WILSON ACCEPTS MEDIATION

Observation-Disclosures diplo-
macy made its first attempt to solve
the Mexican crisis by peaceful me-
gotiations.
The United States government ac.
cepted from Argentine, Brazil and
Chile a formal offer to act as inter-
mediaries in the present situation, but
reservedly pointed out that an act of
aggression by the military forces or
hostile demonstrations toward Amer.
leans might upset hopes of immediate
peace.
Coincidentally with the acceptance
of the mediation offer, administration
officials announced there would be no
cessation of preparations by the army
and navy for future emergencies and
no orders would be issued to the IA
val forces at Vera Cruz or the ships
at sea changing original plans. No
further steps, however, to secure rep
arations for the indignities which
gave rise to the present situation will
be attempted while the effort is be-
ing made to bring about a settlement
through diplomacy.

States acceptance of their proposal

Huerta Says, 81 Will Not Resign;
Will Take to the Mountains
and Fight.

Vera Cruz, Mexico (Via Galveston,
Texas).-"I will not resign. l will
take to the mountains with my men
and my cabinet, and l will fight"
That Is the message sent out to the
people Of Mexico City by Gen. Vic.
toriano Huerta.
The declaration of Huerta, if later
events verify it, means, In the opinion
of the best informed men here, that
all efforts at mediation by the "A, B,
c" powers will fail.
Huerta will not consent to his own
elimination. Instead, Huerta proposes
to fight to hold his power, and he re-
lies upon finding sufficient desperate
and determined men to follow him to
make deposition to the United States
a reality.
That, In the opinion of prominent
Americans here, means a guerilla war.

will be such desperate criminals as

Conflict Between Elements of North

Washington.-The scope of media.
ton plans for the settlement OF the
Mexican crisis was suddenly broad
ened so as to include the entire range
of Mexican affairs-not alone the
critical issue between the United
States and the Huerta regime, but
also the conflict between the elements
Of Northern and Southern Mexico,
which have rem the republic for many
months.
This signal enlargement Of the me-
diation program followed the receipt
of a formal acceptance by Gen. Car
rama, chief Of the constitutionalists.
of the principle of mediation, as pro-
posed by the ambassador from Brazil
and the ministers from Argentina and
Chile.
Already the United States and Gen.
Huerta had formally accepted the good
offices of these South American en-
voys, and now as a further step, Gen.
Carranza has been brought into the
deliberations so as to draw every ele-
ment and faction within the range of
any settlement which may be attained.
The mediators made another decis-
i've move, in asking the United States
and Gen. Huerta to agree to an armis-
tice by which all aggressive military
movements would be suspended pend
ing the outcome of the negotiations.
The m~ediators confidently expect both
sides to accept the armistice proposal.
A separate proposal for an armistice
between Huerta and Carranza also will
be made, and with it's acceptance all
of the warning elements throughout
Mexico as we'll as the American forces,

American Consul Canada, through a
messenger who returned to Vera Cruz.
W. H. Mechling Of the geographical
survey of Canada, who has been for
some time in Mexico in behalf Of the
universities Of Harvard, Pennsylvania
and Columbia, spent two days at Cor
doba. He was detained, but not put
in jail, and finally was permitted to
proceed here as an Englishman,
though In reality he is an American.
Mr.. Mechling went to the Jail in Cor
doba Sunday afternoon and talked to
the prisoners, among them several he
is acquainted with. They begged him
to communicate their plight to Consul
Canada and Rear Admiral Fletcher in
an endeavor to secure their release.
The prisoners are herded like cattle

inmates of the Jail. They are per-
mitted to have food and drink only

are kept in a state of terror by fire.

prisoners is a young American woman

EL PASO IS TERRORIzED
American Towns Along the Border
Prepared for Conflicts Which
Seem Constantly Imminent.

Ell Paso, Texas.-El Pasoans are
spending their days in expectancy and
their nights In anxiety, and the war
lever, fed by the knowledge that Mex
lean treachery, formed by Mexican
hatred for Americans, is capable of
any ~atrocity, is increasing in intensity
as the days pass.
For a week Ell Paso has expected
trouble with Mexicans within it's Dor
ders, and with Mexicans across the
Rio Grande, and every man Of the
American population of the city has
prepared for a conflict which con-
stantly appears imminent.
For days American cannon, field
pieces capable of carrying death and
destruction wherever their missiles
are sent, have been trained from the
heights Of Ell Paso towards the Guar
tells in Juarez and upon every point
from which a Mexican attack could
be made upon Ell Paso. For days
American cavalry and American in
fantry, equipped for instantaneous &C.
ton, have been waiting at the thresh-
hold of Juarez, ready to move upon
that town upon the slightest hostile
move which the rebels Of Pancho
Villas army might make.
Night and day American machine
guns have guarded the approaches to
the international bridges leading from
Ell Paso to Juarez and constantly thou
sands of American men, voluntary
home guards, have been waiting and
ready to lend, with desperate earnest
ness, assistance to the defense Of the
city of Ell Paso.
Across a narrow and almost water.
less river, within a stones throw OF
the business section of Ell Paso, Pan
cho Villa, former bandit and now mil
itary dictator of all of Northern Mex
leo, has been watching the trend Of
events on the American side with the
cunning of an Indian. His coming to
Juarez, flushed with the victory of his
army at Torreon and filled with the
desire to add to his glory in Mexican
estimation, was a menace to Ell Paso
and a threat to the American nation.
