TO mediate the crisis with the United
States government. This statement
was made at the Spanish embassy,
which has been designated by Huerta
to represent him at Washington.
Senior Riano, Spanish ambassador,
says that his advices were not official,
but that he had received word from
the City of Mexico that Huerta had
consented.
1t is expected the official communi-
cation from Huerta will be received
at the Spanish embassy to be deliver
ed to the diplomatic representatives
in Washington of Argentina, Chile
and Brazil.
This means that all hostilities be-
tween the United States and Huerta
will cease, at least pending the media
ton proceedings.
So far as a be learned, no word
has yet been received from Carranza,
but there is NO doubt in Washington
that he will be forced now, through
public sentiment in Mexico, to become
a party to the mediation.
If Huerta finally accepts the condi-
tions imposed by President Wilson
and consents to his own elimination
and the establishment of a constitu-
t1onal government, he will be revers
ig himself on his previous defiant
stand toward these demands. On sew
eraf occasions he has fatty refused
to consider any such proposals.
In the present emergency, however,
Huerta will find himself under ire
mendous pressure, not only from the
European powers, but from practically
all of the Latin-American countries.
Administration Officials Gratified.
The interests of the Huerta govern
ment in the United States we're taken
over by the Spanish embassy when
Charge Algara asked for his passports
and left Washington for Canada.
Ambassador Riano received the Of
fer of good offices from the three
peace ENJOYS after the offer had been
accepted on the part of the United
States by President Wilson. it was
cabled at once to the Spanish minister
at Mexico City and by him presented
to President Huerta,
When the formal acceptance form
Mexico City is in hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intimation
OF the nature of which as vet has
been given.
1t has been generally understood
here, however, that the peace ENJOYS
expect to dead directly with the stu
alton created by the resentment by
the United States government against
the Tampico incident and other Of
lenses against its honor and dignity,
hoping to bring about a peaceful set
Element.
Administration officials here ap-
peared to be much grstifed at the
prospect Of having the proposals of
the great South American republics
listened to by Gen. Huerta. Until the
nature OF their plan is known no of
hcer of the administration will have
comment to make.
Hope for peace, yet no slackening
In preparations for war, was the spirit
Of the days developments in the Mex
lean crisis.
President Wilson, hopeful though
not confident that war may be avert
ed through the efforts of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile. conferred with Sec.
rotary Garrison, approving orders for
the joint jurisdiction of the army and
navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity
when Brig. Gen. Funston, who will be
IN command there, and his troops ar
rive to reinforce Admiral F1etcher's
forces Of marines and ~bluejackets.
Tension over the one phase OF the
situation which may at my moment
upset peace plans-was partly re-
lieved by an announcement of Secre-
tary Bryan that, through the British
embassy here, the Huerta officials and
Admiral Fletcher had arranged for the
safe departure Of Americans from the
Recognized the Burden.
