Washington, D. c, April 26-Hope for peace-yet no
in preparations for war-was the spirit of to-
days developments in the Mexican crisis.
President Wilson, hopeful, though not confident, that
war may be averted through the efforts of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile, conferred with Secretary Garrison, ap-
proving orders for the joint jurisdiction of the army and
navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity when Brigadier-G General
Funston, who will be in command there, arrives tomorrow
to reinforce Admiral Fletcher's forces.
Tension Is Relieved.
Tension over the one phase Of the situation which
may at any moment upset peace plans-the safety Of
americans in Mexico City and other interior points-was
partially relieved by the announcement of Secretary Bry-
An that, through the British Embassy here, the Huerta
officials and Admiral Fletcher had arranged for the safe
departure of Americans from the Mexican capital and the
free exodus of Americans from Vera Cruz.

While the beginning of peace par

Department activities in planning for

yet it did ntroduc a hopeful feeling
into the situation. Administration
officials themselves feared Huerta
would not listen to peace proposals
now, but there was a unanimity Of
feeling that the period of negotiations
would be a life saver for Americans
trying to reach points Of safety.
incidentally, the proffer by Brazil
Argentina and Chile, of their good Of
fees and its prompt acceptance by the
United States are regarded, in official
and diplomatic circles, as notice To
| the world that nations of this hemlS-
phere stand for the settlement OF
American questions by Americans.
L.atin-AmeriCan diplomatistS look
on the mediation proceedings as Of

publicS acted in sincere good VIII o

Thomas B. Hohler, first secre-

Mexico City, taking a trainload of
MexicanS from Vera Cruz to Mex
leo City, informed General Huerta
that the American forces were not
restraining MexicanS from leav-

Americans consequently would be
allowed to leave the capital as
they pleased. Admiral Fletcher's
declaration of martial law at Vera
Cruz was approved by officials
here, who realize his difficulties
with houSe-top SharpShooters and

IRENE measures will be taken to
enforce order in Vera Cruz no
further steps of aggression will be
taken while peace plans are being
