f -= - = i W FOR PEACE AM) WAR EFFORTS MOVE FAST (Mediation Continues in Quiet 15u? Effective Way?Military Aurthorities Not Idle Meanwhile. Washington, April 30.?Gen. Huerta 4 t >nigh: accepted the proposals 'hat there b no further hostilities between the United States ana .Mexico peuums efforts of the envoys of Argentina, Brazil and Chile tD bring about an amicable se tlement of difficulties between the two countries. ^ This was announced late tonight by Secre:ary Bryan after he had been in conference for two hours with the three Souta American diplomats a: / the Argentine legation. At the same time Mr. Bryan said he had already formally notified the media:ors that the American govern men; "took it for granted tnere would be no hostilities riurino- thp mediation proceedings and had intended no further ac:s of agression while the conferences were being held." With these replies before them the envoys were prepared to go ahead with their peace plan so far' as the United States 'aid the Huerta government are concerned. No word had come from Gea. Carranza, however, concerning a proposed armistice between the constitutionalists and federals in Mexico. On the rtbel chiefs answer depends largely the plans of the mediators for undertaking a peaceful settlement of the whole Mexican problem, internal strife as well as dif ferences between the United S ates and the Huerta regime. News from Mexico tha: Gen. Carranza and Gen. Villa were pushiug ahead their southward movement and preparing for a general attack on Tampico threw a damper upon the peace between the warring Mexican factions. Secretary Bryan left the legation sbor:ly before midnight and the tliree mediators continued their conference. Secretary Bryan said later tha: he wsa in conference with the mediators when the message arrived from Huerta. Asked if anything had been heard from Gen. Carranza as to whether he would agree to an armistice the secre:ary replied tnat mere was queuing to say at this time. The envoys adjourned their night session soon after Secretary Bryan lef:. Restrained but none the less s eadv preparation for any military eventualities tha: may become necessary and the quiet but definite progress of the media ion programme being wrked out behind clo^d doors?these were The two outstanding features of the Mexican situation here today. The envoys of Argentina. Brazil and Chile acting as mediators con inued their private sit i;:gs. Jheir first move for an armistice was succeeded by the virtual suspension of hostilities, or a truce, between :he forces of the United Sta'es and the Huerta regime, although there were still ominous sounds of conflict between the Huerta and Carranza forces. Secretary Bryan formally no ified the three South American envoys thai the American government took it for granted there would be no hostilities during the mediation proceedings na bad intended no furrier acts of aggression while :he conferences were being h'eld. But the attitude of Huerta and Carranza on the cessation cf the hostilities still was unknown today. While 'here has been no period set within which the negotiations must be concluded, Secretary Bryan said today he belie%'ed they would move forward "as rapidly as possible." A "eport that i'hev might be prolonged by the mediators going to Mexico was met by the statement by one of the mediators tha: in these days of the iCICgi cijJii anu tauic suvu ? juui was unnecessary. While the envoys were nx ready +o make an announcement interesting phases of what has come up during , the discussion were learned from authoritative sources. It appears that while the attitude of Gen. Huerta was definite in accepting intermediation as between the United S'ates and Huerta government, i: has not yet been made clear chat his acceptance will apply also to intermediation that includes Carranza. It is expected that his question will be cleared up by inquiries now under way, so that it may be definitely established that Huerta not only accepts interemdiation with the United States but also with C o r*r*o T170 Another outgrowth of the discussion was an intimation that both the Huerta and Carranza elements would send representatives to deal directly with the mediators and that Francisco de la Barra, now at Paris, as ambassador for Huerta, probably would be designated to act for Huerta. It was known that tihe mediators themselves had made no move for a personal representative for either party. But there was reason to believe De La 'Barra coming would be considered at Mexico City and thai a g a ' representative of Carra..za who is on iiis way here, may be authorized tJ act in tha: direct capacity. During ;he day the intermediaries received word of the encouraging attitude of some of the foremost Euro: pean powers, notably Great Brrian. While the mediators have not appealed direct for the friendly infiu! ence of European powers, t'.ieir home l invn thpir am | auvc-uunruio iici ? _? bassadors and ministers at European capitals :o secure friendly cooperation. The responses are in general encouraging, yet the difficulties still i in che way of a settlement are recos1 nized. One continental diplomatist J poin.ed out that the difficulties increased as the scope of interemdiation was broadened. He likened the | si uation to the socalled concert of ! Europe, which seldom could be ! ; brought :o agreement because of the number of parties and diversity of interests. Constitutionalists here drew attention to the language of the note from Gen. Huerta, as not accepting any offer to solve the differences between himself and Gen. Carranza, but merely ; to listen to proposals which would j solve difficulties between the United S;ates and Mexico. In the note from the envoys to Carranza ihey extended "an offer of our good offices to all parties at interest in the problem of tne pacification of Mexico and the adjustment of tthe differences between f Mexico and :ihe United States. ! The Carranza reply thanked the I mediators for their effort to solve ; "the differences between Mexico and j the Uni.ed States." Asked what differences existed between the United States and Mexico in which Gen. Carranza could have ; a part, local constitutionalists recalled ' Carranza's recent note to toe Amerii ! can government in which he pointed ; out that demands for reparation as a result of the arrest of American blueI jackets at Tampico and other offences should properly be addressed to him as the constitutionalist president of Mexico. I Upon whether or not Gen. Carranza accepts any proposal for any armistice 1 as between himself and Gen. Huerta i I depends the limitation for the present j i of tbe field of the diplomats a.: work! ! on the whole Mexican problem, j ' Should Carranza refuse to accept any 'armistice with Huerta, the work of! j he diplomats, it is realized, would be: 1 confined solely to set.ling differences! ; between the United States and Mex-! i ico, though they by no mea::s have! j given up the idea or solving tne whole Mexican problem.

A fine rain was falling when the j few guests from New York city ar- i rived at the 400-acre Huntington , estate. Guards had been posted at the entrances and only those wihose credentials were unquestioned were admitted. Mr. Astor himself is a deputy sheriff of Dutchess county and some of his fellow deputies acted as sentinels at the gates.

Buried in blossoms with here and there a touch of green was the marble mantelpiece in the I library before whicii the couple stood. Miss Huntington entered the room ! leaning bn the arm of her father. At her throat bleamed a magnificent necklace of pearls, the gift of ihe bridegroom. Her bridal gown was of white tulle with a train of white satin. Her lace lace had been worn by her grandmother, Mrs. Dinsmore, and by her mother before her.
