the offer of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile to use their good offices to bring
about an amicable settlement Of the
Difficulty between the United States
and Mexico was cabIed to Spanish
Ambassador Riano here today by
Portillo Y RoIas, foreign minister In
the Huerta cabinet.
Washington, d. c., April 2S.-The
tenseness of the Mexican situation was
distinctly relieved today as the repre-
sentatives of Argentine, Brazil and
Chile, supported by the pressure from
all Latin-America and from the fore
most powers of Europe, concentrated
their efforts toward a pacific adjust
ment of the crisis.
The success of the first steps to-
ward mediation-the prompt accept
ance by the United States and the
announcement of the Spanish ambas-
sador that Huerta had accepted the
tender Of good offices-produced a
feeling of distinct hope which was re-
Elected not only in administration
| quarters, but in congress as well,
where "war talk" gave way to spir-
| 1t of Cancellation.
Throughout the day, the three South
American ENJOYS, who have under
taken the task of mediation, held fire.
quent conferences to arrange the pre-
liminaries of procedure.
No Details Yet.
Pending the receipt of the formal
acceptance by Huerta, no proposals
will be submitted to either the United
States or the Huerta government. Also
1t has been made plain that no condi-
lions from either party as to the terms
that will be acceptable has as yet
been formally placed before the inter
mediaries.
The president and Secretary Bryan
were assured through two separate
diplomatic sources that General Huer.
ia was ready to accept the tender OF
good offices and was now drafting a
formal acceptance. Pressure from
Germany, Great Britain and France
advising Huerta to accept the first
steps toward mediation, and the ap
proving attitude of Latin-AmerIcan
countries to the settlement of the con
troversy by Pan-American diplomacy
emphasized the worldwide influences
which are working to bring about
peace and avert a conflict of death
and bloodshed
