Vera Cruz, Mexico. April 2j.-Ad-
miral Fletcher has issued orders that
anyone found with weapons tonight
shall be shot Immediately. All arms
in the city wherever found, except IN
the hands of American troops, are to
be cOnfiscated.
Two hundred more Americans, who
escaped from Mexico city by ruse
arrived here on the train at 2 O'CLOCK
this afternoon.
They said that all Americans had
been forbidden to leave by orders OF
Huerta. They were enabled to get
away by declaring themselves to be
either English or German. None VINO
were known to be Americans were
permitted to come. The refugee
tran consisted of ten cars ana
brought 60 Opassengers. A majority
of the remaining 400 on the train
who were not Americans were Ger
mans who had been directed to leave
Mexico City by the German ambas-
sador.

announcement from the white
house that Chile Brazil and the
Argentine republic had offered to
mediate between Mexico and the

The announcement came as
complete surprise following the
development Of plans in congress
to have Il committee of leaders
call upon President Wilson for
N;0re definite plan and policy with
reference to Mexico. =
Late in the afternoon it was an
nouncei that a statement dealing
with the Mexican situation would be
issued from the white house at =
O'Clock. 1t was then announced that
the statement would be issued at
$50. Meanwhile hurry call was

ed that the members of the foreign
relations committee be called in.
Attempt Futile
Washington is divided tonight on
effectiveness of the meditation plans.
1t is generally conceded that having
been made, the mediation proposal
could not very we'll be rejected. but
at the same time the concensus OF
opinion is that the attempt will be
futile.
The proposals will have to be &C
cepted by Huerta and will also have
to be sanctioned by Villa and Car
rama to be of value in the pasiflca-
ton of Mexico, and in allaying the
war crisis. Whether or not Huerta
will accept the proposal depends en-
tirely on their terms.
