ASSOCIATED PRESS DlSPATCHl
WASHINGTON, May 6. While the
Mexican situation was outwardly calm,
pending the formal opening of the con
ference of the South American medi
ators at Niagara Falls, Canada, on
May IS, there was a continued active
undercurrent of discussion and prepar
ation for peace plans. Definite reports
reached the constitutionalist headquar
ters here of sweeping victories near
San lads PotosJ and other points far
south of Saltillo, where it is thought
the next big battle will be fought.
News of the constitutionalist success
reached here in dispatches from Car
ranza to Rafael Zubaran, minister Of
the interior in the constitutionalist
cabinet. Carranza's message showed
three converging- campaigns in active
operation, each within three hundred
miles of Mexico City. General Obre
gon with 15,000 men. operating from
the Pacific coast side, captured all the
intervening territory, and heseiging
Mazatlan and threatening Mexico City
from the west. Another division. Car
man reported, fought a battle at Pen
zacos, near San Luis Potosi. The lat
ter is 300 miles from Mexico City and
Tampico. the southernmost point which
the constitutionalists have reached.
With the army now attacking Tampi
co, they assert a general advance on
the Mexican capital will be made with
in a few weeks from three sides.
General Funston was authorized to
extend his lines at Vera Cruz as might
be required tor defensive purposes,
without undertaking any aggressive
operations. Congress again came into
the Mexican situation, when a caustic
debate occurred in the senate over the
resolution of Senator Lippitt of Rhode
Island, asking the president for infor
mation regarding his reported support
of Villa for the next ruler of Mexico.
The resolution Was finally tabled by a
viva voce vote.
The resolution was not tabled, how
ever, until Senator Lippitt discussed
the reports of the administration's sup
port of Villainous Villa", the landing
at Vera Cruz and other incidents.
Senator Bradley declared the tolls
exemption repeal was to "purchase im
munity for a continuation of the
watchful waiting in Mexico."
Carranza's report of the desperate
conditions of the federals at Mazatian
were coincident with reports from Rear
Admiral Howard who stated land and
sea engagements carried on there yes
terday, the constitutionalists firing
from Piedra Island, while the federal
gunboat Morelos was supported by the
federals with shore batteries. Admiral
Radger stated sharp fighting oceurcrd
between the federals and constitution
alists between Vera Cruz and Tampico
and added that rumors had reached
him through Admiral Mayo that some
of Villa's forces intended to take and
burn the city of Tampico.
The mediators announced they would
proceed with their work without re
gard to the course of Carranza in com
ing or remaining out of the conferenc
es. They made no further overtures to
him and if he comes in, it will be vol
untary on his part.
In quarters outside the mediators,
however, pressure is being applied to
Carranza to bring him into the con
ference. It is believed to he the desire
of the United States that he participate
in order that the entire Mexican
trouble mav be brought within any
settlement secured.
At Vera Cruz the food supply is
again in danger of depletion. Oarrison
said today's reports from Funston
showed many people coming to Vera
Cruz from Mexico city and other large
towns and that because Vera Cruz is
already overcrowded the consumption
of food daily exceeds the amount
brought in The secretary said there
was abundant testimony from many
sources that the Inhabitants of Vera
Cruz are much pleased with the con
duct of the oficers who are administer
ing the civil government.

TRINIDAD, May 6. A program o"
disarmament of tho contending fac
tions, in the Southern Colorado strike
zone practically was announced by
.Major Holbrook in behalf of Col-
nel Lockett, commanding the Unit
ed States troops in the district. The
mine company officials were notified
that the disarming of their guards
will begin tomorrow, and they re
plied their men are ready to surren
der their arms as soon as they have
received actual physical protection
by the presence of federal troops.
Accordingly, detachments have
placed at Aguilar, Hastings, It?
l.igu.i. Tabasco, Berwind and Forbes
in Eas Animas county, and arrange
ments made for the dispatch of
tioops to other mine properties
throughout the state.
When the guns have been secured
from the guards, the commanding
of filers will issue a proclamation
calling upon the individual strikers,
and citizens of Trinidad to deliver
their weapons.. Then the police and
county officers will be disarmed,
leaving no weapons in the posses
sion of persons not in the direct
service of the Cnited States.
William Diamond, a union leader,
speaking to a mass meeting of
strikers at Starkville, attended by
:i". declared a shipment of 300 high
power rifles and 60,000 rounds of
ammunition enroute from New York
to the Cnited Mine Workers of
America will be turned over to the
federal troops upon the arrival of
the consignment.
The strikers themselves, neither at
Starkville nor at the San Rafael
camp, where a mass meeting of 200
strikers also was held, gave any in
dication of their intentions to give
up their arms.
Major Holbrook. who addressed
both meetings, declared plainly it is
his belief that the strikers already
concealed some ot their wea

citizens to procure them and bring
them later to a place to he indi
cated as a depository for them.
