 The United States has no objection to the request for an armlstice, for while the term usually implies a sus- pension of Aosti ities during a state of war-whjch the United States does not recognize as existing there has been decision by the Washington administration to permit no acts of aggression by the army or navy at Vera Cruz while the mediation was being carried on. In formulating aa agreement to suspend hostilities, the American government, however. will stipulate that Americans in interior points of Mexico must be afforded protection When asked about the armistlce, Secretary Bryans only comment was T assume there will be no hostliies during the process of mediation
 He was questioned as to whether Carranza had agreed to an armistice land he smiling ' answered.
 General Carranza hasn't accepted mediation as yet'
 At this time Carranza's answer had not been received and from the sec retarys remarks it was inferred that upon their acceptance of the media ton principle the proposal for an ar mistice would be extended to the Con | stitutioualist forces.
 Secretary Bryan conferred only with the Brazilian ambassador during the day and from him received the formal proposal for the armistice' The report that Europe was asked bS the envoys from Argentina, Brazil and 1 Chic to use it's influence with the United States to obtain the with drawal of the question of eliminating Huerta from the proposals of the | American government was met with the comment at the state department l tnHI the V AiktQ DNtNNo lit'N ''N'N mitted any terms on the main points involved.

Pitched Battle Between Strikers and Militia Re- suits in Death of Surgeon of the Troops and the Wounding of Several Members of the Colorado Guards.
Troops Endeavor to Disodge Miners Entrenched on Mountain Side and Are Compelled to Withdraw After Sharp Engagement Which Lasted for Five Hours

Walsenburg, Col, April 29-One dead and three wounded is the known casualty list in siXhour battle here today in which less than 100 militiamen attempted to dislodge au estimated force of 400 strikers en- trenched in the hills adjacent to the town. Firing stopped late today when the troops were withdrawn on orders, local officials say, received from Denver.
 The dead:
 Major F. P Lester, member hos pital corps WalsenburC.
 The wounded:
 Lieutenant Scott, shot in the head.
 Private Glen Miller. shot in the face.
 Private o. L. Wilmot shot in the leg.
 The firing was heavy when orders were received to withdraw and Major Lesters body was left on the field.
 A lone range of hills that runs along the north and cast side to the town was the scene of todays battle Fighting started when a detachment under Lieutenant Scott left the town limits and started to cross over a low rise of ground. Captain Swope and Lieutenant Morrison followed.
 For two hours the miitiamen sought to dislodge the strikers with out success, advancing by series of alternate rushes.
 Both details were returning the fire of the strikers with vigor when a courier from Colonel Verdeckberg recalled the troops.
 The retreat was made under as great difficulty as the advance and it was nearly o'clock before the troops reached town. The strikers are said to be still entrenched along the side of the low hill, which forms a natural fertilization. Reports are current that the strikers will make a final effort to take the town before the arrival of federal troops.
 Major Lester was in charge of the hospital corps. He had just com pleted dressing the wound received by Private Miller when he was shot down.
