THE PICKENS SENTINEL - Entered Apnl 23, 1903 at Pieckens. S. C. as second class mail ma-er. nnder oS PICKENS, S. C., MAY 7, 1914 on e South Am en have undertaken the g Mexico by dip loma r decisive- move in their requesting the Unit ed States vernment, General Huerta and General Carranza to appoint rep resentativies to confer with them in Washington. Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil and Ministers Naon '4nd Suarez of Argen tine and Chile, respectively, called on Secretary Bryan, asking him to de signate the American representatives. At the same time they telegraphed their requests to the head of the Gov ernment in Mexico City, as 'well as the Constitutionalist chief. No announcements of .the subjects to be considered by representatives of 7 the three parties to the mediation, or of the powers or functions of the new envoys was made except for. the fol -lowing brief statement issued through - the State Department on the authority o fthe three diplomats: "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 media tors." . The proposal to bring together spe cially designated representatives was the result of an all-day ses-Ion of the South Americda envoys. The sug gest 0 een made tothem from ,.-imous quarters that mucll time would be saved. The envoys felt confident the stey "they had taken wbuld meet with fa vor by all concerned, believing there could be no objection to a move cal - culated cheifly. to facilitate the pro gress of the work. Washington.-AssUranceS of peace, with a steady abatement of "war 'talk" was the dominant feature in Mexicain developments here. Atten tion stM was ce'ntered-on the work of the South American mediators, who reported steady progress and no dead lock between the parties. In other quarters, however, the failure of General barranza thus far to. accept themediators' proposal for a suspension of hostilities, caused continued doubt over the outlook for broadening the scope of the media tors' work to a- settlement of the wihole Mexican situation. The report that Dr. Edward Ryan, an American in the service of the United States Government, was about to be shot as a spy by Mexican Fed arals'at Zacatecas caused Serious ap - prehension through the day, but reas inrances as to Doctor Ryan came tirect from Huerta late in the day. While the gravity and the hopeful ness of the situation varied from hour to hour..the South American envoys kept- steadily at their work holding' two sessions at the Argentine Lega tion. Their long conference with Sec retary Bryan was followed by a con -fei-ence with the Spanish Ambassa dor Senor Riano, who represents the Huerta Government. The mediators] niade no announcement it was known they were expecting another ,definite development soon, which might lead to a statement later but its purport was not: disclosed. There was reason to believe, however, that it related to the atttude of Car ranza. Summing up what the mediators had accomplished, a'well-posted auth ,rity said it 'represented more aotu ally done In a given time ta ever had occurred In the histoy of inter-1 mediationU He specifek beinning dAwil 26, and continuing six days in olusive. First, acceptance et good offices by the Ua1ed States; easd, aceptance by Huerta; third, acceptance by Car-: ranza; fourth, suspension of hostil- , ties by the United States; Mith, Ss pension of hostilties by Huerta.
