INCLUDES REBELS \ OKN. CARRANZA AKSO ACCEPTS OFFER OF MEDIATION TAKES ON WIDE SCOPE \ Wovenjent for Peaceful Solution of j Present Mexican Difficulty Assumes fiarge Proportions?Mediators Request Armistice Between Huertn and United States. The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broadened Wednesday night so aa to include the entire fRDPTi nf M nvlpO n <1 ff 'lira -WTnt n n w v*. 4IAVA4VUU UtlUii O liul U1U1IU the critical iESue''between tho United .States and tho Iluerta regime, but 'also the conflict between tho elements of northern and southern Mexico, which have rent the republic for many months. This signal enlargement of the mediation program followed the receipt late Wednesday of a formal acceptance by Gen. Oarranza, chief of the Constitutionalists, of the principle of mediation, as proposed by the ambassador from Brazil and tho ministers from Argentino and Chile. Already the United States and Gen. Iluerta had formally accepted the good offices of these South American envoys and now, as a further step, Gen. Carranza has been brought into the deliberation, so as to draw ?very element and faction within the range of any settlement which may be attained. Earlier Wednesday tho mediators made another decisive move, in asking tho United States ?.nH Hon iluerta to agree to an armistice, by which all aggressive military movements would be suspended pending the outcome of the negotiations. The mediators confidently expect both sides to accept the armistice pro' posal. ^ A separate proposal for an armistice as between Huerta and Carranxa also will be made, and with its ^acceptance all of the warring elements throughout Mexico, as well as American forces, would maintain ,-a military status quo. The American government in its formal reply to the armistice proposal will stipulate expressly that anjr untoward act toward Americans will ,bo regarded MB an infraction of the armistice. ^Constitutionalists at Washington Thursday drew attention to the lan* feuage of the note from Gen Carran~ ma, as not accepting any offer to solve ^the difference between himself and ' ^Ceai. Huerta, but merely to listen to '*" (proposals which would solve difficulties between ,the Uhlted States and Mexico. In the note from the envoys .to Carranza they extended "an offer of our good offices to all parties at Interest in the problem of the pacification of Mexico and the adjustment of the differences between Mexico and the United States". The Car ranza reply thanked the mediators for their effort to solve "the differr eacee between Mexico and the United States." Asked what differences existed ber a tween the United States and Mexico , ta which Gen. Carranza could have J a i>art, local Constitutionalists recalled Carranza's rocent note to the 41 American government in which he pointed out that demands for repara\ tlon as a result of the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico and other offenses should properly be r.ddressed to hm as the constitutional president of Mexico. Upon whether or not, Gen. Carranut accepts any proposal for any armistice as between himself and Gen. Huerta depends the limitation for the present of the field of the diplomats at work on the whole Mexcan problem. Should Carranza refuse to accept any armistice with Huerta, the work of the diplomats, it is realized, would be confined solely ot settling differences between the United States , and Mexico, though they by no means t have given up the idea ot solding tho whole Mexican problem. The South American envoys were t* session throughout the day Durtng the evening the envoys individually conferred with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central find South America. This emphaslzJ ;* ea what the mediators have been 1 seeking?a purely American settle,ment of a crisis which affects the Vpolitical integrity of all Ipanisli America. The patriotic unity of all Mexico t and all Spanish America was ex^ peeled to give a signal evidence to .' ^ the world at large, and particularly 1 to Europe, of what the American rei publios could do for the tranquility mt the western hemisphere at a time f supreme crisis; ? ?

Was Placed Rcliind Bars in Jail Until Constitutionalists Captured Town and Released Him. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan were greatly incensed recently on receiving a dispatch from Consul General Philip C. Hanna at Monterey, Mexico, announcing that he had been subjected to insults and indlgnties by Mexican federal officers and kept a prisoner in the government palace from April 2 2 until the Constitutionalists forces captured the town two days later. The consul reported that 1 ~ .1 t Y71 1 1 A uiuuo iou u/ jp cuerai uiucers lore down all the American flags In the city, trampled them and then burned them up in the streets. On the arrival of the Constitutionalists, Mr. Hanna was released and treated with marked consideration, lie said the rebel ofllcers made espeeclies in front of the State house, giving assurances of full protection to all foreigners and non-combatants. Secretary Bryan went to the White House and conferred with the president when tho consul general's report reached tho state department. Mr. Hanna's message to Secretary Bryan was dispatched from Monterey. Tho secretary took it to tho White House at once and it resulted in long conferences between him and President Wilson. Mr Hanna reported hat he had been courteously treated by tho Constitutionalists. Mr. Hanna's report reads: "Secretary of State, Washington. "April 24.?On the 21 of April an officer, Capt. Alvarez del Castillo, evidently instructed by tho federal military commanded to tear down all American flags, arrived at this consul- 1 ate with a street' mob which he had gathered about 4 o'clock in the after- ' noon and pounded in the door and ^ ^ ^ ^ .1 ? J A1.-1 XI X ? ^ uiMiiiniuea niiiL mo /vmencan nag over this consulate general bo Imme- 1 diately lowered or he would shoot it down. The other federals proceeded ( to tear down all American flags, standing on them, making speeches 1 throughout the city of Monterey, burning some of them and tearing them up and leaving them piled in the middle of the stretts. "It was the most insulting affair I 1 or any of the people of Monterey ever have witnessed. They then plac- ed a police guard in front of this consulate general, and all the inmates in this building were made prisoners. "The next morning about 10 o'clock a police lieutenant advanced 1 with a force of men and addressed 1 me that he had been instructed to search the building. The insulting search was completed about noon, when your consul general was taken prisoner through the streets with the mob and carried first to the peniten- i tlary and afterwards to the state government palace, which building has been for some time military quarters ( and fortified, and was the object of special attack by the then attacking 1 forces. ' "While I was placed under heavy 1 guahd in the grand reception of the ' State palace I fully realize that I was constantly being considerably Insult- ' ed and greatly humiliated, not on a' count of my personality but on account of my official position as rep- ( resentative of the United States government in north Mexico. "At about 8" o'clock in the evening of A.pril 22, I wap tak n before the military court and notified that I was charged with being in sympathy with the Constitutionalist chiefs and of being friendly to oertan Constitutionalists generals, and especially Gen. Pablo Gonzales and Gen Antonio Villoreal. I v/as kept a prisoner In- ' communlcado until the evacuation of the city by the federal troops, and until the arrival of the Constitutionalist forces early this morning. "There were tlme3 during the period when it was bolioved by many that I would bo shot or carried to the mountains as a prisoner, In case the federals evacuated the city. Howover, the ipvaslon of the city took place last night and I was left alone in, the State capltol building as its sole guardian for about six hours without being informed by any individual or officer of their departure. "The Constitutionalist forces, under command of Gen. Pablo Gonzales, Gen. Antonio Villareal and Gen. Castro carried on a sucoessful attack for about five days, which resulted in the defeat of the federal army with heavy losses on the part of the fedorals and their complete rout, j "The city is quiet and the feeling I of safety and confidence has returned to the people. "The opinion generally prevails that it Is the Constitutionalists' purpose to bring about a high type of free government, personal liberty and protection of property. "While many Americans have been Imprisoned for the past few days by the federals, no Americans have been killed or injured excepting Guy Sawyer, head of the American PrlDtlng company, who was seriously wounded at his country home during the first days of the battle. Mr. Sawyer is reported better this morning. (Signed) "Consul General Hanna," ? If you like the paper we publish tell your frlende who do not take )* WAR IN COLORADO TWO BATTLES FOUGHT BEFORE U. S. TROOPS ARRIVE. # MILITIA MAKES ATTACK ?? State Troops Make Desperate Attack on Force of Strikers Four Times Their Sterngtli and Fall Back Under Withering Fire?Nine Reported Killed. Colorado's industrial conflict Wednesday claimed a toll of at least nine human lives in lights at Forbes and Walsonburg. This was recorded Weduesday night, divided as follows: At Forbes, seven mine guards and one striker dead, with two other strikers believed to have been killed. rr\.? m 1 xiiu r ui ucs camp was a sceno of desolation, virtually all the mine buildings having been destroyed by lire. The attack was opened by the strikers in force about 5:30 a. m. Wednesday. With the women and children of the camp barricaded in the mine store, the guards responded spiritedly. About 10 o'clock the firing ceaLed, and the camp's assailants disappeared as mysteriously as they came, some toward Trinidad and others over the hills in the direction of Berwind and Tabasco. A mine official said three strikers were seen to tumble down tho hillside A dispatch from Walsenburg Wednesday said that one dead and three wounded is the known casualty list in a six-hour battle there, in which less than 100 militiamen attempted to dislodge an estimated force of 4 00 strikers entrenched in tho hills adiaCeilt tO t.hA tOWr? TiMr?lr?cr n f ~ ? -3 & '""6 DVW^pOU late in tho afternoon when the troops wero withdrawn on orders, local officers say, received from Denver. The dead: MaJ. P. P. Lester, member hospital eorps, Walsenburg. The wounded were a lieutenant and two privates. The firing was heavy when orders were received to withdraw and Major Lester's body was left on the field. A. low range of hills that runs along the north and east side to the town was tho scene of to-day's battle. Fighting started when a detachment under Lieut. Scott left the town limits and started to cross over a low rise of ground. For two hours the militiamen 90ught to dislodge the strikers without success, advancing by a series of rushes. Both details were returning the fire of the strikers with vigor when a courier from Col. Verdekberg recalled the troops. The retreat was made under as great difficulty as the adavnce, and it was nearly 5 o'clock before the troops reached town < The strikers are said to be still entrenched along the side of the low bill which forms a natural fortification. Reports are current the strik- . ers will make a final effort to take the town before the arrival of federal troops. Maj. Lester was in charge of the hospital corps. Ho had just completed dressing the wound received by Private Miller when ho was shot down. > TKOOPS ENDS STRIKE. I Arrival of United States Soldiers Quell Rioting. A Denver dispatch says the arrival of the United States troops ordered to the strike district of that State practically brought, an end to the hostilities which have been waged unceasingly by both sides for the past several weeks. At many places the strikers have surrendered their firearms with the understanding that they are not to bo taken into custody. One of the largest bodies to thus surrender their arms was a group of six hundred and fifty at Walsenburg. Revised figures show that thirteen were killed and many others are still missing after the two battles at Forbes An interes'ing phase of the situation is the threatened resignation of many of the officers In the State militia. They are incensed at the statement of Gov. Ammons who declared the situation was beyond State control. ? Majority Against Blease. . _ _ uovornor iiioase wired his friends In Charleston, and a half-page ad in the evening paper there called for aid to the Blease-Grace alliance. Of the seventeen uncontested clubs In Charleston ten are against the governor and only seven for him. ? ? ? Getting Ships Ready. In response to numerous American Inquiries received in London for tonnage in connection with the Mexican ctIsIs, many British steamers have been offered but no business has yet rosultod. ?

JjflH mA * HUB sa mmmmmmmtmmmm^mmmmmmm^?m?mmm^amtmmmmammimmmm?mmm^+. Lexington, S. C., April 3 0.?When j seen to-day Frank W. Shealy, the popular and efficient clerk of court of Lexington county, said: "I am in the race for railroad commissioner, j I only decided to become a candidate after canvassing the situation thoroughly with my friends who have in- _ terested themselves in my behalf. At j this time I have 110 claims or prophesies to make concerning the outcome of the campaign. I can only _ say that I have had many assurances p of support from all parts of the State, and that I expect to make a clean and vigorous campaign for the _ office. I am not prepared avt this time p to announce my platform, but hope to be able to do so at an early date I will say, however, that I shall advo- _ vocate such principles as I believe to j? be for the best interests of the whole people of South Carolina." Mr. Sliealy was county treasurer for a number of years and is now _ serving his second term as clerk of jvi the court. He has never been defeated for any office to which he aspired, and it goes without saying that I10 will receive an overwhelming ?_ majority of the votes of Lexington county for railroad commissioner. His popularity in the State Is attested by the fact that he was elect- 1 ed president of the Clerks of Court's _ association of South Carolina at its r organization, and is now serving in the capacity. He was reared upon a farm in this county and, his father , having died when he was but a ? twelve-year-old boy, he was soon y thereafter forced to the position of assuming the duties and responstbili- | ties of the head of the family. Not- 1 withstanding this handicap, he has ? worked himself up to his present F position. 1 Mr. Shealy is a man of practical railroad experience, having worked on a Bocuon ror a number of years ? when but a mere boy Although he R has had no connection with any rail- i road for twenty odd years, he gained quite a valuable experience while he was so employed, which will doubt- ? less prove a great benefit to the peo- E pie of South Carolina should he be t elected railroad commissioner. ? ? I PRISONERS TO BE MOVED. * F Mexicans Held at Fort Bliss to be 1 i Sent to New Mexico. Orders were issued by the war de- s partment Monday transferring the Mexican prisoners held at Fort Bliss near El Paso Monday, to Fort Wingate, New Mexico. The war depart- _ ment believed it necessary to move p the prisoners further from the Mexican border In view of possible devel- , opments. The third squadron of the Twelfth _ cavalry now at Fort Meade, S. D., p will be sent to Fort Win gate to guard the prisoners. ( The Mexicans, soldiers and other refugees have been held at Fort Bliss _ since they fled across the border m seeking refuge on American soil after the battle of Ojinaga. The defeated federals, pursud by victorious Constiutioiialista, cross the Rio Grande and _ were rounded up by United States j, trnnnn Tlia T*ror? ? 1 .. A ?U nui kUiCUl lt3cVI'0Q that ho largo a colony of Mexicans near tho border might excite the Mexicans across the river and perhaps _ lead to an effort to liberate the prls- \i oners.

No sign of life was evident and the huge pile of bodies found in heaps at the bottom gave mute evidence of the courage- ous struggle of the miners for their F lives when they discovered that their escape had been cut off by the sweeping flames.
