The plans have been completed and the mediators, are signing, within a day or two, all the protocols in the peace plan which relate to international differences between the United States and Mexico, except the plank giving the composition and personnel of the new Provisional Government.

Persistent reports of sniping by Mexican Federals on the American outposty at Vera Gruz, and rumors of a further advance by the Constitutionalists towards Mexico City, have stirred interests in the Mexican situation.

The War Department will not make public the report by General Funston regarding sniping, though it is known there has been an investigation, and there are continued reports to that effect. There are many inferences to show that Huerta's forces are attempting to provoke a fight with the American troops, in order to force intervention.
