Upon carranza.

Washington, April 3.-With the hope
Of securing permanent protection for
the $4,000 foreigners in Mexico City
the United States government has pro-
posed to the Villa-Zapata forces and
to General Carranza that the Mexican
capital be declared neutral and out
side the field of operations hereafter
in Mexico's civil war.
The Villa-Zapata forces have agreed
to the proposal and are willing to
evacuate the city as soon as similar
agreement is arranged with the Car
rama authorities. who are now being
negotiated with.
Depends on carranza.
On General Carranza also depends
whether or not the effort of the United
State to neutralize the railway be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz shall
succeed, as the Villa-Zapata officials
have likewise given their assent to
this proposal. The plan, with respect
to Mexico City, contemplates an ar.
rangement whereby order would be

lected by mutual agreement between

not then, under the terms of the agree
ment, be subject to further attacks,
nor would there be any more changes
in government until a central govern.
ment had been established.
Officials Are ENCOURAGED.
Officials here who are conversant
with details of the plan are much en-.
couraged by the prompt acceptance
given to 1t by the Villa-Zapata authori.
ties, and are now hopeful that Gen
eral Carranza can be persuaded to do
likewise. Duval West, personal rep
resentative of President Wilson, who,
it is understood. will confer with Cen
eral Carranza at Vera Cruz within the
next few days on the Mexican situa-
ton generally. probably will assist
Consuls Silliman and Canada in their
efforts to secure Carranza's approval.

London, April 3.-With Russian
armies threatening to burst into the
Hungarian plains. Austrian diplomats
already have begun overtures looking
to a separate peace with Russia, &C.
cording to reports now in circulation
in Petrograd, but utterly without Of
fetal confirmation.
Swiss diplomats, Petrograd reports,
have carried the Austrian queries to
the Car. They have been informed
that Russia will not negotiate with
Franz Josef unless Austria at the
same time concludes a peace with
France and England. but that Russia
ts willing to halt her armies at the
Carpathians and listen to peace pro.
posals.
Believe Reports True.
Petrograd correspondents of the
London papers asserted that there are
good grounds for the belief that the
report may be true. It was first print.
ed in the Russky Slovoe, a Petrograd
newspaper usually we'll informed.
In diplomatic circles here the re-
port was not generally credited,
though it was admitted it might pos
sibly be true. By concluding q separ.
ate peace Franz Josef, it was said,
might save his Empire from disin-
tegration. At the same time peace
arrangement with the allies, it was
pointed out, would remove definitely
the prospects that Italy would attempt
to shut Austria off from the Adriatic.
