nh-h, ‘wireless i)pemgr; An- ® carpenter; Ivar Iverson, ‘boatswain’s ‘s mate; Unguz Prinze, Jen rmaste! quarte: Schri} donkey man; Thomas Connor, Juri Lel, and Arthur Brantik, able seamen: Antony Cor- dones and Bennett Rother, and Frank Wedekind, mess room steward. The survivors suffered terribly dur- ing forty hours’ exposure in an open boet. Their exhaustion was so great that it was impossible to obtain a coherent story from them for several hours after they were picied up. The Columbian caught fire night when about 300 Cape Race. A series plosions occurred Captain McDonald gave orders to the wireless r, James Dro- han, to send out calls for assistance, but one of the explosions put the wire- less apparatus out of commission, cut- ting off the Columbian from commu- nication with nearby ocean liners which might have gone to the rescue. With the wessel b flames and torn by the explosions, it soon be- came evident that the crew could do nothing to centrol the fire and the or- der to abandon the ship was given. The men left the Columblan in two boats. Chief Steward Matthews was in charge of the first. This boat put away from the steamer and lay-to for a time, but in the dense smoke which sarrounded the burning vessel the other boat was not visible and the steward’s boat finally drifted far from their sufferings during the fo hours in which they were tossed lbl:ltl{ and of the death of Chief ‘Steward Matthews during this time, the men icould say lttle when they were onto the decks of the Fran Food and ‘wers saw to it that they were first given the required rest.

Until the receipt of the radiogram from the Franconia late today, nothing had been learned as to the name of the vessel of to the fate of her crew. Last direet word from the burning vessel had been a mysterious message saying, “We are on fire. Hurry up.” t was believed tonight that it was message which Operator Drohan was flashing out when his apparatus wag smashed by an explosion.
