PEACE CONFERENCE POSTPONED BY IS MEDIATORS "Washington, May 15. To give the Huerta delegates time to recuperate Irom their long journey, the South American mediators today postponed the opening of the Niagara Palls con ference until Wednesday. Speculation was caused by the announcement of the postponement, but it was explained Ly the Spanish ambassador who is acting for Huerta, that the delay was not significant politically. A strong note- of protest by the United States government to Huerta. tieclaring tiie reported execution of Private Parks, the orderly, who dis appeared, is a hostile act 1:1 view of the armistice at Vera Cruz, lent a sinister aspect to today's develop ments!. The refusal of Huerta to reply to repeated requests for information re Kard.ng Parks is resented, but the course the Americans will take was not Indicated. The Parks incident will ligure largely in mediation conference. General Funston reported that Parks was in uniform when he entered the J.Iexican lines, and should be held as a prisoner of war and not executed as a spy. The reported burninsr of the t ody is held by the I'nited States to be contrary to the rules of civilized war fare. The Lobos island incident was cleared up it was announced. Huerta las been Informed the Mexicans are free to return to the light house. Six South Americans reported ai rested as rnipers at Vera Cruz, proved to be Mexicans.

Veen held by the Mexicans Mexico City yesterday. left for INTEREST CENTERS ON THE REcSELS WHO CONTROL TAMPICO Washington, May 15. While two of the South American envoys were on their way today to Niagara Falls, where they will complete arrange mennts for peace negotiations and with the third mediator and the American mission preparing to leave here tomorrow, immediate interest in the Mexican situation centered in the Constitutionalists' administration of their new rrize the port of Tampico and plans for their campaign against Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. Reports to the navy department early today from Rear Admiral Mayo stated that General Gonzales, the Car ranza commander at TampL-o, had as sured United States Consul Miller that complete protection would be given to American and other foreign property about the seaport, including the immense- oil interests there. News that the federal mission was speeding northward today from Key Wft relieved all anxiety over the possibility that the Mexican delegates would not reach Niagara Falls in time for the beginning of the conference. First Intimations of the scope of their authority were rcveale-d in a statement by Senor Rodriguez, spokes man for the party, who declared: "We have full power to act; we car ry no formula, and we shall decide according to our consciences, always bearing In mind the national honor." That applied, however, to issues be tween the Huerta government and the United States. The Mexican dele- J rates. Sf nor Rodriguez said, would 1 deal only with external issues of the j situation because of the attitude of Carranza that an attempt to compose 'nternal affairs in Mexico would he bevond the bounds of diplomatic ac tivity. Details of the final assault on Tara pico, after months of siege. which came through slowly today, indicated that reinforcements of artillery en ' bled General Gonzales to drive the Federal arunboats from their positions, 'hen under cover of fir 8 ? from the larsre guns, the Constitutionalists charged into the town, the conflict ending with desperate fiarhTir.g in the- ; plaza. Eightnig interrupted w'reless j f ommunication between Rear Admiral j Mayo at Tampico and the fleet at Vera Cruz and delayed detailed reports of I the end of the siege. News that I reached northern points by fn over land wire stated General Gonzales mentioned a "bloody engagement." The fate of the Federals who fled from Tompieo was in doubt today. In some quarters belief was expressed that thev wouold be cut to pieces by intercepting Constitutionalistsi long before they could reach th-dr own l'nes south of San Luis Potosi. Fears that thev might attempt reprisals by setting tire to the huge oil tanks in land fro mthe port were not realized. Evidently they were moving hurriedly in the hope of reaching a haven. Order rapidly is Veing restored in Tampico. reports today indicate, and Pear Admiral Mavo with the Des ! Moines and Dolnhin has resumed a nosition in the river in front of the ! town. It was known that practically all foreigners had left Tampion before its evacuation by the Federals and no reports of damage to foreign prop erty in the tinal fighting had been re ceived. With practically all Northern Mex ico in control of the Constitutionalists, plans for their next movement excited much Interest today. Villa was pre paring to lead the assault against Sal tillo. Constitutionalist strategists were believed to have ft cured that if Secretary C.arri- ! they took Sa'.Cllo the Federal garri revealed that the ! Son there would concentrate at San shipment ot Lxiis Potosi, leaving that city as one is merely a 1 cf the roir.'s where Huerta would order.

TEN KILLED Ai DTIM ill Direct Cause of Catastraphe In Detroit May Xever be Known, But Report Was That Gasoline Was Re sponsible for the Accident BY ASSOCIATKO PRESS. Detroit. Mich.. May 1T. Ten men were killed, two other bodies were said to be still buried in the wreckage, another man was dying and three more were thought to be fatally in jured, as the result of an explosion which wrecked the plant of the Mexi can Crude Rubber Company in the western part of the city today. The direct cause of the explosion m;y never be known. It was reported gas oline was re.-iponsible for the aeident. Latef it was said sulphuric acid prob ably wa. the cause. The coroner shared the later opinion and said he based his belief on the statements of others who were acquainted with the processes of rubber manufacturing used in the plant. Ii was believed the explosion oc curred in a department where the molten rubber was being prepared. There were several wo.kmen in this department but as far as could be learned this afternoon none escap-H. The officials of the company refused to give out any statement. Most of the victims were skilled mechanics. One body was blown through the building. Three others were burned beyond recognition. Three men were removed to a hospital and physicians said they did not ex pect they would survive. Dozens of windows in buildings near the rubber company's plant were shattered. Several causes for the explosion were assigned, but survivors said a vat containing a large quantity of t molten rubber exploded. Oilieials of the company oeclined to issue a state ment until they had conducted an in vestigation. The plant, a on-story eoncrete building in West Detroit, was destroyed. Plying debris riddled ad joining buildings and concrete Mocks weighing several pounds were found more than two blocks from the scene of the explosion. The factory of a motor car eompanv about 1S00 fee; from the rubber con- i cern was nao'.y uamagea. .mhiovu in the building, however, was seriously hurt. The explosion wa witnessed by scores of pedestrians and narrow es capes were many. One man told the police he heard a roar; the factory seemed to split into thee huge pieces, two of vvhi -h 'melted away." The third, he s.tid. Fhot high into the air and broke into fragments. None of the first five bodies re moved from the debris was identified before being taken to the morgue. Several hoi-rs after the accident all of the employes could not be ac counted for. and this led to reports that possibly fourteen had been killed. Officials of the company thought, how ever, that some of the missing men would be located at their homes. YOUTH KILLED THREE PERSONS BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Chicago. May 15.

One of the cabin :t members said confidence in mediation was growing stronger each day ar.d that the possibility of war was dimin ishing rapidly. He spoke of the Tarn pico victory by the Constitutionalists as likely to have an indirect e.Tect on the mediation, in that it rtdi.-.ed the Huerta government's strength to op pose plans which might suggest for the pacification of Mexico. The shipment of arms into Tamvico from foreign ports other than the I'nited States was not discussed, 'out I one of the cabinet officers in close touch with Mexican aftairs said tie did not believe the American govern ment would attempt to interfere with foreign shipments.
