Washington. April 2S.-The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broadened tonight so as to include the entire range of Mexican affairs-not alone the critical issue between the United States and the Huerta regime. but also the conflict between the ele- ments of northern and southern Mex 1co This signal enlargement of the media ton programme followed the re- ceipt, late in the day, or formal ac- ceptance by General Carranza, chief Of the constitutionalist forces, Of the prIn- ciple of mediation, as proposed by the ambassador from Brazil and the minis ters from Argentina and Chile.
 Already the United States and Gen. eraI HGerta had formally accepted the good offices of these South American envoys, and now General Carranza has been brought into the deliberations so as to draw every element and faction within the range of any settlement which may be attained
 Earlier in the day the medfators made another decisive move, in asking the United States and General Huerta to agree to an armistiee by which all aggressive military movements would be suspended pending the outcome Of the negotiations. The mediators eonfi- dently expect both sides to accept the arm 1stice proposal. A separate pro- posai for an armistice as between Huerta and Carranza will also be made, and with it's acceptance all the warning clements throughout Mexico, as well as the American forces, would maintain a military. status quo,
 The American government in it's Tor maj reply to the aEzaistfce proposal will expressly stlpulate thas any untowa&d act toward Americans will be regar ded as an infractfon of the aIxnistice
 The South American env,oys were in session throughout the day at the Ar genuine legation. They sus pended their night session, however, desiring g. respite from their almost continuous meetings during the last three days and nights Up to the time of their ad- tournment they had progressed stead fly on their plans and foFeSaw def- nfte statement within the new few days of their contemplated action. Dur inG the evening the enEoys individually conferred with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central and South America to lay before them what had been done and discuss the general situation This emphasized what the mediators have been seek ing-a purely American settlement of a crisis which affects the political in tesrfty of all Spanish America. The patriotic unity of all Mexico and all Spanish-Amerloa was expected to give s signal evidence to the world at large, and particularly to Europe, of what the American republics could do for Ghe tranquility of the western heTnf- sphere af 9 time of supreme crisis.

easements were white stone; a white
stone terrace stretched before it. At
one front, as they came. was the car

formal English garden, walled with
box hedges, lay sleeping before the
springtime; at the opposite side a
wide lawn fell to massive brick wall,
spaced with stone pillars, guarding
the grounds from the flowing of the
James river. Colonel Hampton gazed
at the home of his people and then at
his guest, and he cast the harness of

The feeling is widespread that
