MEDIATION PLAN
 GOES FORWARD Carranza Officially Notifies Mediators of Acceptance
 of Offer. OIL INTERESTS WORK Pressure Being Brought to Bear to Protect Foreign Interests at TampicO-Pensacola Wants
 to Be Rendezvous.
OIL INTERESTS WORK

Washington, April 29.-The white house said tonight that General Car ranza, first chief of the constitu- tionalist forces in Mexico, had ac- cepted "the principle of mediation with a desire to confer" This com pletes the tri-party agreement to the proposal of Chile, Argentine and Bra gil to mediate the Mexican crisis and paves the way for international nego- tiationS.
 Despite this cheering news it was admitted here tonight that two al most insurmountable obstacles face the mediators. One of these is the paramount necessity of securing a triangular if not tri-party agree ment between the United States, Huerta and the constitutionalists, to preserve an armed truce and the status quo," while negotiations are going forward. Exclusive announce ment of this mediatory course was published by the International News Service this morning and confirmed by Secretary of State Bryan late this afternoon.
 Thesecond stumbling block is the foreshadowed determination on the part of Huerta to refuse proposals predicated on his surrender of the Mexican government. That this de- mand will be made by President Will son Is a settled conclusion here.
 Great Britain and other nations with heavy financial interests in Mexico are known tonight to be bringing enormous pressure to bear upon Gen. erar Huerta to step down from the provisional presidency. At the same time Great Britain Is. understood to be urging President Wilson to recon slider and perhaps ameliorate his de mands, if the dictator proves so obsti- nate as to endanger negotiations.
