He received information that Federal troops were moving artillery from Mexico City toward Vera Cruz, probably for Genere! Maaa at Soledad.

General Funston immediately conferred with the officers of the fleet, and it was decided to land several field pieces from the wartrnps and place on the, custom? wharf, where they will be available on quicx notice.

General Venustiano Carranza has been eliminated from the mediation conference, three delegates to which were named by Gen? eral Huerta. The mediators withdrew their invitation to participate after the first chief of the Constitutionalists had refused to agree to an armistice. Rebels warned Admiral Mayo that if he attempted to bring his ships nearer to Tampico they would unloose and ignite the oil in th? reservoirs, burning the city. General Funston is strengthening his position at Vera Cruz to repel an expected attack by the Mexican forces. He has arranged to land ricid pieces from the warships and park them on the customs wharf.

Federal troops are moving artillery from Mexico City tow? ard Vera John R. Silliman. acting American Consul at San Luis has been imprisoned by General Maas. Federal commander, for eleven'days. Every night he has been threatened execution.

The army and navy are preparing for a break in the mediation proceedings. Definite plans to take Tampico have been made by the navy. Montreal apparently will be the seat of the peace conference. A Mexico City paper, announcing Huertas appointment of his envoys, said they would go to the Canadian city. A general advance on the city of Saltillo was o-dered by Gen? eral Villa, but was repulsed.

A movement for the capture of the city of Zacatecas began. General Jos? Refugio Velasco. who the 1 ederal force driven from by Villa's forces, is said to be planning a revolt against Huerta. Other Federal officers are reported to be fo? menting rebellion. CARRANZA WILL NOT SHARE IN MEDIA TION CONFERENCE Frnm Th? Tribun?
