conferred about tho reply, and It was
transmitted 20 tho diplomats Mt the
state Department just rs tho Pres'-
dent began his conference at the White
House with the leading Democratic ana
Republican members of the Congress
sional committees in charge OF foreign
affairs.
The feature Of the plan which some
OF the Presidents visitors praised espe-
cially was the fact that tho United
States was joining hands In this mat
ter with nations OF this hemisphere
and so was emphasizing Pan-American
solidarity. They held that the action
would show TO all Latin America that
the intentions OF the American govern
ment were toward peace.
Representative Julius Kahn. ranking
minority member OF the Military Az
fairs Committee, expressed satisfaction
tonight over the decision or the ad-
ministration to submit 10 the kindly
offices Of Brazil, Chill and Argentina
the task Of attempting to restore peace.
Last September Mr.. Kahn suggested
the calling In Of other American rcpub-
lies. On February 20 he delivered
speech in the House deprecating pol
icy OF deadly drifting" or "watchful
waiting" and asserting that the
friendly alliance OF the three nations
mentioned might be sought to ad-
vantage. At the famous Cardiac dim
ner, early in the year. he advocated the
substitution OF mediation for 'watchful
waiting" He took much pride tonight
in his earlier suggestion OF the course
adopted by the administration.
The Costa Rican envoy. Joaquin
Calvo, ranking minister OF the diplo-
matio corps. and DR. Alberto Men,
brano. minister from Honduras, Joined
the three South American plenipoten-
tiaries while they were comforting on
their plans for mediation.
Presently other South and Central
American diplomats were called in for
general discussion. These included
lgnacio Calderon. Minister OF Bolivia;
Federico Alfonso Pezet. Minister OF
Peru; Eusebio Morales. Minister OF
Panama, and Manuel de la Vega Cal
deron, Charge d'Affaires OF Cuba.
The three South American ENJOYS
who proposed the INTERPRETATION to the
United States laid before their confer
rees the notes that had passed between
them and the American government.
They explained their plans as far as
they have developed. and a discussion
OF the matter ensued.
1t was decided nothing further could
be done here until some reply was re-
ceived by the Spanish Ambassador
from Mexico City as to the attitude of
General Huerta toward their proposals.
When this is received the Latin Amer
lean diplomatic corps probably will be
consulted as TO further steps.

Aa has been said, the only feature
~ the acceptance OF the United States
which causes anxiety Is the reference

IL is realized that Huerta may refuse

On the other hand, IL Is suggested oy
diplomatic students OF the situation
that the United States would stultify
itself and put itself equally In the

the issue by insisting that the claims
OF the Constitutionalists or the iegiti-
macy OF Huerta's incumbency be made
a part Of the negotiations. To this ex-
tent IL is suggested the administration
has assumed position from which IL
cannot gracefully retire.
Earnest hope is expressed by wen
wishers Of the United States in the
Diplomatic corps that the acceptance
Of the mediation Of Argentina. Brazil
and Chill will result in such substan-
tial apology as this country is entitled

troubles without further friction be-

Opportunity for Huerta.

In some quarters the suggestion is
made that the acceptance by the
United States Of the proffered media
ton actually affords Huerta further
opportunity OF compelling the respect
of all civilized nations by acquiescing
in the proposals made 10 him by the
American republics. In other quarters,
however, il is contended that because
the mediating nations have not thus
far recognized Huerta they can be
counted on to inject into the so-called
conflict the question OF Huerta's
elimination, in which event IL seems TO
be generally agreed that Huerta would
promptly and emphatically reject the
proposed mediation.
Any turn in events following the ac-
ceptance by this nation Of the proposed
mediation which would exclude the
status OF the de facto President of
Mexico and fail 10 promote the cause
of the Carranza- Villa element would,
it is known, constitute heartbreaking
disappointment TO Secretary Bryan and
his chief lieutenant, Ex-Governor Lind,
and might easily develop into fur
Their occasion Of serious friction in the
Cabinet, as it is intimated in high
quarter that the President himself
would not be averse to the limitation
Of the proposed mediation to the flag
incident and the required reparation
therefor.
Coincidentally with the acceptance of
the offer of mediation administration
officials announced there would be no
cessation Of preparations by the army
and navy for future emergencies, and
no orders would be issued to the naval
forces now at Vera Cruz or the ships
at sea changing original plans. No
further steps, however, to secure rep
aration for the indignities which gave
rise to the present situation will be at
tempted while the effort IS being madc
TO bring about a settlement through
diplomacy.
Notification Of the offer of intermedi-
alton was sent not only TO the diplo-
matte representatives Of Argentina,
Brazil and Chill in Mexico City, but to
Venustiano Carranza and the Consti-
tutionalists in Northern Mexico.
President Wilson summoned Senator's
Stone, Shively and Lodge. Of the For
eign Relations Committee, and Chair
nan Flood and Representative Cooper.
the Committee on Foreign Affairs
the lower house, to discuss the turn
events.
y 1t is said that it developed at this
conference that while the President
was not sanguine Of the success of the
mediation plan, yet he felt it to be the
duty Of the government to avail itself
OF the offer Of the three great South
American countries. 1t was suggested
that the interim of negotiations, sven
though the work might be unsuccess-
ful, might serve to repress anti-Ameri-
can outbursts and afford an opportu-
nifty for Americans to depart from
Mexico.
the President had the subject under
consideration most Of the day with
Secretary Bryan and other members
Oh the Cabinet. The matter had been
informally discussed by the three Dip
iomats among themselves, and the
