Washington, April LMJ.?-Spanish
Ambassador RIano announced late to?
night that he had received private ad?
vices from Mexico City stating that
Gon. Huerta had accepted the offer of
Argentina. Brasil and Philo to use i
their good offices to bring about an {
amicable settlement of the difficulty
between the United States and Mex?
ico.
This information, though unofficial,
was accepted ag authentic by the am?
bassador, who expects to he prepar?
ed to place Gen. Huerta's formal ac?
ceptance before the representatives of
the three South American countries
tomorrow.
Announcement of plans necessarily
Is dependent on Gen. llucrta's lirst
reply.
Well posted members of the diplo?
matic corps were of the opinion to?
night that Huerta would accept the
j proposal of good offices, and that the
acceptance, in principle at least, would
not be long deferred.
Secretary Bryan was visited at his
' home during the day by the peace
envoys. Mr. Pryan afterwards com?
municated tho visit's nature to the
White House.
The interests of the Huerta gov?
ernment In the United states were
taken over by the Spanish embassy
when Charge Algara left Washington.
Vmbassador Piano received the offer
of good offlcbs from the throe peace
envoys last night; after tho offer had
been accepted by President Wilson,
u was cabled Immediately to the
Spanish minister at Mexico City and
by him presented to President Huer?
ta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand, the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intimation
of the nature of which as yet has been
given, it generally lias been under?
stood here, however, that the peace
envoys exp c to deal directly with
the situation created by the Tamplco
incident and other offenses against
the honor and dignity of the United
States, hoping to bring about a poacc
i ful settlement.
Administrativ officials appeared to
ho much gratified at the prospect of
having the proposals of the great
South American republics listened to
by Gon, Huerta. Until tin* nature of
the plan is known no officer of the ad?
ministration will make any comment.
Reports from the east and west
? oasts of Mexico by Admirals Badger
and Howard described energetic ef?
forts, not only of the American navy,
but all foreign officials to assist refu?
gees in leaving.
i Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
conferred early about the rank of of?
ficers who will be in charge ^of the
Joint operations of the army and navy
laround Vera Cruz. War department
officials busied themselves with prep?
arations for :? possible call for volun?
teers undor the new volunteer militia
law.
Admiral Badger wired that commu?
nication between Vera Cruz, and Mex?
ico City was irregular; that an out?
post of .Mexican federals eight miles
away refuse to permit linemen to re?
pair the cable. Pater tonight the
j break In communication between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City will em?
barrass the sending of messages by
j tho three South American diplomats
j to their representatives In Mexico
City, there Is another line of com?
munication Via Ballna Cruz and Pacific
coast cable, which can be utilized in
I a n omergency,
Secretary Pryan requested the Bra?
silien embassy- to endeavor through
the Brasilien legation in Mexico city
to obtain the release of some It0 Amer?
ican rofugees reported by American
Consul Canada as having been taken
j fron, a train at AgUOS Calicntes and
held by Mexican soldiers. The infor?
mation that they ware held was
, brought to Vera Cruz by Alfred
Docrr, monngcr of tho American
Smelting & Refining company works
i at Aguah I 'a 1 lent es.
Rear Admiral Howard, at Mazat
,l.in. reported to the navy department,
denying a rumor that Guaymas had
been taken by American forces. Ho
said tho gunboats Vorktown and New
Orleans were there. He reported too
that steamer Glacier had sailed with
38 Americans, the Kngltsh steamer
t'ltrlona, had lofl for Manxantllo with
refugees, and that tho German gov?
ernment had chartered the Mexican
steamer Mnxatlan t" take off refu?
gees.
Secretary Daniels later said ail
seemed quiet on the west coast, lie
has given orders that the care of r? I
11gees shall be of first Importance i'>
the movement of the ships on tint
eoast.
Pear Admii'ul Mnyo, at Tamplco,
s?nt word to ihe navy department i
that it had been difficult tor him to 1
get information about conditions i>> 1
the city, all his Vissel? h iving been i
withdrawn to the roadstead.
Discussing I tear Admiral Fletcher's
declaration of martial law, Secretary
Daniels said every effort had been i
made to restore order under civil mu?
nicipal authorities. ;
"The president and !?" said Mr.
Daniels,, " have every confidence In .
Admiral Fletcher's judgment. We feel
that In declaring martial law he has
exhausted other means ?>f keeping or?
der." I?
Itcar Admiral Fletcher cabled tin- i
der date of 10 p. in., last night as fol- i
Iowa:
"Again conferred with mayor and
local Officials relative to the renewal
of shooting at our men and informed
them that it had to stop and that
orders had been given for extreme!
measures to be taken tonight if a sin?
gle shot is fired; also of the procla?
mation requiring every one in Vera
CruS to hand in all weapons before 1
o'clock tomorrow (Sunday) under se?
vere penalty."
The admiral also endeavored to re?
establish the municipal government.
The mayor announced that the city
council had met and the departments
of health and education, water, street
cleaning and lighting would resume
their operations. He said, however,
that "the department of police can
not consistently resume its functions
under present conditions."
Secretary of State Bryan said that
reports from the Mexican border
were encouraging. He said in rebel
territory there were no anti-Amcican
I demonstrations and that northern
Mexico appeared friendly.
The war department refused to
give Qov. Hunt of Arizona munitions
to arm border citizen^ against possi
bje invasions, and telegraphed the
governor that the brigade of in-1
I fantry due in Arizona today from the
Pacific coast would suffice for border
I guards.
Secretary Garrison announced that
he would not reveal the orders to
troops on route to Vera Cruz until
their arrival, that the First Battallou
of the Fourth held artillery had got?
ten away today on the transport Sal
tillo and That the rest would go soon
on the San Marcos.
j While the beginning of peace par?
leys did not affect war and navy de?
partment activities, it did introduce l
i hopeful feeling into the situation.
Administration otiicials (cared Hucrti
would not listen to peace propoeali
now. but there was a unanimity of
I
feeling that the period of negotiation
would be a life saver for Americans
I trying to rtach points of safety.
Otiicials realize, too, that even
though the first efforts of the South
American envoys may not succeed,
the means of com mi nication which il
opens for the discussion of peace at
,.111>- future time would be Invaluable.
The three envoys admit the deli?
cacy of their task, but are optimistic.
They believe lluerta will accept the
first steps. They are anxious that
their effort may include a settlement
of the winde Mexican problem. They
i
I take the view, however, that they
have not been committed in advance
to any line of procedure, in par?
ticular they resent published reports
that the underlying purpose of their
good offices was to bring about the
elimination of lluerta.
Thus far their efforts have been
directed solely to adjusting differ?
ences between the United States and
the lluerta government They have
opened no negotiations with the con?
stitutionalists, but the latter have
been informed by their junta here of
the developments in the parleys.
