" WAR TALK UNDER BAN Armistice Exists in MaxicflL Crisis. " KWAITS THEIR CONSENT Mediation Plan Now Hinges on Decision of Villa and Carranza. LR R R R R R + + b Montevideo, April 29.—The < Uruguayan minister of foreign + affairs conferred with the presi- < dent of the republic in regard 4 to the Mexican situation. It *+ was decided that Uruguay + should lend its support to the <+ mediation of Argentina, Brazil <% and Chile, between the United <+ States and Mexico. - R R e LR R R R R R R Washington, April 29.—Mediation walts now upon Carranza and Villa while the United States and Huerta mark time. Even the preliminaries can go no further until the “principle” of media- tion, a term employed by Secretary Bryan, is accepted by the third party to the proceeding. That third party at present is constituted of Villa and Curranza. If reports of a split be- tween the two Constitutionalist lead- ers are true there may be four parties to mediation. Unless an overt act comes from Huerta or the Constitutionalists a vir- tual armistice in the Mexican trouble may exist for a week or more. The whole situation is now in some- what unstable condition and may very eanily be transformed again into act- ual conflict. Such an occurrence the United States is earnestly desirous of pre- venting. It will take no military steps of aggression, unless compelled to do 8o by Huerta, until mediation fails definitely. Name Conditions Next. The acceptance by the United States and Huerta are preliminary to conditions that will be named by each, as soon as the mediators are ready to receive proposals. It is expected that if an acceptance comes from the constitutionalists, they also will have conditions to pro- pose. , Thus three sets of demands will be laid before the South American diplo- mats, after which the real tug of war will begin. The task of reconciling widely divergent demands will be her- culean, perhaps impossible. While the next few days may be bereft of dramatic events in the Mexi- can trouble, they will be no less im- Jortant than any period that has pre- ceded them. A blg experiment Is being tried out, and during the trial it is not likely that the public in either country will get much information as to what is going on behind the diplomatic doors. The situation now is far too delicate for exposure to public discussion and cizmor. It must be handled in an at- t.iosphere where no martial talk per- vades. No exact method of proceedure has Leen adopted by the mediators and in Just what manner negotiations will be conducted has not been determined. Three Not Arbitrators. “The three mediators are not arbi- tiators. Their only real function is to convey to the various parties concern- ed the conditions suggested by each. Decision as to these conditions rests with the individual parties and not with the mediators, who are not em- powered to make any decisions or findings. Mediation is necessary, if the Unit. ed States and Huerta are to negotiate &t all, because both having dismissed ench other's representatives it is im- possible for them even to talk to each cther. Therefore, a third party must act virtually as a carrier of messages, between them. The mediators, spurred by sneers fa the European press, are doubly anx: ious' to make a success of their mis.’ sion. Among the plans which it is said they may propose is the estab- lishment of a sort of temporary poli- tical protectorate in Mexico, with a period during cease and plans be devised for a con- stitutional election. DESTROY SEVERAL TOWNS Trail of Destruction Left Behind Fed. eral Forces. Tex., April 29.—Mexican Laredo, federals retreating from Nuevo La-' redo, after dynamiting the border city left a trail of destruction behind them, according to a train crew arriv.} ing here with the abandoned troop trains used by the federals in their ' fiight. ; ‘The towns of Sanchez and Le Jarita were completely destroyed, they re- ported, and the inhabitants have fled to the hills. The Constitutionalist commander of Nuevo Laredo, Mex., reported to the American authorities here that the federal troops, who Friday evacu- ated the town, were trying to reach the Rio Grande above Laredo, United, States troops at Minera were orderei to be on the alert.

CLEARING AWAY WRECKAGE Considerable Damage Done by Shellg at Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz, April 29.—The medical department of the military govern- ment has begun clearing away the wreckage in the naval academy where firing occurred, especially on the day after the landing of the American forces. = The building was damaged by shells from the ships, many window case- ments being torn away by rifle and machine gun fire. Despite the damage much of the contents of the building can be used. The cadets’ bedding, clothing and| crockery will be placed at the disposal of the officials of the charity hospital. TROOPS ON THE ALERT Federals Seek to cross_mmrder. REPULSED BY REBELS Forces Responsible for Destruc- tion of Nuevo Laredo Are Turned Back. Washington, April 29.—Two federal generals and their commands, who were driven back by Constitutional- ists from the southern part of the state of Nuevo Leon, are attempting ta cross the United States border about thirteen miles above Laredo, Tex., according to a state department report. It is supposed here that these fed- erals are part of the command which dynamited Nuevo Laredo a few days ago when it was feared they would destroy the .international bridge be- tween the Mexican town and Laredo, Tex. They afterwards left for the south to join other federal forces supposed to be operating between Nuevo Lare- do and Monterey. FEDERALS MOVING INLAND Apparently Do Not Want to Clash -With Americans. Vera Cruz, April 29.—That President Huerta has decided not to attempt to try conclusions with the American forces near Vera Cruz is indicated by a report brought to the city by pas. sengers arriving from the outlying districts. The passengers said they saw General Maas, former comman- dant at Vera Cruz, and his men mak- ing their way farther into the interior trom Soledad. With him were the few cadets wha escaped from the naval academy after thc battle fought there in the second day's engagement. [The American forces are tolerant of almost all Mexicans who enter their lines and it is not improbable that any Mexican officer might with safety openly enter and depart from the city.

The number of troops will be decid- ed upon in a conference between the president and Secretary of War Gar- rison. President Wilson’s first caller was Senator Thomas of Colorado, who dis- cussed the situation. The president and Secretary of War Garrison then went into conference. - The president received a report from Chairman Foster of the house mine committee that his interview with John D. Rockefeller, Jr. failed to relieve the situation. BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZING Propose to Resist Strikers at the Hecla Mine, Boulder, Colo, April 29.—Aroused by the attack on the Hecla mine, near Louisville business men of Boulder and Longmont were organizing .vol- unteer companies to move against the strikers, provided the peace commis- sion sent out by the county commis- sloners failed to persuade them to ;end the fighting and maintain order. Hardware dealers at the two towns have turned over their stock of arms and ammunition. Arrangements were made with the Colorado and Southern railroad to move the volunteers to Louisville. The strikers are reported to be ad- vancing through a railroad cut to the. west of the Hecla mine into close,| quarters. No report has come from: Sheriff Buster at the mine since. shortly before 8 o’clock as al} tele phone and tlegraph wires are. down. Sheriff Buster declared that a machine gun at the mine would not be used unless - the strikers attempted to storm the mine enclosure.
