WASHINGTON, April 29.-Vigor-

American warships from Tampico
when American citizens in that place
were in danger from Mexican mobs,
was made in the senate today The
fact that these Americans were allow

the submission of kilograms from refu-

Il cannot help feeling that it Is a
good thing to protect our own citi-
zens ourselves" said Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts, who pointed out
that American gunboats had been
withdrawn from Tampico because it
was feared that their presence might
inflame the Mexican mob against
American citizens in Tampico.
IF we had landed men from the
American warships, instead of with
drawing those ships, we could have
protected all Americans there, and
there would have been no need of res

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Victori-
ano Huerta, dictator of Mexico, is pur-
suing his usual tactics. His policy Of
deceit and evasion is unchanged. The
ENJOYS of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
who proffered mediation to bring
peace in Mexico are therefore the most
puzzled diplomats in Washington to-
day.
Huerta has had his foreign minister
announce in Mexico City that he will
accept mediation by the "A. B. c."
nations of South America, provided
they act with England, France and
Spain and elect a seventh nation to
act as umpire to decide disputes that
may arise. He has notified the Span
ish ambassador at Washington that he
will accept mediation" To his noti-
flcation to Ambassador Riano, the die
tator attached no strings.
What Huerta's real plan is the en-
voys of the Latin-American nations
do not know. They admit this. New
ertheless they are proceeding with
their plans for affecting peace. None
will predict that these plans will be
successful.
Tentative Peace Plan.
The diplomats Of the great European
powers are watching developments
closely. They are understood to have
given their approval Of this tentative
program Of the representatives of Ar

DENVER, April 29.-The entrance
of federal troops into Colorado today
has temporarily, at least caused a
cessation of actual combat in a ma
jority of the mining centers.
At 1920 o'clock the only battle in
progress between strikers and non
union miners and guards was at Forbs,
14O miles from Trinidad, and only a
short distance from Ludlow, the scene
of the tragedy which inflamed the
strikers throughout the strike. The
details have not been learned, but it
is understood the strikes have been
victorious.
At Walsenburg, where a battle had
ragged for more than forty-eight hours,
both sides this morning fell back upon
their bases. In the northern field,
near Louisville, where a fierce battle
was fought last night, the state SOL
diers are in supreme charge. This
was not accomplished, however, until
late in the day. Every miner has de-
serted the Hecla mine, and all the
women and children have been sent
to Boulder and to Denver.
oCop1Io tuC dppdI SuI pcdCc IudI Has
prevailed, it is considered doubtful
whether it can endure throughout the
day. The federal troops do not take
actual charge Of the situation until to-
morrow. Two troops from Fort D. A.
Russell are now in the edge of the
strike zone. Their base is at Canon
City in the northern edge Of the south
ern field. Canon City is near the CEN
extends more than two hundred miles
north and south. Troops from Fort
Leavenworth will arrive tomorrow.
Until then the plans of the federal
cavalrymen will not be known
Telephone advicea shortly before
noon said that fighting had been re-
sumed at Walsenburg. Mine guards
and militia were said to be defending
the Walsen mine from Water Tank
hill against strikers who were firing at
long range.
