 In November, 1860, the Clerical General Hiramon seized $66O. .OOO in silver which had been deposited at the British legation as the property of bondholders, and d few months later a Juarist general seized con voy of some hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of silver bullion belonging to British subjects and on its way to the coast The Juarist government also suspended payment of the interest on its foreign loan. which was then mainly held in Eng land.
 In the face of all these outrages. Earl Russell and Lord Palmerston refraiued from intervention, despite the fact that it would have been comparatively easy thing since the Juarists held the ports. They were, moreover. not faced with the neceg. sity of policing the country after the intervention, since both France and Spain were ready to take up the work and France had definitely de- cided to obtain a permanent hold on Mexico. When France determined to move Great Britain left the field to Napoleon III.

Benton in Mexico, not only is not novel, but even almost unimportant compared to the events of 1S59-62. A list of outrages committed during those three years before the British government joined France and Spain in the intervention which led to the seating of Maximilian of Austria upon the Mexican throne, has been brought forward in part as follows:
 Dr. Duyal, a British subject, who was arrested in April, 1859 by the Clerical General Marquez while at- tending to wounded Juarists after their defeat at Tacubaya, was shot without trial.
 A British subject named J. l.. lnnes was hunted through the noun tains about Oaxaca with a price on his haed.
 British Vice Consul Bodmer was

 There were several other murders of British subjects of humber posi- tions
 A Mir. Burnand's factory was twice plundered and he was severely wounded by the robbers, so that he lost an arm; his wife went mad from the shock
 Financially, too, British subjects suffered greatly through these three years. Claims submitted by British subjects to their legation up to April 2S, 1861, amounted to 12,000,6O0 for such outrages as forced supplies, " "stoppage of factory" "plunder, death and mutilation,' "imprison-

HUERTA FIRST TO

ANNOUNCES SELECTION OF MEN
WHO WILL CONFER WITH
THE MEDIAToRs.
ccnstltutionalists Have Been EIImi
mated From All Consideration by
Action Of carranza and Media
tlon Limited to Flag Incident.

Washington. Mexican develop
ments moved rapidly on Monday with
an evident tenseness in the diplomatic
and military situations. The Soutn
American mediators held three SEES
sions during the day and night, an
nouncing through Secretary Bryan
that General Huerta had designated
D. Emilio Rabasa, an eminent Next
can jurist, and Augustin CARA, under
secretary OF justice, as two of his
delegates to confer with the media
tors. Mr.. Bryan did not reply to the
n@liators as to the appointment Of
American delegates
The length of the ENJOYS confer
ence with Secretary Bryan led to the
belief that some OF the crucial Ques-
tions were being approached. While
no official announcement was made
1t was generally understood as a re
suit of the unyielding attitude Of the
oonstitutionalists, mediation for the
time being would be limited to the fiae
incident at Tampico. on which Presi
dent wilson's course was justified BY
the joint resolution of congress.
General Carranza and the constitu
/ tionalists have been practically elimi
mated from proceedings Of the thres
South American ENJOYS who have un
dertaken to solve the Mexican prob
| lem by diplomacy.
In a telegram to General carranzi
/ on Monday, the mediators announced
i that in view Of his refusal to agree

they withdrew their invitation to hin
to send a personal representative t
4 participate In the mediation negotia
! tons
The mediators told the constitu
tionalists that as long as he main
tanned his present attitude they mus
decline to treat with him. Genera
Carranza had inquired In note t
the ENJOYS what subjects a specia
representative might be required t
discuss, pointing out that If the gen
eral problem Of pacifying Mexico wer
to be approached he could not author
lie anyone to participate in the ne
gotiations. He reiterated that b
would consent to mediation only q
the incidents which had brbugh

ANOTHER DECISIVE MOVE IN

Washington. The three South
American ENJOYS who have undertake
en- the task Of pacifying Mexico by
diplomacy on Saturday made another
decisive move in their plan by request
ing the United States government,
General Huerta and General Carranza,
TO appoint representatives to confer
with them In washington
ambassador de CANA OF Brazil and
Ministers Naon and Suarez Of Argen
tina and Chile, respectively, called on
Secretary Bryan, asking him to desig
nate the United States representatives
to attend conferences of the media,
tors. At the same time they tele-
graphed the head Of the government
In Mexico City. as well as the consti
nationalist chief. to the same effect
No announcement OF the subjects tc
be considered by the representatives
of the three parties to the mediation,
or of the powers or functions Of the
new ENJOYS, was made, except for the
following brief statement, which was
issued through the state department
on the authority of the three diplo-
mats:
THE mediators have delivered to
this government and are sending out
to General Huerta and General Car
ranza requests that representatives
be appointed to confer with the me
diators"
| The proposal to bring together spe-
cially designated representatives who
would be coversant with the view
point Of all factions in Mexico and the
position of the American government,
was the result Of an all day session
of the South American ENJOYS. The
suggestion had been made to them
from various quarters that much time
would be saved and the problem Of
exchanging views simplified by sucf
process.
While it is realized that the repre-,
sentatives of all parties probably
would not be given authority finally
to pass on points brought up in this
discussion with the mediators, they
would be able to sound out their su
periors so that before formal propo
sails actually were made the mediatort
would have an idea Of their probable
reception.
