The reply of the President, made
through the Secretary Of State to the
diplomatic representatives, was as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Government Of the United
States is deeply sensible Of the friend
illness, the good feeling and the gen
erous concern for the peace and vel
fare of America manifested in the
joint note just received from your Ex-
cellency rendering the good Offices of
your Government to effect, is possible,
settlement of the present difficulty
between the Government of the United
States and those who now claim to rep
resent our sister Republic of Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made, this Gov
eminent does not feel at liberty to
decline it. It's chief interest is in the
peace Of America, the cordial inter
course of her republic and their peo-
pie and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understandings and the friend
ship which is created by common pur-
pose.
'The generous offer Of your govern
ments is therefore accepted.
This Government hopes most
earnestly that you may find those who
speak for the several elements of the
Mexican people willing and ready to
discuss terms of satisfactory and,
therefore, permanent settlement. If
you should find them willing, this
Government will be glad to take up
with you for discussion in the frank
est and most conciliatory spirit any
proposals that may be authoritatively
formulated and will hope that they
may prove feasible and prophetic of a
new day of mutual cooperation and
confidence in America.

the disaster was due to a dust ex-

Eleven bodies have been recovered

Orders Federal Troops to Put Down
Riotlns and Maintain Order.
Washington, D. c. President Will
son extended the protecting arm of the
federal government to the State Of
Colorado. Torn asunder by riots and
pitched battles between strikebreak-
ers and striking miners, Governor Am
mons found the State militia unable to
cope with the situation and asked fol
help. The Colorado delegation in Con-
gress, the mineowners and the miners
themselves joined in the request.
1t was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when a State
found itself impotent to assert it's au
thority, but the President, in a tele-
gram to the Colorado Governor, ex'
pressly stipulated that the federal
troops would confine themselves to
maintaining order only until the
State can reassert its authority and
resume the enforcement thereof"
The President issued proclama
ton ordering all persons engaged in
domestic violence to disperse and 're-
tire peaceably to their abodes." >" Sec

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son accepted the proposal Of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile that they be al
lowed to mediate between the United
States and Mexico for the purpose Of
ending the present conflict.
President Wilson made clear in his
acceptance that the United States
would be ready, while the attempt for
peace was being made, to quickly meet
any armed force which Huerta might
see fit to use, or punish Immediately
any killing Of American citizens in
Mexico.
Events in Mexico do not augur well
for the success of mediation, but the
President takes the position that the
United States can afford to take the
first step by showing its willingness to
do anything to prevent bloodshed,
while standing firm to the edict that
the insults to the American flag by
Huerta must be avenged.
During the move for peace the
United States will make no further
invasions of Mexican territory and will
hold to a tentative truce, unless forced
to the use of arms by Huerta.
No troops will be withdrawn, how
ever, and preparations for war will
continue. Orders to ships now pro-
ceeding south will not be changed and
officers of the Army and Navy, now
at the front, will be allowed to use
their own discretion in any situation
which may arise.
The mediators have several alterna-
tive plans They wish to get COM
plete apology from Huerta for insults
to the American flag at Tampico or to
eliminate Huerta from the situation
entirely, or to bring the Constitution
alists and Federals together and rees-
tablish constitutional government in
Mexico, which would likewise elimi-
nate Huerta.
Official Washington is skeptical Of
mediation proving successful.
The Offer OF Mediation and President
Wilson's Acceptance.
The offer made by the three coun'
tries is as follows:
''Mr. Secretary of State:
with the purpose of subscribing the
interest of peace and civilization in
our continent in all confidence and
with the earnest desire to prevent any
further bloodshed to the prejudice Of
the cordiality and union which have
always surrounded the relations Of the
governments and the people Of Amer
lea, We, the plenipotentiaries of Brazil,
Argentina and Chile, duly Authorized
hereto, have the honor to tender to
your Excellency's Government our
good offices for the peaceful and friend
ly settlement OF the conflict between
the United States and Mexico.
This offer puts in due form the
suggestions which we have had occa-
sion to offer heretofore on this subject
to the Secretary, to whom we renew
the assurances Of our highest and most
distinguished consideration.

good Offices to bring about an amicablo
settlement Of the difficulty between the
