Silllman on the Way.
While the Parka case hasumed threat-

block In the path of mediation was re-
moved. That was the report of the Brit-
ish embassy from Sir I«ionel Carde in
Mexico City stating John R. Silllman, the
American vice consul, over whose safety
there had been grave f^ ars. was on his
way from Sa'tillo to Mexico City. There,
it was assumed, he would be turned

.(International News Bervlce.)
WASHINGTON, May 16.—'These sig-
nificant developments occurred In the
Mexican crisis today:
1. The state department Indi-
cated that It will make no terms
with Huerta—In other worda, no
"conditional" retirement will tw
acceptable to the United Statea.
2. The state department aald
also that the action of the British
admiral, Sir Christopher Cradock,
and his entire Btaff in making a
formal call on the constitutional-
ist general, Gonzales, may be re-
garded as recognition by Great
Britatln of the belligerency of the
constitutionalists. A similar atep
on the part of the United Statea
is expected In a few daya.
3. The failure of Huerta to ex-
plain the fate of Consul Silllman,
Correspondent Doster and Private
Parka, has brought about a situ-
ation ao acute that orders for the
embarkation of mote troops at
Galveston for Vera Cruz are ex-
pected at any moment.
4. The feeling In Washington
Is strong today that the president
is about to address a communica-
tion to congress on the subject.
Must Get Out.
The opinion of the administration
Is that Huerta Is In no position "to
dictate terms to anybody" He must
get out, and in getting out he must
sever his connection entirely with the
administration of Mexico's affaire.
The belief of the president and his
most capable advisers Is that Huerta
will hold on a little longer and thai
he has already made his arrangements
to leave Mexico.

an address upon the occasion of the

the offices and upon the streets of

At Avant the Hustler 1b vigorously
