UPRISING IN U, S
Washington, Feb. 17. 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

(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.
Germany may postpone operation
of this decree pending negotiations
over It.
Ambassador von Bernstorff was ex
pected today at the state department
to be told that written assurances
are wanted that the decree will not
apply to passenger liners armed tor
defensive purposes, and that the
government does not dare to proceed
with the Lusltanla settlement until
Germany's course toward merchant
ships la unequivocally defined.
