WILSON ADMINISTRATION TO GIVE ALL AID POSSIBLE (Telegraph for Independent) Washington. Sept. 6.—This city is to be the scen-= of negotiations looking to the end of the bloody factional ivar in Mexico that was e.xactins thousands of lives, brousrht the United States and her southern neighbor to the verge of ¦war and caused damage amountins to hundreds of millions of dollars. i It was learned definitely today that the mission of Manuel Zamacona to this country is to bring about an armistice beweeh the contending factions. - This definite information was given out today by an official mIio declared that Senor Zamacona IS not only an envoy of general Huerta. but is also an agent of the Wilson administration. "I mean."' said this official, "that as both President Wilson and Gen. Huerta knew there could be no election without an armistice, the President is as much interested in the success of Zamacona as are all those in Me.xico who wish to make an end of this war. There is no doubt that Zamacona will be received with open arms' for the purpose of this mi.ssion. The way Avill be wide open to him to look after the finances of the republic of Mexico and incidentally, after fimd.s to put any uew Mexican government on its feet. HAS GREAT PERSONAL POWER. It is learned that Zamacona was chosen because he is and always has been a Maderista. Huerta has retained Zamacona because of the great personal powerthat statesman represents in Mexico and he has been selected principally hecau.se he is no straington so that from all points of diplomatic corps here. ' "There is no one who can approach the rebel leaders with less danger of a rehuflf than Zama¬ cona. The place to bring about an armistice is Washington. The headquarters of the opposition to Huerta are in this city and it is understood that from here the sinews of war are provided for this opposition. "The diplomacy of the constitutionalists is conducted at Washington so that from all poins of view and from the practical results the triangular negotiations of President Wilson. Gen. Huerta and Gen. Carranza would be be.st lield here," STATE DEPARTMENT ANXIOUS. Tlie State Department is particularly anxious for an armistice becau.se of the sittiation aris¬ ing from the civil -war. which has been waged in Mexico. ' The (Jepartment knows without question that Sonora, Chihuahua and Tabasco, three important states, are in the hands of the Mexican parties opposed to Hnerta and these parties are well rep¬ resented at Wa.shing1:on. The department officials admit that if an armistice can be brought about all the other ques¬ tions such as tbe non-oandidacy of Huerta, etc., are simply academic and have nothing to do with the main issue wliich has been increasing in virulence ever since the fail of Diaz. > The absolute necessity of an armistjee is driy^ftiiome bj^rfinliz^tion of the vast territory,, pver which the rebel.s! are running riot. The officials see there can beno peace and no effeetivenej^i in presidential messages unless Carranza consents to a truce and will abide by the election resultSi The department was advised today from IMonterey that up to August 2.t foreigners were not mistreated at Torren. The bulletin on this subject said: "Among the Americans arriving at Monterey and recently departed for the I'nited States are S. R. H. Kepner. Los Angeles; P. B. Lord. Dorchester, Mass.: Arthur P. Sharp, South Borough. Mas.s.; .Messrs. Carmen and Russell of the American S'^curities Co. Howard Potter has left for New York.

WILSON ADMINISTRATION TO GIVE ALL AID POSSIBLE
(Telegraph for Independent)
Washington. Sept. 6.—This city is to be the scen-= of negotiations looking to the end of the bloody factional ivar in Mexico that was e.xactins thousands of lives, brousrht the United States and her southern neighbor to the verge of ¦war and caused damage amountins to hundreds of millions of dollars. i
It was learned definitely today that the mission of Manuel Zamacona to this country is to bring about an armistice beweeh the contending factions. -
This definite information was given out today by an official mIio declared that Senor Zamacona IS not only an envoy of general Huerta. but is also an agent of the Wilson administration.
"I mean."' said this official, "that as both President Wilson and Gen. Huerta knew there could be no election without an armistice, the President is as much interested in the success of Zamacona as are all those in Me.xico who wish to make an end of this war. There is no doubt that Zamacona will be received with open arms' for the purpose of this mi.ssion. The way Avill be wide open to him to look after the finances of the republic of Mexico and incidentally, after fimd.s to put any uew Mexican government on its feet.
HAS GREAT PERSONAL POWER.
It is learned that Zamacona was chosen because he is and always has been a Maderista. Huerta has retained Zamacona because of the great personal powerthat statesman represents in Mexico and he has been selected principally hecau.se he is no straington so that from all points of diplomatic corps here. '
"There is no one who can approach the rebel leaders with less danger of a rehuflf than Zama¬ cona. The place to bring about an armistice is Washington. The headquarters of the opposition to Huerta are in this city and it is understood that from here the sinews of war are provided for this opposition.
"The diplomacy of the constitutionalists is conducted at Washington so that from all poins of view and from the practical results the triangular negotiations of President Wilson. Gen. Huerta and Gen. Carranza would be be.st lield here,"
STATE DEPARTMENT ANXIOUS.
Tlie State Department is particularly anxious for an armistice becau.se of the sittiation aris¬ ing from the civil -war. which has been waged in Mexico. '
The (Jepartment knows without question that Sonora, Chihuahua and Tabasco, three important states, are in the hands of the Mexican parties opposed to Hnerta and these parties are well rep¬ resented at Wa.shing1:on.
The department officials admit that if an armistice can be brought about all the other ques¬ tions such as tbe non-oandidacy of Huerta, etc., are simply academic and have nothing to do with the main issue wliich has been increasing in virulence ever since the fail of Diaz. >
The absolute necessity of an armistjee is driy^ftiiome bj^rfinliz^tion of the vast territory,, pver which the rebel.s! are running riot. The officials see there can beno peace and no effeetivenej^i in presidential messages unless Carranza consents to a truce and will abide by the election resultSi
The department was advised today from IMonterey that up to August 2.t foreigners were not mistreated at Torren. The bulletin on this subject said: "Among the Americans arriving at Monterey and recently departed for the I'nited States are S. R. H. Kepner. Los Angeles; P. B. Lord. Dorchester, Mass.: Arthur P. Sharp, South Borough. Mas.s.; .Messrs. Carmen and Russell of the American S'^curities Co. Howard Potter has left for New York.

More than 2.500 persons are home- I less as a rfsult of the fire and are j campine temporarily in the vicinity ' of the Oaklawn race track and State jf^ir ETounds. .Kt a mas!» meetinj? to¬ day a nation-wide appeal for aid was Issued and arrang:ements made for the care of the homeless.
Grand avenue, leading from the burned area to the fair grounds', to¬ day presented a picturesque sight. Hundred.'^ of families gathered along the roadway ¦with •what little they saved from their homes and ¦worked their way gradually to the camp.
Two hundred and fifty citizens ¦were sworn in today as special ofncers to aid In preserving order. Xo trouble hag been reported. Two companies of militia will be sent here by Gov, Hayes.
AU saloons have been closed. Workmen began' cleainng up the ' deliriB as soon aj5 they got cold. Plans for building up the burned sec¬ tion are already under ^ay.
The liffht and power company late today pro\ided emergency facilities for the newspapers and other Indus¬ tries. The city will be In darknes^ about a month.
Enraged at being refused permis¬ sion to board at the home of Afrs. Martha Verra on Xoble street. Xan- ticoke. Joe Klzo. last night, shot the woman. Two shots were fired at her but only one took effect. That struck her In the erm in the elbow r<»gion and is not considered serious, barring complications.

Xantlcoke po¬ lice took up the trail and traced him ;!.<" far as X'anticoke. where they lost all track of his movements, FeartngT that the woman miprht he seriously wounded she was removed to the Xanticoke State Hospital. A report from that institution a» 2 o'clock this morninsr was to the effect that her
.\ccording to the story told of the J ,-ondition was not f=erious and that
matter it appears that Kizo came t the Verra homo shortly before 10 o'clock la^t night and ask ¦ I f-r per mission to become a member of the ho'j.cehold. She havlner a number of other boarders at the place, she did not care to add to the number and so informed him. Then it was that
she would fullv recover.
At the time of going to press Klzo was not captur-'d. The local police were informed of the attempted mur- I der and furnished with a description j of the fugitive. .\1I patrolmen last I night were warned to be on the watch I for the man and the cars from ine the man drew his revolver and fired i town at the lower end of the ¦valley two shots at the woman. i were watched.
