AnxIetx Is ReIIeved

Vera Cruz, April 29.-Anxiety in
Vera Cruz as to friends and relatives
in the interior has been greatly re-
lieved by the events Of yesterday,
which show that the Mexican authori-
ties are permitting Americans to come
down to the coast, Today the Ameri-
can colony here, which is growing
steadily, settled down to await news
from Puerto Mexico Of the arrival
Of three trainloads of refugees from
Mexico City, which the Huerta off
cials promised Commander Tweedie Of
the British cruiser Essex would be dis
BatchsaoftSns alEsseRpitai last night.
Tile route from the capitol to Puerto
Mexico Is long and round-about and il
is not expected that the trains will
reach the coast before next Friday
Rear Admiral Badger will have a ves-
sci at Puerto Mexico to meet the re-
rugees He probably win not send
warship, as this might arouse anti
American feeling in a town which up
tc the present time has been entirely
quiet. The passenger boats available
here for the trip to Puerto Mexico have
limited wireless equipment; conse-
quentiy the arrival Of the refugee
trains together with the names Of
those on board, may not be learned
until the steamer returns to Vera
Cruz.
It is estimated 800 people will be
conveyed to Puerto Mexico. It is i'm
possible in Vera Cruz to determine
how many Americans this would leave
in the capital.

known they have given no intimatiol
as to their probable instructions from

to mean that the state department re

ArmistIce Asked for

washington, April 29.-An armistice
in the differences between the United
States and Mexico has been asked. Of
this government and General Huerta
by the South American ENJOYS who
have undertaken to avert war through
mediation.
Ambassador Da CANA of Brazil to-
day notified Secretary Bryan that this
had been determined on as the next
step in the negotiations, and that Gen
eral Huerta also has been notified.
The proposal for an armistice was
communicated to President Wilson
fros2 the state department by tele-
phone. Though no announcement has
been made, it was authoritatively
learned that this government would
accept the conditions provided assur-
iances that in addition to halt in
military operations, there would be no
civil uprising against American cfti-
zens or other "untoward" Incidents
which might prevent peace.
After an hours conference today the
mediation enyoys. Mr. DaGama Mr..
Naon Of Argentina and Mr. suarez Of
Chile, determined that further nego-
tiations necessarily must proceed with
out warlike interference. and Ambas-
sador DaGama went to the state de-
partment to acquaint Secretary Bryan
Of the course thus far taken in the
peace plans. The Brazilian minister
in Mexico City also was notified, and
he communicated the information to
General IIuerta.
The comneanication, addressed to
both governments by the mediation
ENJOYS, formally requests each govern
ment to declare an armistice. It was
pointed out by OFFICIALS here that, in
all probability, the United States
would accept the proposal notwith-
standing the fact that this government
has not recognized that a state Oh
war exists in Mexico in 50 far as the
operations OF the United States are
concerned. Despite this fact it was
believed that the washington govern
ment would not put any barriers i
the path Of the progress Of mediation
principally at such an early stage o
the negotiations. Officials here als'
believed that General Huerta wouls
