Kerr, the American civil governor, who has enlisted the aid of Mexican offi- cials to act under his superintendence and in accordance with Mexican laws. After a morning enlivened by the marching to and fro of large bodies of American soldiers, saliors and ma- rines, the city resumed its normal and somewhat sleepy life, made more gay in the evening by the outdoor dinner parties at the numerous cafes and res- taurants, ied by music and sometimes by dancing. The American troops began their Sisembarkation from the transports esarly in the morning. Once on shore they were lined up along the docks and Lo the railroad yards and before neon 2ll had marched to the posts assigned to them in various parts of the city and its outlying suburbs. Marvel at Precision of Soldiers. As the various detachments swung into the streets, with their bands play- martial airs their flags flying, the natives appeared on their balconies or came out onto_ the sidewalks ‘and gazed with ied wonder at the ®olid ranks of brown-clothed men.

Mul- cahy was given a squad of three arm- ed men and instructed. to . seize the arms and ammunition, Led by Mulcahy, the men went to a gambling house, where Mulcahy in Spanish demanded money instead of arms and represented himself as a second- captain of police, The marines, not understanding the transaction, watched Mulcahy compel the opening of safes which proved to be empty, the cashier explaining that the funds had been turnea over to his employer, Pedro Nau. The cashier was thereupon forced lko conduct the party to the residence of Nau, from whom -money was de- manded. Nau handed over 5,000 pesos which Mulcahy carried to his hotel, where he dismissed the marines, On the following day Nau complain- ed to the provost marshal, after which detectives traced Muleahy, who was later arrested and placed in jail.

HUERTA TO ACCEPT OFFER OF PROPOSAL FOR ARMISTICE. Pending Efforts of Peace Envoys to Effect a Settlement. ‘Washington, April 30—General Hu- erta tonight accepted the proposal that there be no further hositlities between the United States and Mex- ico pending the efforts of the envoys of Argentina, Brazil and Chile to ‘bring about an amicable settlement of difficulties between the countries. ‘This was announced late today by Secretary Bryan after he had been in conference for two hours with the three South American diplomats at th Argentine legation. At the same time Mr. Bryan said he already formally had notifled the mediators that the American . government “took it for granted that there would be no hos- tilities during the mediation proceed- ings and had intended no further acts of aggression while the conferences were being held.” . No Word From .Carranza. ‘With these replies before them, the envoys were prepared to go ahead with their peace rules so far as the United States and the Huerta gov- ernment are concerned. = No word had come from General Carranza, _how- ever, concerning a proposed armistice between the constitutionalists and federals in Mexico. Upon the rebel chief's answer depends largely the plans of the mediators for undertaking a peaceful seftlement of the whole Mexican problem, internal strife as well as the differences between tha Thnited States and the Huerta regime. News from Chihuahua that Gener- al Carranza and General Villa were pushing ahead their southward move- ment and Preparing for a general at- tack upon Tampico threw a damper upon the hopes for peace between the ‘warring Mexican factions, Secretary Bryan . left the legation shortly before midnight and the three mediators continued their confer- ences.

Fugitives who have crossed the Mexican frontier into Guatemala from the Mexican town: of Tapachula, re- port that riots have occurred there during which the American flaz was grossly insulted. Some of the refugees declare taht attempts to massacre foreigners, re- xardless of natlonality, were avert- e donly by the prompt action of the ‘Mexican military commander at Tapachula, who placed the foreigners in prison and guarded them from the mob. Several large estates owned by foreign capitalists were abandoned by their managers who fled for their lives into Gutemala, where they found hos- pitable “welcome. Reguairs to ‘Replace Texas Troops. ‘Washington, April 30—Secrtary Gar- rison is preparing to _substitute fed- eral for the Texas state troops mow stationed at Brownsville. Heavy demands made upon the mobile army by the border patrol and the Vera Cruz expedition probably will make it nec- essary to draw the force from the coast-artillery. ' The Secretary suggested to Gov- ernor Colquitt the impracticability of e and state forces eeeking to op- #ate in the same territory under dif- ferent commands and the Governor agreed to withdraw the militia when regulars arrive. Step Towards Pan-Americanism. Buenos - Aires, Argentina, April 30.— Commenting on the mediation now proceeding between the United States and Mexico La Razon says today: | “The United gentina, Brazil and Chile signifies a great step taken by President Wilson and the democratic party towards Pan- Americanism.” The paper adds: “We believe the partisans of Theodore Roosevelt desired war and that Pres- ident Wilson saw the importance of | the historic moment and thus ratified Pan-Americanism.” Unofficial Report of Execution as Spy. | Washington, April 30.—Unosficial re- ports reaching Washington late tenight that Dr. Edward Ryan, an American in the service of the United States government looking after refugees, was to be executed as a spy at Mexieo City tomorrow morning, caused S in ‘behalf of Dr. Rvan to the Spani; ambassador, General Huerta's ro;w:‘-x | sentative here. g P 5 Refugees from West Coast of Mexico.

But ‘' the attitude. of Carranza on the cessation of hostilities was still unknown to- night. While no period has been set within which the negotiations must be concluded, Secretary Bryan said to- believed they would move for- “as rapidly as possible.” A re- port that they might be prolonged by the imediators- golng to Meéxico was met by the statement by one of them that in these days of the telegraph and cable such a journey was un- necessary, as they had every facility f:r speedy communication with Mex- 0. While the envoys were mnot yet ready to make any announcement, sev- eral interesting phases of what has come up during their discussion were learned from authoritative sources. During the day the intermediaries word of the encouraging at- of some of the foremost European powers notably Great Britain.. This was not conveyed in any formal adherence to the medi- ation work, but was not the less def- inite and satisfying as the resuit of r line. : 2 ‘While the mediators have not ap- pealed directly for the friendly in- fluence of European powers, as’their position does not warrant addressing foreign governments, yet their home governments have enlisted their am- bassadors and ministers at European capitals to secure friendly co-opera- tion from those quarters. The re- Sponses are in general encouraging, yet the difficulties still in the way of a settlement are recognized. Local canstitutionalists drew atten- tion to the language of the note from General Carranza as not accepting any offer to solve the differences between himself and General Huerta, but merely agreeing to listen to proposals which would resolve the differences between the United States and Mex- ico. In the note from e envoys to Carranza they extended “an offer of our good offices to all parties at in- terest in the problem of the pacifica- | tion of Mexico and the adjustment of the differences between Mexico and the United States.” Secretary - Bryan drove to the Ar- gentine legation shortly before 10 o'clock tonight and went into confer- ence with the three mediators.
