MEDIATORS SEEK ARMISTICE
BETWEEN WARRING MEXICANS;
CONSULS RETURN TO POSTS
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., April 30.—The proposal to Gen
eral Carranza, the head of the Mexican constitutionalists,
to join in the armistice agreement between the United
States and Huerta has been made by the South American
envoys attempting mediation. The proposal was for
warded to Carranza, immediately following his acceptance
of the mediation principle.
It was asserted on unquestionable authority here today that
the envoys had appealed to the'European governments to exer
cise their friendly offices to facilitate mediation. The appeal, how
ever. did not include a request for the powers to use their utmost
influence to President Wilson, as has been reported from abroad.
A hopeful sign today was the instructions issued by the
Mate department to consuls in Mexican cities to return to their
posts and resume their official duties. They had been ordered
nut of Mexico shortly after the siege of Vera Cruz.
The request to the powers, it was said, has already borrte
fruit, as several diplomatic representatives of European nations
have called on Secretary Bryan regarding the matter. They de
nied, however, that they urged any change in the policy of this
government. President Wilson indicated to callers today that
he is very hopeful.

**■ commander, Rear Admiral Winslow, has scaled for Mexico with
1.300 men. The picture shows her steaming under the Brooklyn bridge
CARRANZA’S ACCEPTANCE SURPRISING.
Washington, D. C., April 30.—The mediators attempting to
compose the Mexican situation were more optimistic when they
resumed their sessions this morning and it was a matter of sur
prise in diplomatic circles that General Carranza had accepted the
mediation plans. Accomplishment of so much by the mediators in
so short a time removed many previous doubts as to the success
of their efforts. It was still felt, however, that the crucial stago
of the negotiations is yet ahead.
A BROADENED FIELD OF ENDEAVOR.
Washington, D, C., Ajifil 30.—A broadenedfield of endeavor
today was presented for the South American diplomats attempt
ing to compose the Mexican situation. It was freely predicted
that the next step of the envoys, as a result of General Carranza’s
acceptance of the mediation proposal, would be to ask' an armistice
between the rebels and federals in Mexico. General Carranza’s
reply to the mediation proposal, however, which was received
early today, did not mention the internal strife in Mexico.
RUMORS ARE DENIED.
The White House today denied the report that the Mexican
port of Manzanillc on the Pacific coast had been fired on by an
American warship. Investigation disclosed that a conflagration
said to have been of incendiary origin occurred there, but the
American force had nothing to do with it, according to a cable
gram from Rear Admiral Howard.
