President Wilson's Reply.
The reply OF the president, made
through the secretary of state, to the
diplomatic representatives, was as fol.
lows:

Gus concern for the peace and welfare

note just received, rendering the good

If possible, a settlement of the pres
ent difficulty between the government
Of the United States and those who
now claim to represent our sister re-
public Of Mexico. Conscious Of the
purpose with which the offer is made,
this government does not feel at liber-
ty to decline it.
ats own chief interest is in the
peace of America, the cordial inter
course of her republic and their people
and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understanding and the friend

you should find them willing, this gov.

you for discussion in the frankest and
most concilatory spirit any proposals
that may be authoritatively formulat-
ed, and will hope that they may prove
feasible and prophetic of a new day
of mutual cooperation and confidence
in America.

Gen. Huerta's Acceptance
Spanish Ambassador Riano a1nou-c-
ed late Sunday that he had received
private advices from Mexico City stat
ing that General Huerta had accept
ed the offer of Argentine. Brazil and
Chile to Use their good offices to
bring about an amicable settlement
of the difficulty between the United
States and Mexico.
The interests of the Huerta govern
ment in the United States were taken
over by the Spanish embassy, when
Charge Algara left Washington. An.
bassador Riano received the offer Of
good offices from the three peace eE-
Toys after the offer had been accepted
by President Wilson. It was cabled
Immediately to the Spanish minister
at Mexico City and by him presented
to President Huerta-
Details Of Plan Not Announced.
When formal acceptance from Me H.
co City is in hand the South American
diplomats will be ready to proceei /
with their plan, no intimation Of the
nature of which as yet has been given
1t generally has been understood here,
however, that the peace ENJOYS expect
to deal directly with the situation Gre
ated by the Tampico incident and
other offenses against the honor and
dignity of the United States, hoping
to bring about peaceful settlement.
Administration officials appeared to
be much gratified at the prospect Of
having the proposals Of the great
South American republics listened 10
by General Huerta.
Hope for peace-yet no Stacking IN
preparations for warts the spirit of
latest developments in the Mexican
crisis. President Wilson, hopeful
though not confident that war may he
averted through the efforts of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile, conferred with
Secretary Garrison, approving orders
for the Joint Jurisdiction Of the army
and navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity
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
Bryan that, through the British en-
bassy, the Huerta officials and Admi-
raj Fletcher had arranged for the safe
departure of Americans from the Mexi-
can capital and the free exodus uf
Mexicans from Vera Cruz.
