MEDIATORS ASK EUROPE 4% | TO HELP BRING “PEACE Bryan Phones to President and Cable © Carries Request to Huerta at Mexico City. § dis 2 WASHINGTON, April 29.—Ah armistice in the difficulties bet the United States and Mexico has been asked of this Government and Gen. Huerta by the South American envoys who have undertaken to avert war through mediation. Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil to-day notified Secretary Bryan that this had been determined upon as the next step in the: negotiations and that Gen. Huerta also had been notified. $4 The proposal for an armistice was communicated to President Wik son from the State Department by telephone. Though no announcement © has been made it was authoritatively learned that this Government would 8 accept the conditions provided assurances are given, that in addition to a ty halt in military operations, there would be no civil uprisings against Amer- ican citizens or other “untoward” incidents which might’ prevent peace®™ When Secretary of State Bryan was asked this afternoon about tte request of the envoys for an armistice, he said; “1 assume that there will be no hostilities during the mediation.” “ After an hour's conference to-day the mediation envoys, Mr. da Gama, Mr. Naon of Argentina and Mr. Suarez of Chili, determined that further me- gotiations necessarily must proceed without warlike interference, and Ale : bassador da Gama went to the State Departinent to acquaint Secretary _ Bryan of the course thus far taken fn the peace plans. The Brazilian Mim- ister in Mexico City also was notified and he communicated the information to Gen, Huerta. WILSON WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT. The communication addressed to both governments by the mediation envoys formally requests each government to declare an armistice. It was pointed out by offictals here that in all probability the United States would. accept the proposal, notwithstanding the fact that this Government has aot recognized that a state of war In Mexico exists in so far as the operations of the United States Government are concerned. Despite this fact, it was belleved that the Washington Government would not put any barriers in the path of the progress of mediation, particularly at such an early stage of negotiations. Officials here aleo believed that Gen. Huerta would ger — cept the first proposal The proposal for an armistice, it was also learned, does not include any reference to the Constitutionalists 1n Mexico, the United States and Huerta merely being called upon to cease active operations pending fur- ther mediation proposals. Consideration of the Cénstitutionalists’ post- tion, {t was stated, probably would be involved in the next step to be taken after an armistice has been agreed to by the principals to the present dif- ficulties.
