First, acceptance et good offices by the Uaited States; s d, accptance by Huerts; third, acceptmee by _Car ranza; four'th, suspension of hostili ties by the United States; flfth, sus *pension of host~ities by Huerta. .A sixth development, it ws 3f ed, would further emphasize/fwe was being done./ The Spanish -Ambassa .
