Now That General Huerta Has
Internationally Accepted
Principle Of Mediation.
ATTITUDES AND DESIRES
of Both Sides Are Being Com
Sidered with Intention OF
Avoiding An Impasse

WASHINGTON, April IS Spanish
Ambassador Riano, al charge Of the
affairs of Mexico in the United States
today informed Secretary Bryan that
General Huerta had uncondittonatiy
accepted the principle of medaatlon
as involved In. the proposal Of the gov
arnments of Brazil, Argentine and
Chile.
The ENJOYS OF the three govern
Inents, whose good offices have now
been formerly accepted by the United
States and the Huerta government %
compose the crisis in Mexico, resumed
their sessions early today at the AR
gentine legation under circumstances
which gave them much ENCOURAGE
ment.
With the acceptance OF both govern
ments now definitely before them the
three ENJOYS occupied a semi -Inedia-
tory attitude, almost in the nature Of
an International tribunal, constdering
the attitude and desires of each side
and seeking to find some middle
ground on which both could stand
The sessions are all private and sur
rounded by every safeguard against
premature discussion of plans It was
known, however, that the chief EFFORT
of today was to try to perfect plan
on which they have been working ever
since tnelE I6uuST VI esOo1
made. This Will be laid before the
two governments at the earliest pos
sfble moment.
The ENJOYS have acquainted them
selves as fast as circumstances per-
mitted with the viewpoint of both sizes
without calling for any formal decla--
ration from either side as to what u
might or might not accept, the idea
being to seek middle course, Wl1lch
will, IL possible, avoid an impasse py
the formal submission of conditions
impossible of being reconciled. While
thew feel that their first positive move
may not bring the parts together YET
they hope it will be a starting point
which with notifications developed a.
the negotiations proceed gradually
will lead toward final plan accept
able to both governments
