With cumu lative evidence for several days In dicating that all 1 not wil! smith nf the Rio Grande, the war department today sent to General Funston. bor der commander, unofficial informa tlon about plans for a now Mexican uprlstng, alleged to fee maturing in the United States. The department information, con tained in private letters, declared that the conspiracy had reached a de finite stage. This word, forwarded for what It might be worth, was not regarded as entirely Improbable. Taken with reports to the state department that the new Carranza regime is tottering, the Information, it is thought, may mean that plotters within this conn- trr are olannlnir a conn. Cruas, and thus to embroil the United States in war. Whether there is any connection between the two alleged plots Is not known. While the death of General Huerta removed the backbone of an alleged uprising conspiracy, Justice department agents have not failed to keep their eyes on other men, who with the ex-dictator mlKht be Inter ested in overthrowing the present Mexican regime. According to the information, munitions to further the uprising al-' and New Orleans are said to be the principal points of rendezvous for the plotters, who Include many clentificos and a few Vllllstas. j !

T LUSITAN1A CASE (By United Tress Leased Wire.) Washington, Fob. 17. Further and apparently Interminable negotia tions over submarine warfare con fronted the United States government today with the Luaitanla settlement blocked, temporarily at least, and the diplomatic situation generally tangled. The administration will not accept the Lusltanla settlement now in its hands until the effect of the Teuton decree announcing Its Intention to attack armed enemy merchant vessols Is determined.
