OFFICIALS WANT CARRANZAISTS
TO ACCEPT MEDIATION PRINCIPLE

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-With one
step gained by President Huerta's &C
ceptance of mediation in principle" ="
the "A. B. c. Enjoys representing Bra
Zill and Chile today prepared to carry
their Mexican peace propaganda into
the camp of General Venustiano Car
rama. first chief of the Constitu-
tionalists.
Huerta's action was regarded by
the ENJOYS as step forward in
bringing peace to Mexico, but the gen.
eral opinion prevailed that he would
not consider negotiations until he had
demanded certain concessions, includ-
ing formal recognition of his govern
ment and the evacuation of Vera Cruz
by the American forces. Neither will
be granted, was the opinion early to-
day.
General Carranza will be asked to
go as far as Huerta and accept "medi-
alton in principle"
Carranza Problem.
The officials here are unable to pre-
dict what action he will take. In the
past he has declared that under no
circumstances would he be considered
the traitor, Huerta as the president
h
him or his agents.
The peace dove perched on the
white house today, but the war and
navy departments continued activities
toward a campaign in Mexico.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an viewed Huerta's promising. but the
two fighting arms of the nation made
no move toward peace.
This was taken in official circles to
mean that the mediation program ac-
cepted by the administration is not
assured of success.
War Cloud Hovers.
Zone word from Huerta may change
the complexion of the peace move
ment and flush it with the hot breath
of war;" said a high official of the
navy "One word from President Will
son will have the same effect"
This man, who, during the night
was in conference with friends of Min
lister Naon and Ambassador Suarez,
the representatives of Argentina and
Chile, gave it as his opinion that
while the South American powers.
backed by England, Germany and
France, are hopeful of solving the
Mexican problem, they nevertheless
are doubtful as to it's outcome.
The great thing in favor OF the
representatives of Argentina, Brazil
and Chile in their attempt to make
Huerta bow before President Wilson" !"

derstanding of Latin-American charac-

LONDON. April 2s.-Secret orders
were issued to British troops today to
hold arms in readiness for a move
ment into Ulster province, as a result
of the wholesale gun running opera
tions of the anti-home rule forces
there.
Five British warships are lying off
Belfast, and throughout the night they
had their searchlights playing upon
the city and the adjacent coast to
prevent the landing of filibusters, re-
ported to be in the neighborhood.
The Ulster situation again COM
mands the full attention of the cabi-
net. At a gathering of cabinet men,
bers the suggestion was offered that
steps be taken at once to seize 10000
rifles and 100000 cartridges landed
in Ulster last Friday in violation of
the embargo on arms. 1t was argued
by those favoring this course that the
war munitions could be declared con-
trabands and thus made liable to seiz-
uro,

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 2S.-
The American flag in the city of
Monterey was torn down, trampled,
trampled under foot by mobs and then
burned in the anti-American riots
that took place there just before the
town was captured by the Constitu-
tionalists.
A thrilling story of the events at
Monterey that eliminated in the arrest

Imprisonment in the vermin infested
prison there, was told here today by
Robert Runyon.
Every possible indignity was COM
mitted against the Americans" he
said. "Citizens of the United States
were seized by Federal soldiers and
locked up after being paraded through
the streets like criminals. Crowds Of
Mexicans followed them, cursing and
reviling the helpless prisoners. Every
one thrown into Jail was told that he
would be shot to death the next day.

posted throughout the city: The

Immediately be sent into Colorado
by President Wilson.
The question as to whether the
president had the legal right to
send government soldiers into
state when the legislature Of that
state had not requested this ac-
tioR was the stumbling block
which delayed official action at
the White House. Precedents
were cited and statutes quoted
which finally convinced the presi-
dent and his advisers that he
would not be exceeding his powers
In sending troops into Colorado.

sary be brought to bear to accomplish
this result. The troops are in the field
to restore law and order and for no
other purpose. They are not inter
ested in the outcome of the strike.
1T must be remembered that for
nearly six months these men were in
the field. Up to the time that left
for Washington, not a single one was
killed by them because of the strike,
and only two altogether-one by acci-
dent and one fugitive from justice
who was resisting arrest. There need
be no further bloodshed if the strikers
will quit their warfare and return to
their homes. If they refuse to do this,
every available power will be brought
to bear to compel them to do so, and
further appeal, if necessary, will be
made until sufficient strength, local
and national, shall be secured to bring
about the result. 1t is state of in

The Carranzaists have not stated in
what respect they desire to be consult
ed with respect to mediation. 1t has
been expected that Carranza would be
approached, but it was not foreseen
that he would demand an active part
In the program at present.
Details of the mediation and the
conference leading thereto, have been
left to the United States and it is
these details which are bothering gov
ernment officials here. How it will
be possible to mediate effectually with
representatives of Huerta, who has
not been recognized by the United
States, or by the three mediating
countries, or by the representatives of
the Constitutionalists who are at dag
gers points with them, is a problem
seemingly impossible of solution.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-04-28

President Wilson and his cabinet to-
day discussed at length the mediation
idea and examined it from all angles
to determine exactly what the United
States would demand from Huerta.
The Mexican dictator is expected to
take the same step with regard to his
own demands. The two propositions
will be submitted to the representa-
tives of Argentine, Brazil and Chile
and the mediation will be analyzed.
The entrance of the Constitutional
lists into this situation at once COM
plicates tn matter immensely. Ger
tain it is that the demands of the Car
ranzaists will be opposed to those Of
the Huerta supporters, while neither
of these propositions are likely to be
in accord with the views of the United
States.

For forty-eight hours pressure has
been brought upon Huerta to accede
to the proposition of mediation, every
argument possible being urged.
The futility of opposing the vastly
superior armed forces of the United

and his close followers expressed the
belief that diplomacy would undoubt-
