 Takes Complete Control.
 Washington, May 1.-To what q tent intermediation between ul United States and Huerta would affected by refusal of the Carran1 element to suspend military operation against Huerta pending mediatio| was the chief question confrontifI the South American mediators whd they resumed their sessions at ell Argentine legation today.
 The midnight conference betwed the mediators and Secretary BryaI lasting for more than two hours haX established definitely that the Unite States and Huerta would suspend mi itary operations, the only reservatio. made by the United States being tha it would be free to repel any attack But Carranza still held aloof fro. any suspension of hostility betweeX him and the Mexican federal force All efforts, therefore, were directc to have the. truce include the war ring elements in northern Mexico d well as those of the United States an ! Huerta.
 Work Will Proceed.
 The work of the mediators, it waI learned in authoritative quartera would proceed steadily no mattel what the final attitude of Carranzl was on the question of armistice, all though an adverse decision by hir} would necessarily restrict the intef{ mediation to the main issue betwee} the United States and Huerta. Th{ mediators are still hopeful that thu entire subject, including the internaI Mexican issue may be brought withiL their deliberations, but, if not, it i| assumed they still will proceed to tn adjustment of the conflict growing ouI of the Tampicc flag incident on whiclI President Wilson's action was justiI fled by congress. the landing Of AmerI ican forces at Vera Cruz an othe} issues

 Neutral Zone Desired.
 Gravity of the situation at Tampico growing out of the fast accumulation of oil from the flowing wells in the interior which constitute a great menace to the town itself, vast finan : cial loss as a result of the overflow ing of the tanks, and finally the Inter ference with neutral commerce by the constitutionalists as exhibited in tho firing upon the Ward Line steamer. Antilla at that port, prompted sit Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambas sador, to confer today with Assistaii Secretary Osborne at the state de - pertinent, in further effort to create a neutral zone in the oil field vicfn- ity.
 Many Americans Remain.
 Consul Canada at Vera Cruz re- ported to the state department today that there still are 1,500 Americans in Mexico City unable to get out because of interrupted railroad facilities. These, for the most part, arrived in the capital just after the departure of the last train for Vera Cruz. Cons sul Canada has asked the Brazilian minister and Admiral Craddock, the British commander, to exert their eff forts to restore railroad communi- cation with the capital.

 Admiral Badger reported to the navy department today that within two or three days he would send the battleship Montana to New York with bodies of sailors and marines killed at Vera Cruz.
