candor to say that It's diplomatic rela-
tions with Mexico being for the pres
ent severed, 1t is not possible for 1t
to make sure of an uninterrupted op-
portunity to carry out the plan of In
termediation which you propose. 1t
is. of course, possible that some act
of aggression on the part of those who
control the military forces of Mexico
might oblige the United States to act
to the upsetting OF the hopes of imme-
diate peace, but this does not Justify
us in hesitating to accept your gen
erous suggestion.
1--WE shall hope for the best results
within brief time, enough to relieve
our anxiety lest most ill-considered
hostile demonstrations should inter
rupt negotiations and disappoint our
hopes of peace"
The text of the offer made by the
three countries was:
"Mr. Secretary of State:
with the purpose of subscribing the
interest of peace and civilization in all
our continent and with the earnest de-
sire to prevent any further bloodshed
to the prejudice of the cordiality and
union which have always surrounded
the relations of the governments and
the people of America we the plenipo-
tentaries of Brazil Argentina and
Chile, duly authorized hereto, have the
honor to tender your excellency's gov
ernment our good offices for the
peaceful and friendly settlement of
the conflict between the United
States and Mexico.
'This offer puts in due form the
suggestions which we have had occa-
sion to refer heretofore on this sub
ject to the secretary to whom we re-
new the assurances of our highest and
most distinguished consideration.

HUERTA UNDERGOING
NATURAL OECAY..W|LSON

Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 26.-The
President today characterized as
interesting fiction" the published
reports that orders were sent to Rear
Admiral Fletcher to land marines at
Vera Cruz and keep an open road TO
Mexico City in case the Huerta ad-
ministration collapsed.
From the White House viewpoint
the Huerta administration is under
going natural decay" There is no
particular development in the Mexi-
can or any other foreign question,
the President explained which had
compelled him to call conference
of the foreign relations. committee
tonight.
The general consultation of for
eign affairs was the reason given for
the meeting of the president and
making ii plain that he had tried to
keep in touch with the committee
and he would now give a rather sys-
tematic attention to the foreign re-
lations.
1t was learned incidentally that
the question OF new treaty with
Russia had not been broached by
either country and that the subject
could probably await the arrival at
st. Petersburg OF the new American
ambassador. Ii is expected the pres
ident would talk 1t over with the
senators of the Japanese alien land
controversy and the unratified arbi-
tration treaties.
