est diplomatic combination in the his
tory of this continent was today try
ing to bring order out of chaos in
Mexico. Practically all Latin-America
was united to force an agreement
which would restore order south of
the Rio Grande, and again Huerta,
the dictator, was. the central figure.
On what he does during the next 48
hours will depend whether the army
of the United States will occupy Mex
leo or whether Badger and his men
will be ordered to bring their war
craft north; Funston to return to Gal
weston and the general mobilization
on the border be called off.
Despite the apparently irreconcil-
able difficulties between the United
States and Mexico, President Wilson
and his secretary of state we're hope
full They profess. to believe that
Huerta having agreed with the Unit
ed States to accept the good Offices
of the A. B. c. confederacy of nations
he indicates that he is looking for
peaceful way out of the situation. On
what they base this belief neither the
president nor the secretary will say.
While officially there has been no
suggestion from either side regarding
its position, but only an acceptance of
a proposal to mediate, the chasm be-
tween the two administration is best
shown by simple statement of the
unofficial conditions know to have
been. laid down.
Just how these demands are to be
reeonciled and from them a plan
worked out which will be acceptable
to both sides. no one here seemed
to know today. Even the representa-
tives of Argentine, Brazil and Chile
admitted their task was herculean,
But they seemed to believe that they
would be more successful in dealing
with Huerta than the United States
has been.

AMERICAN REFUGEES ARE ATTACKED WHILE
MEDIATION DEAL IS ON


ers on both sides had accepted the
statement of the president that there
would be no compromising of the
national honor in the proceedings
which have been initiated. Yet there
was a grave fear uttered by many
leaders that if the United States
finally submitted the entire settle
ment of the situation to mediators
who are admittedly prejudiced
against the United States this govern
ment might be forced to make con-
cessions which would not receive the
approval of the people of the country.
The very fact that our national forces
have been in battle and that men
have been killed has added to the Bit
ter feeling against Mexico and to the
agitation for a complete settlement
at this time even though it should
require the armed forces of the ma
ton to show that this country cannot
be wantonly insulted.
Washington, April 27.-It is declar-
ed that President Huerta has tenta-
lively dCC6pIOu Lie OuST VI ATS6u-
tina, Brazil and Chile to use their
good offices to bring about settlement
of the difficulty between Mexico and
the u. S. This will probably bring
about the cessation of all .hostiities
pending mediation proceedings.
U. S. acceptance of arbitration Of
fer by three southern countries was
coupled with statement that some act
of aggression on part of those in con-
troll of military forces of Mexico
might force government to act
promptly and withdraw this accept
ance.
Replying to offer Of the three
southern countries to arbitrate diff
ference between this country and
Mexico, Pres. Wilson said: eff you,

reasons for some further develop

That the president is giving >eri-

arm, is evident from the daily re-
ports to the Washington govern
ment of the disadvantage to which
the Conotitutionaliste have been put
by the cmnarGo on arms.
The latter have argued that what
ever might be the sympathies OF the
United States toward the Mexican
factions. they have by forbidding eN-
portation of arms into McNico, help

The CHIEF argument placed before
President Wilson i, that the iluerta

discussed that phase OF the Mexican

1t was stated today on the author
lty OF senator who attended, that
during a general talk those who fav-
Ored raising the embargo on arms
expressed the view that the Huerta
government was able to procure
ammunition with ease from abroad
They did not contend that the Jap
ane-e government was directly con-
cerned but declared that ammuni-
ton had been bought OF Japanese
commercial houses. The subjeCc
was discussed incidentally in con-
nection with the agreement that the
