“HERALD’S” CORRESPONDENTS DESCRIBE INCIDENTS OF MEXICAN CRISIS IN SPECIAL CABLEGRAMS
V RELIEVED B¥
ARIY AT VERA CRUZ
General Funston’s Brigade Lands from
Transports, and Troops March
into the City.
GENERAL HUERTA’S THREATS.
TBV COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. Hamilton
Peltz, cabling from Vera Cruz, says: —
General B’unston, on arrival this
morning with the army transports,
found a perfectly tranquilized city.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has issued a pro
clamation expressing his gratification,
and all business is being resumed. Good
order prevails in Yera Cruz. The ad
miral announces that hereafter citizens
may pass freely through the streets
both by night and day, resuming their
usual customs. Until now persons in
the streets after 7.30 p.m. were chal
lenged.
The transport Kilpatrick, with Gen
eral Funston on board, entered the har
bor at seven o’clock this morning, fol
lowed by other transports. As the
troops marched into the city they were
cheered lustily by the few Americans,
■while the native population stolidly
gazed at the unusual spectacle.
The embargo on Americans leaving
Mexico City has been lifted. A com
mittee, headed by Mr. C. R. Hudson,
vice-president of the National Railways,
has been named to arrange for the de
parture of the several hundred who yet
remain in the capital.
The small number of Americans who
arrived from Mexico City yesterday,
under German and British passports,
report that General Huerta recently
visited the office of the “Imparcial,” the
Government organ, and chatted with
the newspaper editors. He said: “Wait
until the ‘Gringoes’ have invaded the
interior of the country. Then you’ll get
a taste of real warfare. We are getting
ready for them.”
General Huerta is said to have re
newed his assurance that nothing short
of death itself would make him resign.
He threatened, if the worst came, to
imitate Juarez, put the Constitution in
his saddle-bag and carry the seat of
Government with him to the interior.
A picked force of the “Brigade of the
Supreme Power” has been organized to
meet just such a contingency and is now
part of the garrison of Mexico City.
Despite the large exodus from Vera
Cruz in steamships and trains, the city
is greatly overcrowded with navy and
army officers, newspaper correspondents
and refugees from Mexico City.
The ice factory is still out of commis
sion, as it has no ammonia, but the
plant is being repaired. There is plenty
of fish. The temperature is 37.8deg.

PRISONERS RELEASED FROM

Men Come Out Alive from San Juan de
Ulua Fortress.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. S. A.
Smith, special correspondent of the
Herald at Yera Cruz, cables: —
The iron gates of the grim San Juan
de Ulua fortress opened to-day and, as
rarely has happened in its history, men
came out alive, blinking in the sunlight.
The released prisoners include Senor
Fernando Iglesias Calderon, of Monte
rey, a well-known Mexican Liberal,
Senor Julio Serrano, Senor Herberto
Casas and others who had been impri
soned without charges.
The release was voluntary on the part
of the commander of the fortress,
Colonel Aurelio Vigil, who hauled down
the Mexican flag and surrendered his
sword.

MESSAGE
Official Circles Are Now More Opti
mistic that Peaceful Settlement
Will Prove Possible.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. J. K. Ohl
telegraphs from Washington as follows :
Senor de Riano, the Spanish Ambas
sador, formally notified Mr. Bryan this
morning of the receipt of General
Huerta’s acceptance of mediation.
The Diplomatic representatives of the
mediatory Powers immediately commu
nicated with General Carranza, asking
whether he would receive a communica
tion from them. He has not yet re
plied, but it is believed he will accede
to the request.
It is understood that General Huerta’s
acceptance assumes that the overtures
from Argentina, Brazil and Chile imply
constructive recognition of the present
Mexican Government by the three Gov
ernments and suggests that the media
tors form a commission of six, these six to
select the arbitrator.
There is a more optimistic feeling in
official circles over the possibility of a
settlement. The greatest possibility of
trouble lies in the handling of the Con
stitutionalists, who are expected to insist
that any settlement must recognize the
revolution as successful and permit the
revolutionary army from the north to
enter the capital.
While the mediators maintain secrecy
as to their programme, I have good
reason to believe that they intend to
proceed without giving very much con
sideration at this time to the Carranz-
ists, relying upon the United States to
handle them should they become recal
citrant.
Two events contributed to-day to a
marked lessening of the anxiety over
the fate of Americans still in Mexico.
Rear-Admiral Mayo reported from Tam
pico that the commander of the British
cruiser Hermione had sent Major Clark,
with a contingent of marines, forty
miles inland and brought eight Ameri
cans safely out of the danger zone.
The Brazilian Ambassador has notified
the State Department that General
Huerta has given renewed assurances
to the Brazilian Minister in Mexico City
that Americans will be given every pro
tection.
It now seems probable that every Ame
rican has been got out of Mexico with
out harm.
SENOR DE ROJAS, MEXICAN MINISTER
01 FOREIGN ATfAIRS.
THE SITUATION IN
MEXICO AT A GLANCE.
Washington, through the agency of the
Spanish Embassy, has been officially notified
of General Huerta’s acceptance of the offer
of mediation made by the “A.B.C.”
Powers.
Optimism prevails that a peaceful settle
ment will be reached, but it is recognized
that trouble may now come from the Con
stitutionalists, who, it is thought, may ask
recognition of the revolution as successful
and claim the right to march into Mexico
City.
The prompt acceptance of mediation by
the United States has produced an excellent
impression in South America, where it is
taken as proof of President Wilson’s de
claration that the United States does not
aim at a war of conquest.
While diplomatists are busy in Washing
ton, depatches from the “Herald’s” special
staff correspondents in Mexico, who are
keeping the world in hourly touch with the
march of events, bring reassuring news of
the safety of Americans in the troubled
republic.
General Funston's brigade has been
landed at Vera Cruz, and the army has
replaced the navy in the occupation of the
city and the maintenance of order.
Vera Cruz is now a changed town. Yes
terday, the gates of the grim old fortress
of San Juan de Ulua were opened, and men
came out alive, a thing that has rarely
happened in the history of the Mexican
dungeon, the commander voluntarily haul
ing down the Mexican flag and surrender
ing his sword.

Rebels Endeavoring to Change Public
Opinion.
Yera Crtjz, Tuesday.—The friendlier
attitude noticeable toward foreigners in
the capital during the last two days is
said to be due in part to the rebel sup
porters, who are endeavoring to change
public opinion.
They circulated handbills requesting
people to join in a big parade in evi
dence of disapproval of General Huerta’s
attitude and to indicate friendliness to
Americans.
This parade took place on Saturday
with the permission of General Huerta.
This is construed as an indication of
the weakening of his power.
Refugees report that the rebels are
gaining ground near the capital.
Four hundred Federals wounded at
points close to Mexico City have been
brought into the capital. It is unknown
where a battle is in progress.
Some of the refugees say that, follow
ing the demonstration. General Huerta
hid in a foreign Legation, fearing assas
sination.
It is reported that General Yelasco,
who has been twice wounded, arrived at
Mexico City from Torreon witli a small
band of survivors, including 400 wound
ed. He left General Pena dead on the
field.—Reuter.
Losses in Battle of Monterey.
Brownsville, Tex., Tuesday.—A hun
dred rebels were killed and two hundred
wounded at the taking of Monterey.
The Federals lost three hundred.
The British flag has been hoisted over
the American Consulate. Mr. Hanna
announced that the new United States
flag, to take the place of the one torn
down, could not be raised without pro
per ceremonies.—Reuter.
MEXICAN REPLY IS
DISCUSSED BY MEDIATORS.
Answer Is Debated by Ministers in
Washington.
Washington, Tuesday.—The Note pre
sented by Senor Rojas, Mexican Min
ister for Foreign Affairs, to Senor Riano,
the Spanish Ambassador, expressing
General Huerta’s willingness to accept
the good offices of the South American
representatives, was at once transmitted
to the Ministers in question, who dis
cussed far into the night the next move.
Neither Senor Riano nor the media
tors made public the text of the accept
ance. It is stated, however, that Senor
Rojas’ message was brief, accepting the
offer and thanking the South American
Ministers for their good offices, with a
reference to “the real spirit of soli
darity between peoples of the same
race.”
Apart from expressing pleasure at
Mexico’s acceptance of the offer, Pre
sident Wilson has made no comment.
White House officials have made it
known that he is desirous of aiding the
mediators, and nothing of the Govern
ment’s demands or anything which
might embarrass the peacemakers- will
be made public at the present moment.

the decisions of the mediators may also
indirectly solve the internal problem.
It is a fact that various revolutionary
chiefs are still in negotiation with the
Government and that some of them have
already come to an agreement. These
are the chiefs of the bands fighting in
the States bordering upon the capital,
but deep mystery cover’s the intentions
or the actions of the Revolutionaries in
the North.
Nothing seems to he imminent. The
Government, seeing that the Americans
do not advance, is again turning all
its attention to the internal struggle.
So far. General Huerta has on his side
the military element which still forms
a solid nucleus of organization. While
defending General Huerta, the army
defends its own life.
In the event of reverses, which are by
no means impossible, we may see the
final struggle brought to the gates of the
capital, the defence of which would be
shared by the Indian hordes, who only
the other day were in revolt in the neigh
borhood. It is a terrible prospect.
To-day the capital looks as if nothing
had happened except for the fluttering
of flags which persists, chiefly owing to
the care of the foreigners, who are pro
digal with Mexican flags attached even
to the carriages as though to exorcise
any possible outbreak of animosity.
The Americans who have remained and
who are only waiting for trains to enable
them to flee, display flags of all nationali
ties, even on their clothes. Last night
the cinematograph theatres were
crowded.
MEDIATORS’ DECISION MAY
SOLVE MEXICAN PROBLEMS.
May Provide Settlement Between Fe
derals and Rebels.
(Special Despatch to the “Daily Telegraph" from
Mr. Luigi Barzini.)
Mexico City, Monday. — This evening
the Government states that the media
tion of the South American Republics
has been accepted by the two parties.
Special editions of the newspapers are
spreading the news, which is received
with relief, as a conviction prevails that
MEXICO WANTS COMMISSION
TO NAME AN ARBITRATOR.
Would Have European Powers Assist
“A.B.C.” Mediators.
TBY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The Herald’s
correspondent in Mexico City cables that
mediation will be accepted by General
Huerta if the three nations recognizing
the Mexican Government form a com
mission, the six mediators to name an
arbitrator.
The city is calm.
The correspondent means if Great Bri
tain, France and Germany join the
“A B C” Powers.
General Huerta’s View of Mediation.
New York, Tuesday.—The morning
newspapers print the reply of General
Huerta to the question as to whether
he would accept mediation. It is given
as follows: —
“The Republic of Mexico has always
fulfilled its international’ obligations and
will defend at any risk her rights
trampled under foot by the Government
of the United States.”—Reuter.
Britain Given Text of Proposal.
[BY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Wednesday.—Mr. W. H.
Page, the American Ambassador, has
communicated to the Foreign Office here
the text of the proposal for mediation by
Argentina, Brazil and Chile, together
with Mr. Bryan’s reply.
Acceptance of Mediation Offer Pleases Latin America
Newspapers Declare Action of United
States Has Dispelled Fears of
Imperialism.
TBY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The Herald’s
Buenos Aires correspondent cables : —
The general opinion in South. America
is favorably impressed by the acceptance
of the mediation offer of the “A.B.C.”
Powers.
“La Naqion” (Buenos Aires).
The newspaper “La Na9io n ” recalls
that the “A.B.C.” Powers settled the
conflict in Peru and says: “The accept
ance of the offer will improve the rela
tions between the United States and
Latin America. Mr. Wilson has con
firmed the truth of his declaration that
he does not aim at a war of conquest.”
“Gaceta de Buenos Aires.”
The “Gaoeta de Buenos Aires” says:
“The acceptance has dispelled the fear of
American Imperialism. Mediation, even
if it fails, will show the world that there
are down south nations with sufficient
energy to have some influence in inter
national politics.”
“Diario de la Plata” (Montevideo).
The Montevideo “Diario de la Plata,”
which is owned by the former Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, Senor
Bacchini, blames President Wilson for
his utterances against General Huerta
and says: “Weak republics should be
watchful not to approve American Im
perialism.”
“O Paiz” (Rio de Janeiro).
The Rio de Janeiro “O Paiz” says:
“The action of President Wilson is a
good sign for the friends of peace.”
Other newspapers also applaud the
adoption of the mediation offer.
President of Cuba Hopes for Peace.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The President
of Cuba has cabled to the New York
Herald from Havana as follows: —
“The acceptance of the good offices
which Argentina, Brazil and Chile have
offered to avoid war, and to which the
Republic of Cuba adheres, will certainly
have the effect of suspending the influ

New York, Tuesday. — Mr. J. S.
Stewart-Richardson, the Herald’s cor
respondent on board the battleship New
York, has sent the following wireless
message via the Herald’s station at The
Battery :—
With her new complement operating
smoothly, as well as untried engines, the
new super-Dreadnought New York,
Rear-Admiral Winslow’s flagship, is
shaping a course from Newport to
Hampton Roads, where she will take on
supplies and a small force of men.
Before leaving Newport torpedoes
were stowed on hoard and special crews
were also taken for handling them.
The New York’s speed is sixteen

and the motion is steady.
BRITISH ADMIRAL PROMISED
TO RECEIVE ALL AMERICANS.
Mr. Daniels Explains Departure of
Battleship from Tampico.
Washington, Tuesday.—In regard to
reports from Tampico that American citi
zens there were indignant because of the
departure of the American battleships
from the river, the Secretary of the
Navy, Mr. Daniels, said to-day that this
action had been taken after Admiral
Cradock informed Admiral Mayo that he
would undertake to receive Americans
from Tampico aboard the Hermione and
transfer them to the Des Moines upon
the American vessels taking up a position
at sea.
This arrangement, it was thought,
would make anti-American demonstra
tions in Tampico less likely.
“I will go in and bring the refugees to
you,” the British admiral said to Admi
ral Mayo.—Daily Telegraph.
AMERICAN ADMIRAL SEIZES
BRITISH FIRM’S PROPERTY.
Considering Rental Exorbitant, Admi
ral Fletcher Takes Over Buildings.
Yera Cruz, Tuesday.—Being unable
to reach an agreement with the Ter
minal Company, a British firm, for the
use of certain piers, yards and buildings
deemed necessary by the Americans for
the resumption of normal business,
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has seized the
property in question.
It is stated that he considered the
rental asked for exorbitant. Mr. W.
Morcom, the president of the Terminal
Company, afterwards called on Rear-
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, who
advised him to present a claim to the
Foreign Office.
Prior to the seizure, which was made
without any further formality than the
announcement of Admiral Fletcher’s de
cision, one of the chief officials of the
company had the British flag raised over
the water station yards, under the im
pression that this might prevent the
Americans seizing the property.
It is stated that Rear-Admiral Flet
cher has taken over the property under
the rights conferred by martial law.
Most of the stock of the company is
owned by the Mexican Interoceanic
Railroad.—Reuter.
Britain Justifies Admiral’s Act.
fBY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Wednesday.—The view taken
in official circles in London, says Reuter,
is that the existence of martial law fully
justified Admiral Fletcher in his action,
and that the hoisting of the British flag
has no practical bearing upon the mat
ter. The company’s claim for compensa
tion will be settled later on by negotia
tion with Washington in the ordinary
course.
TRAIN BRINGS REFUGEES TO
VERA CRUZ FROM CAPITAL.
President of Bolivia’s Message.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The President
of Bolivia has cabled to the New York
Herald from La Paz as follows: —
“The present conflict may he satis
factorily solved through the agency of
the mediatory Powers, with the under
standing that the practical initiative
comes from the Secretary of State, Mr.
Bryan, according to diplomatic custom,
consisting in the appointment of an in
ternational investigating commission
which is made fully acquainted with the
subject and acts with the agreement of
both sides.”
Convoy Proceeds Under British and
German Flags.
Washington, Tuesday.—Advices from
Mr. Canada, the American Consul at
Vera Cruz, state that a train arrived
there from the capital yesterday even
ing under the British and German flags.
It carried twenty-six Americans, thirty-
one British subjects and ninety-two
Mexicans.
Mr. Canada reports that Americans
conditions are improving. He adds that
Mr. James McDonald, manager of the
in the capital are unharmed, and that
Guanajuato Mining Company, and
twenty employes of the company are
being held prisoners at Guanajuato.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has suspended
the newspaper “La Union,” a Vera

attack in its columns on General Maas.

[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
Hong-Kong, Tuesday.—The British
steamship Taion was attacked by pirates
about midnight last night at the en
trance to the West River, not far from
Macao.
Captain Weatherall faced the pirates
as they were ascending to the bridge,
shooting two of them. Thereupon, the
gang fled, setting fire to the ship as
they went.
The vessel was quickly enveloped in
flames. The captain and eight of the
crew jumped overboard. They were
picked up by the steamship Hosiang,
which was just behind, and brought to
Hong-Kong. Other vessels, on their way
to Hong-Kong, stood by the burning
Taion, and rescued 158 passengers or
men of the crew. One hundred and

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH
IS STEADILY IMPROVING.,
Monarch’s Features Have Regained
Their Natural Color, and He Ap
pears Bright and Alert.
[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
Vienna, Tuesday.—Despite perpetual
reports of an alarmist nature spread
about for Bourse purposes, Emperor
Francis Joseph is steadily and continu
ously improving.
The Emperor says he feels well and he
appears so, as his natural color, absent
during the past fortnight, has returned
to his cheeks. Yesterday the aged ruler
refused to obey the suggestions of the
doctors regarding speaking, and worked
and conversed all day long, with the re
sult that his sleep was disturbed once or,
twice toward daybreak by coughing .
Nevertheless the Emperor to-day is
bright and alert. The doctor said if he
would relinquish smoking he would live
a long time.

“HERALD’S” CORRESPONDENTS DESCRIBE INCIDENTS OF MEXICAN CRISIS IN SPECIAL CABLEGRAMS
V RELIEVED B¥
ARIY AT VERA CRUZ
General Funston’s Brigade Lands from
Transports, and Troops March
into the City.
GENERAL HUERTA’S THREATS.
TBV COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. Hamilton
Peltz, cabling from Vera Cruz, says: —
General B’unston, on arrival this
morning with the army transports,
found a perfectly tranquilized city.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has issued a pro
clamation expressing his gratification,
and all business is being resumed. Good
order prevails in Yera Cruz. The ad
miral announces that hereafter citizens
may pass freely through the streets
both by night and day, resuming their
usual customs. Until now persons in
the streets after 7.30 p.m. were chal
lenged.
The transport Kilpatrick, with Gen
eral Funston on board, entered the har
bor at seven o’clock this morning, fol
lowed by other transports. As the
troops marched into the city they were
cheered lustily by the few Americans,
■while the native population stolidly
gazed at the unusual spectacle.
The embargo on Americans leaving
Mexico City has been lifted. A com
mittee, headed by Mr. C. R. Hudson,
vice-president of the National Railways,
has been named to arrange for the de
parture of the several hundred who yet
remain in the capital.
The small number of Americans who
arrived from Mexico City yesterday,
under German and British passports,
report that General Huerta recently
visited the office of the “Imparcial,” the
Government organ, and chatted with
the newspaper editors. He said: “Wait
until the ‘Gringoes’ have invaded the
interior of the country. Then you’ll get
a taste of real warfare. We are getting
ready for them.”
General Huerta is said to have re
newed his assurance that nothing short
of death itself would make him resign.
He threatened, if the worst came, to
imitate Juarez, put the Constitution in
his saddle-bag and carry the seat of
Government with him to the interior.
A picked force of the “Brigade of the
Supreme Power” has been organized to
meet just such a contingency and is now
part of the garrison of Mexico City.
Despite the large exodus from Vera
Cruz in steamships and trains, the city
is greatly overcrowded with navy and
army officers, newspaper correspondents
and refugees from Mexico City.
The ice factory is still out of commis
sion, as it has no ammonia, but the
plant is being repaired. There is plenty
of fish. The temperature is 37.8deg.

PRISONERS RELEASED FROM

Men Come Out Alive from San Juan de

[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. S. A.
Smith, special correspondent of the
Herald at Yera Cruz, cables: —
The iron gates of the grim San Juan
de Ulua fortress opened to-day and, as
rarely has happened in its history, men
came out alive, blinking in the sunlight.
The released prisoners include Senor
Fernando Iglesias Calderon, of Monte
rey, a well-known Mexican Liberal,
Senor Julio Serrano, Senor Herberto
Casas and others who had been impri
soned without charges.
The release was voluntary on the part
of the commander of the fortress,
Colonel Aurelio Vigil, who hauled down
the Mexican flag and surrendered his
sword.

MESSAGE
Official Circles Are Now More Opti
mistic that Peaceful Settlement
Will Prove Possible.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—Mr. J. K. Ohl
telegraphs from Washington as follows :
Senor de Riano, the Spanish Ambas
sador, formally notified Mr. Bryan this
morning of the receipt of General
Huerta’s acceptance of mediation.
The Diplomatic representatives of the
mediatory Powers immediately commu
nicated with General Carranza, asking
whether he would receive a communica
tion from them. He has not yet re
plied, but it is believed he will accede
to the request.
It is understood that General Huerta’s
acceptance assumes that the overtures
from Argentina, Brazil and Chile imply
constructive recognition of the present
Mexican Government by the three Gov
ernments and suggests that the media
tors form a commission of six, these six to
select the arbitrator.
There is a more optimistic feeling in
official circles over the possibility of a
settlement. The greatest possibility of
trouble lies in the handling of the Con
stitutionalists, who are expected to insist
that any settlement must recognize the
revolution as successful and permit the
revolutionary army from the north to
enter the capital.
While the mediators maintain secrecy
as to their programme, I have good
reason to believe that they intend to
proceed without giving very much con
sideration at this time to the Carranz-
ists, relying upon the United States to
handle them should they become recal
citrant.
Two events contributed to-day to a
marked lessening of the anxiety over
the fate of Americans still in Mexico.
Rear-Admiral Mayo reported from Tam
pico that the commander of the British
cruiser Hermione had sent Major Clark,
with a contingent of marines, forty
miles inland and brought eight Ameri
cans safely out of the danger zone.
The Brazilian Ambassador has notified
the State Department that General
Huerta has given renewed assurances
to the Brazilian Minister in Mexico City
that Americans will be given every pro
tection.
It now seems probable that every Ame
rican has been got out of Mexico with
out harm.
SENOR DE ROJAS, MEXICAN MINISTER
01 FOREIGN ATfAIRS.
THE SITUATION IN
MEXICO AT A GLANCE.
Washington, through the agency of the
Spanish Embassy, has been officially notified
of General Huerta’s acceptance of the offer
of mediation made by the “A.B.C.”
Powers.
Optimism prevails that a peaceful settle
ment will be reached, but it is recognized
that trouble may now come from the Con
stitutionalists, who, it is thought, may ask
recognition of the revolution as successful
and claim the right to march into Mexico
City.
The prompt acceptance of mediation by
the United States has produced an excellent
impression in South America, where it is
taken as proof of President Wilson’s de
claration that the United States does not
aim at a war of conquest.
While diplomatists are busy in Washing
ton, depatches from the “Herald’s” special
staff correspondents in Mexico, who are
keeping the world in hourly touch with the
march of events, bring reassuring news of
the safety of Americans in the troubled
republic.
General Funston's brigade has been
landed at Vera Cruz, and the army has
replaced the navy in the occupation of the
city and the maintenance of order.
Vera Cruz is now a changed town. Yes
terday, the gates of the grim old fortress
of San Juan de Ulua were opened, and men
came out alive, a thing that has rarely
happened in the history of the Mexican
dungeon, the commander voluntarily haul
ing down the Mexican flag and surrender
ing his sword.

Rebels Endeavoring to Change Public
Opinion.
Yera Crtjz, Tuesday.—The friendlier
attitude noticeable toward foreigners in
the capital during the last two days is
said to be due in part to the rebel sup
porters, who are endeavoring to change
public opinion.
They circulated handbills requesting
people to join in a big parade in evi
dence of disapproval of General Huerta’s
attitude and to indicate friendliness to
Americans.
This parade took place on Saturday
with the permission of General Huerta.
This is construed as an indication of
the weakening of his power.
Refugees report that the rebels are
gaining ground near the capital.
Four hundred Federals wounded at
points close to Mexico City have been
brought into the capital. It is unknown
where a battle is in progress.
Some of the refugees say that, follow
ing the demonstration. General Huerta
hid in a foreign Legation, fearing assas
sination.
It is reported that General Yelasco,
who has been twice wounded, arrived at
Mexico City from Torreon witli a small
band of survivors, including 400 wound
ed. He left General Pena dead on the
field.—Reuter.
Losses in Battle of Monterey.
Brownsville, Tex., Tuesday.—A hun
dred rebels were killed and two hundred
wounded at the taking of Monterey.
The Federals lost three hundred.
The British flag has been hoisted over
the American Consulate. Mr. Hanna
announced that the new United States
flag, to take the place of the one torn
down, could not be raised without pro
per ceremonies.—Reuter.
MEXICAN REPLY IS
DISCUSSED BY MEDIATORS.
Answer Is Debated by Ministers in
Washington.
Washington, Tuesday.—The Note pre
sented by Senor Rojas, Mexican Min
ister for Foreign Affairs, to Senor Riano,
the Spanish Ambassador, expressing
General Huerta’s willingness to accept
the good offices of the South American
representatives, was at once transmitted
to the Ministers in question, who dis
cussed far into the night the next move.
Neither Senor Riano nor the media
tors made public the text of the accept
ance. It is stated, however, that Senor
Rojas’ message was brief, accepting the
offer and thanking the South American
Ministers for their good offices, with a
reference to “the real spirit of soli
darity between peoples of the same
race.”
Apart from expressing pleasure at
Mexico’s acceptance of the offer, Pre
sident Wilson has made no comment.
White House officials have made it
known that he is desirous of aiding the
mediators, and nothing of the Govern
ment’s demands or anything which
might embarrass the peacemakers- will
be made public at the present moment.

deration to Rebels.

the decisions of the mediators may also
indirectly solve the internal problem.
It is a fact that various revolutionary
chiefs are still in negotiation with the
Government and that some of them have
already come to an agreement. These
are the chiefs of the bands fighting in
the States bordering upon the capital,
but deep mystery cover’s the intentions
or the actions of the Revolutionaries in
the North.
Nothing seems to he imminent. The
Government, seeing that the Americans
do not advance, is again turning all
its attention to the internal struggle.
So far. General Huerta has on his side
the military element which still forms
a solid nucleus of organization. While
defending General Huerta, the army
defends its own life.
In the event of reverses, which are by
no means impossible, we may see the
final struggle brought to the gates of the
capital, the defence of which would be
shared by the Indian hordes, who only
the other day were in revolt in the neigh
borhood. It is a terrible prospect.
To-day the capital looks as if nothing
had happened except for the fluttering
of flags which persists, chiefly owing to
the care of the foreigners, who are pro
digal with Mexican flags attached even
to the carriages as though to exorcise
any possible outbreak of animosity.
The Americans who have remained and
who are only waiting for trains to enable
them to flee, display flags of all nationali
ties, even on their clothes. Last night
the cinematograph theatres were
crowded.

derals and Rebels.
(Special Despatch to the “Daily Telegraph" from
Mr. Luigi Barzini.)
Mexico City, Monday. — This evening
the Government states that the media
tion of the South American Republics
has been accepted by the two parties.
Special editions of the newspapers are

with relief, as a conviction prevails that

TBY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The Herald’s
correspondent in Mexico City cables that
mediation will be accepted by General
Huerta if the three nations recognizing
the Mexican Government form a com
mission, the six mediators to name an
arbitrator.
The city is calm.
The correspondent means if Great Bri
tain, France and Germany join the

General Huerta’s View of Mediation.
New York, Tuesday.—The morning
newspapers print the reply of General
Huerta to the question as to whether
he would accept mediation. It is given
as follows: —
“The Republic of Mexico has always
fulfilled its international’ obligations and
will defend at any risk her rights
trampled under foot by the Government
of the United States.”—Reuter.
Britain Given Text of Proposal.
[BY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Wednesday.—Mr. W. H.

Acceptance of Mediation Offer Pleases Latin America
Newspapers Declare Action of United
States Has Dispelled Fears of
Imperialism.
TBY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
New York, Tuesday.—The Herald’s
Buenos Aires correspondent cables : —
The general opinion in South. America
is favorably impressed by the acceptance
of the mediation offer of the “A.B.C.”
Powers.
“La Naqion” (Buenos Aires).
The newspaper “La Na9io n ” recalls
that the “A.B.C.” Powers settled the
conflict in Peru and says: “The accept
ance of the offer will improve the rela
tions between the United States and
Latin America. Mr. Wilson has con
firmed the truth of his declaration that
he does not aim at a war of conquest.”
“Gaceta de Buenos Aires.”
The “Gaoeta de Buenos Aires” says:
“The acceptance has dispelled the fear of
American Imperialism. Mediation, even
if it fails, will show the world that there
are down south nations with sufficient
energy to have some influence in inter
national politics.”
“Diario de la Plata” (Montevideo).
The Montevideo “Diario de la Plata,”
which is owned by the former Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, Senor
Bacchini, blames President Wilson for
his utterances against General Huerta
and says: “Weak republics should be
watchful not to approve American Im

“O Paiz” (Rio de Janeiro).
The Rio de Janeiro “O Paiz” says:
“The action of President Wilson is a

BRITISH ADMIRAL PROMISED
TO RECEIVE ALL AMERICANS.
Mr. Daniels Explains Departure of
Battleship from Tampico.
Washington, Tuesday.—In regard to
reports from Tampico that American citi
zens there were indignant because of the
departure of the American battleships
from the river, the Secretary of the
Navy, Mr. Daniels, said to-day that this
action had been taken after Admiral
Cradock informed Admiral Mayo that he
would undertake to receive Americans
from Tampico aboard the Hermione and
transfer them to the Des Moines upon
the American vessels taking up a position
at sea.
This arrangement, it was thought,
would make anti-American demonstra
tions in Tampico less likely.
“I will go in and bring the refugees to
you,” the British admiral said to Admi
ral Mayo.—Daily Telegraph.
AMERICAN ADMIRAL SEIZES
BRITISH FIRM’S PROPERTY.
Considering Rental Exorbitant, Admi
ral Fletcher Takes Over Buildings.
Yera Cruz, Tuesday.—Being unable
to reach an agreement with the Ter
minal Company, a British firm, for the
use of certain piers, yards and buildings
deemed necessary by the Americans for
the resumption of normal business,
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has seized the
property in question.
It is stated that he considered the
rental asked for exorbitant. Mr. W.
Morcom, the president of the Terminal
Company, afterwards called on Rear-
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, who
advised him to present a claim to the
Foreign Office.
Prior to the seizure, which was made
without any further formality than the
announcement of Admiral Fletcher’s de
cision, one of the chief officials of the
company had the British flag raised over
the water station yards, under the im
pression that this might prevent the
Americans seizing the property.
It is stated that Rear-Admiral Flet
cher has taken over the property under
the rights conferred by martial law.
Most of the stock of the company is
owned by the Mexican Interoceanic
Railroad.—Reuter.
Britain Justifies Admiral’s Act.
fBY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Wednesday.—The view taken
in official circles in London, says Reuter,
is that the existence of martial law fully
justified Admiral Fletcher in his action,
and that the hoisting of the British flag
has no practical bearing upon the mat
ter. The company’s claim for compensa
tion will be settled later on by negotia
tion with Washington in the ordinary
course.
