Villa or the United States troops have a chance. Several of the bandit troopers of Zapata galloped into the capital yee- terday and were cheered. In the event of an uprising it is believed Huerta could rely on but few of his regular troops or police. AMERICANS RUSH 10 SAFETY WHILE PEAGE TERMS ARE DISCUSSED (Continued from Fir from First Page.) morning published a statement of the attitude of the United States toward Mexico. This placed the United States in so different a light from that which rumor had caused that even the rioters were convinced of their mistake. Even the opposition newspapers followed the lead and upbraided those who took part in the demonstration. The great mass of Bolivian people are in sympathy with the policy of the United States.” Director John Barrett of the Pan-American Union said: “Cable messages indicate almost unanimous approval by the Latin- American press of the A BC plan of mediation. The consensus of their opinion seems to be that this action ia in many respects the most signifi- cant and far-reaching event in the history of American republics since the declaration of the Monroe Doctrine.” Ministers of all South and Central American countries have flocked to the support of the A. B. C. republics, and there has been remarkable display of Pan-American uaity and friendly co-operation to bring about eee venee ane eevee aware 0 eee Se eee ee sphere. ° While these republics have been engaged in diplomatic mediation, there has been an equally remarkable display of friendship for the United States by Great Britain. Its services consisted of direct action in helping to rescue suffering Americans from danger zones in Mexico. Ambassador Spring-Rice, in Washington; Minister Carden, in Mexico City, and Admiral Cradock, at Vera Crus, have been ceaseless in their efforts to give prompt assistance of the most practical kind. It was through British efforts more than anything elec that the refugee complica- tions in Mexico were straightened out and the release of detained residents obtained. A few weeks ago the Prime Minister of England squt word informally to President Wilson that the British nation entertained sentiments of the most friendly character for the American people. He added that when- ever opportunity arose the Government would endeavor to demonstrate that this expression was eiucere and of a practical sort. British activities of the past few days are regarded in Washington @s proving the bgt of this international friendship. In addition to as- rescuing American refugees, strong pressure has Narita Britieh pte rng in Mexico City upon Gen. him to accept the offer of mediation and to avold con- filct with the United States. In these representations the German Govern- ment has joined. ‘The next step in friendly mediation if the principals can be brought together will be to determine the method of procedure. When the United States tendered ite good offices to end the war between Japan and Russia 8 formal peace conference was held at Portsmouth, N. H., attended by envoys of the warring nations. It is doubtful whether such a course will be followed in this dispute. If precedents were followed strictly such a conference would have to be held om neutral territory, which would mean outside the United States. The British Embassy has received from Sir Lionel Carden, British Minister to Mexico, a telegram stating that Huerta has promised to give friendly consideration to any suggestion under the tender of friendly offices to settle ifferences with the United States. This is in answer to repre- sentations made to him by several European Governments. The telegram wants" ‘WORK ‘WONDERS. has been communicated to the State Department.

The pas- sengers said they saw Gen, Maas, former commandant at Vera Crus, and his men making their way further into the interior from Soledad. With him were the few cadets who escaped from the Naval Academy after the battle fought there in the second day's engagement. The American forces are tolerant of almost all Mexicans who eater their lines, and it is not improbable that any Mexican officer might with * lsafety openly enter and depart from the city. Rodrigo de Liano, a reporter of El Imparcial of Mexico City, came into Vera Cruz yesterday. He visited the American headquarters and eurveyed the entire field of operations without molestation. He plans to return to the capital with his story on the first train he can get to take him out. Rear-Admiral Fletcher last evening seized the piers, yards and build- ings of the Terminal Company, a British owned concern, control over which he regarded as necessary in order to facilitate the resumption of the normal business activity of the city. The Admiral had been endeavor- ing to rent the property, but could not come to an agreement with the managers as to the price to be paid. The management quoted a figure which the naval authorities consid- ered exorbitant and Admiral Fletcher ended the controversy by taking ad- | rei vantage of his powers under martial law and assuming possession of the property. The seizure was made with no other formality than the an- nouncement that Admiral Fletcher was in control of the property. Scout Aviator Bellinger reported to Rear-Admiral Badger last night, after feconnoitering | over Vera Cruz and vicinity, that he had located Gen. HUERTISTAS TRYING TO ENLIST REBELS TO FIGHT "GRINGOES' a nad Admiral Mayo Praised for Not Sending American Ships | After Tampico Refugees. | WASHINGTON, April 28.—Admiral Mayo reported to the Navy Depi ment to-day that the Federals at Tampico are making further over- tures to the Constitutionalists, hop- ing to secure a combination of forces against the United States. This ts being done despite the fact that fight- ing between the two factions is atill going on and there bas been heavy firing on both sides. Admiral Mayo reported that Major Clark of the British Royal Marines, aboard the British cruiser Hermione, has gone to Orunge Hill, forty miles | from Tampico, to bring in American refugees. Upon receipt of these messages the} Secretary of the Navy took occasion to defend the course of Admiral Mayo | in handling refugees at Tampico. Mayo has been severely criticized by | refugees now In Galveston, who ac- | cuse him of having “left them in the lurch,” Senator Fall yesterday made public several telegrams of protest. In explaining why Admiral Mayo himaself did not go to Tampico for refugees the Secretary said: “On the day of the fall of Vera Crus Admiral Craddock of the British Navy offered to go into Tampico, where! 9x12 ft.

Realizing that the pres- ence of Atherican sailors in Tampico regularly 37.50 might cause trouble, Admiral Mayo accepted Admiral Craddock's offer, It was a wise thing for Mayo to do, for Instead of starting fresh trouble at Tampico it avoided further disturb- ance." The Secretary received word from Vera Cruz to-day that no ship would be sent at this time to the Yucatan district for refugees for fear such an action would stir up anti-American demonstrations. Admiral Mayo further reported that the Spanish steamer Montevideo had galled for Cruz from Tampico with refugees. Admiral Mayo expects thirty-seven more American refugees at Tampico to-morrow, —— TORREON AND DURANGO QUIET, REFUGEES SAY Trainload of Americans Reaches El Paso Without Consul, Who Turned Back.

The Mexican Colonel commanding the place admitted that jarge number of the other prisoners were incarcerated for the purpose of being impressed into Huerta’s army. Among those were old, feeble and crippled men. All were released except such as had been convicted of erimes. ‘The fortress is one of the oldest on this continent.
