Washington. April 27.-With reports
pouring in of anti-American demon
strations all over Mexico, including
one stating several Americans were
killed in Mexico City, President Will
son and Secretary Bryan Saturday ac-
cepted proffer of good offices" by
the representatives of Argentina, Bra
I'll and Chile, the Latin-America "A.
B. C. alliance" to bring about peace in
Mexico.
Conferences were held by the repre-
sentatives of these countries and other
South and Central American nations
to draft a plan of mediation.
While it is not known just what
form their proposals will take, it Is
understood the elimination OF Huerta
and ultimate restoration of normal
conditions in Mexico will be demanded
by Washington.
Text of Mediation Notes.
The text of the offer made by the
Brazilian ambassador and the minis
ters from Argentina and Chile. and the
reply of the American government,
was transmitted by Secretary Bryan
in person to the three diplomats, is as
follows:
"The government of the United
States is deeply sensible of the friend
illness. the good feeling and the gen.
uine concern for the peace and well
fare of America manifested in the
Joint note just received from your eX-
cellency rendering the good offices OF
your government to effect if possible
a settlement of the present diff
Guilty between the government of the
United States and those who now
claim to represent our sister republic
of Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made. this govern
ment does not feel at liberty to de
cline it. Its own chief interest is in the
peace of America. the cordial inter
course of her republic. and their peo-
Pile, and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understandings and the friend
ship which is created by common pur
pose. The generous offer of your gov
ernment is therefore accepted.
This government hopes most ear
nestly that you may find those who
speak for the several elements of the
Mexican people willing and ready to
discuss terms OF satisfactory, and,
