WASHINGTON, Nov. 1i.--Activo
cooperation OF Central American ma
tons IN the Wilson Administrations
plans to bring peace to Mexico Is ex-
pected here today, following secret
ly called conference last night Of
their diplomatic representative here
with Secretary Bryan in which he
lifted the lid and gave them full
statement Of what has been done by
the United States IN the Mexican
question.
Bryan told the Central American
diplomats that the peace Of the entire
western hemisphere ultimately might
depend upon the manner in which law
and order is restored In Mexico, re-
lated the administrations various
moves to that end and urged hearty
cooperation. Previous to this meet
Ing Bryan held a conference with
Senor Algara. charge OF the Mexican
embassy, and informed him that
Huerta can expect nothing at the
hands OF the Wilson administration
and that the new Mexican congress-
Will not be recognized, on the ground
that It was not legally elected.
Diplomatic pressure on Huerta, II
is said here, is becoming SO strong
that the administration expects
something to crack soon. It is he-.
lieved results from this angle will
4 force Huerta gradually to receds from
! his position and agree to cOmpro-
mise candfdats for praytsionaf presi-
dent, pending another national Mexi-
can election. This makes It probable
that the plan to allow the Mexican
constitutionalists to import arms
through the United States will be
shelved at least for the present
Although on the surface, no news
! OF favorable Developments in the
Mexican matter has been available
here, 1t Is a certainty that since last
Saturday the confidence Of peace
full solution OF the Huerta tangle haA
vastly increased.
1 The battleship Louisiana which has
been at Vera Cruz was today ordered
to proceed to Tuxpan, 145 miles north
west OF Vera Cruz. The American
consular agent at the Plano, a. G..
Payne, has reported revolutionary
force about to attack the town.
The Louisiana will protect foreign
interests In case of fighting there.
Secretary of State Bryan and Pres
Iident Wilson conferred on Mexican af-
fairs prior to today's regular cabinet
session. slsYpH Hsfss.s
Although the cabinet was in session
for more than two hours and 1t was
admitted Mexico was the chief topic
of discussion, nothing was made pub.

There is no change in the situA.
