Announced That United States Will Not Embar- ras the Medators by Making Known De- mands--Have Not Demanded Elimination of Villa and Carranza, the Rebels

Washington, April 2S-The Mexican crisis now Is centerlng on the issue be- tween those who are seeking through the I good offices and lutermcdiation of Latin America to find some middle ground for pacific adjustment and those who regard
 resort to arms as an inevitable conse- quence of what has occurred Throughout today two distinct
 branches of activity were manifest here
 that of the envoys of Argentina. Bra gil and Chile in formulating d plan of adjustment to be submitted to the United
 States and the lIuerta regime. and that of the military and naval forces of the
 United States, which continue to go for ward steadily in preparation for any eventuality which may develop The ar- rival of General Funston and a brigade of five thousand troops at Vera Cruz was crc of the notable military developments
 cf the day.
 Chief interest was directed to the ses- ficns of the South American anyoys asung through the day ard late into the
 evening, where seated about a long ma hogany table the three envoys delib- elated much as an international court
 would weigh a case of supreme lmpor- tarce
 At the white house President Wilson and his cabinet advisers held a lengthy meeting, devoted chiefly however to the Colorado situation though the Moxlcar crisis continued in the foreground. To large extent however, it was felt that the Mexican situation was now before those who had undertaken to exercise their good offices and care was taken not to embarrass the efforts of the enyoys by any announcement of conditions or settlement which the United States would insist upon. A spirit of optimism over the progress of the negotiations | was apparent in executive quarters
 While the medators are not ready to | announce their plans or even to indicate | when a proposal might be complete for | presentation to the two parties, yet it |, became known that probably three or four days or even a longer time might | elapse before they would be ready to | take their next step
 Secretary Bryan was called upon by i ambassadors and ministers of European | as well as South American countries | Among the visitors was the French ann bassador. M Jusserand who expressed | 7 case of mediation With the exception | of the three south American countries, | nc power has taken any official action, though the European diplomats are doina | their utmost to further the cause of peace.
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British am bassador also was one of Secretary 1 rIyan's callers. his purpose being to rec port the results of the interview held yesterday in the Mexican capitol by Sir Lionel Garden British minister. with General Huerta Sir Lionel strongly im- pressed upon the general the opinion of ha own government that he should ac- csot promptly the good offices rendered by the three South American republics
 Ministers Naon and suarez of Argen- ;iua and Chile, respectively talked at ieretn with Mir Bryan late m the day. Ambassador DeGama hl1 seen The sec retary earlier. These conferences were of a wholly informal character. chiefly to obtain the viewpoint of the American government
 The three peacemakers are procerG nSl slowly and carefully, gathering all the information possible from various Amer ican and Mexican sources to the end of considering every element in the contro- versy. They are careful to make dis tiuction between their presen- cSol else of good offices and what may come later if the good offices advance to the stage of mediation They take the view that their work is one of far reaching effect, not only in the present controversy but affecting the continued peace of the western hemisphere through the united efforts of American nations north, south and central.
 The Argentine delegation. where tha sessions are being held is in the fash ionable residence section of the capital, far romevod from the departments which recently have been the scene of so much warlke preparations, Here, in the H. brary of the legation the three envoys are carrying on their deliberations.
