Anibdffflad'or Da Oama, of Brazil, and Minister Naon, of Argentina, and Suarez, or Chile, were astir early. None of the mediators would discuss the news emanating from Mexico City regarding the Huerta protest. It was thought that the envoys would go to the state department to negotiate further regarding the pro test. At Cabinet Meet. ' When the United States would re ply to the envoys note was not made known. President Wilson Is said to have been Informed last night of the Huerta government’s communication and it la expected that the subject would be considered at the cabinet meeting today. Suggestion of Bu.pen.lon. Washington, D. C. —Officials point out that neither the. United Htatcs nor Gen. Huerta has yet entered Into any formal arm lat re. What occurred was this: The mediator* suggeKted that hostili ties should he suspended during the pe riod of negotiations. To this Hecretary Bryan replied that It was assumed there would.be a suspension of hostilities, ex cept to repel attack. General Huerta's answer was understood to be an accept ance hut the exact terms have not been given out. Mr. Bryan baa several times pointed out that this did not constitute a formal armistice but only an assump tion that hostilities would he suspended except to res'st aggression. Pending Mediation. Article VIII of the Hague convention, of which the United Ktates and Mexico are signatories, provides specifically on troop movements pending mediation as follows: "Article VlH.—The acceptance of I mediation cannot, unless there be an j agreement to the contrary, have the ef fect of interrupting, delaying or hinder ing mobilisation or other measures or preparation for war. No Interruption. ‘lf mediation occurs after the com mencement of hostilities. It causes no Interruption to the military operations In progress, unless there be an agree ment to the contrary.” To what extent the present suspension at Vera Cruz operates under these rules appears Iherefca-e to depend largely on ih construction of the Informal under atandlng that It was assumed hostilities would he suspended except to repeal at tack. Should Be Definite. ‘‘leading authorities on International law hold that an arrnistlee truce or su spension of hostilities Hhould he definite and exact and not Implied One of the leading authorities, Halle, k says: “Buell a general suspension of hostili ties can only he made by the sovereignty of t lie slate, either directly or by au thiwlty, specially delegated. Such au thorlH s never Implied, and the enemy Is bound to see that the agent Is spe cially authorized to bind his principle.” j Formal Agreement. When an armstlce Is formally agreed to. the authorities hold that "during Its pendant-v neither party mny engage In any military work, operation, or move ment. at least upon the Immediate thea tre of war ” This however Is limited to the "theatre of war" and It la added: "Fitch parly may.

Declaring that practically every for eigner and American in the Tampico district now ts safe, as well as for elgn property Interests. Secretary Daniels states that It seems almost unnecessary to defend a course “which has achieved such results.” Secretary Daniels’ statement con eludes: “Tampico Is now a closely be leaguered city, exposed to constant attacks from the outside from a con tinually augmenting enemy. The constiaiitionalist forces, according to all reports, are gradually Increasing In numbers In the territory around about. Death Grapple. Whether our efforts at mediation fall or are successful, it would seem to be obvious that Tampico and Its surroundings will not be safe for for eigners of any kind during the com Ing death grapple between the constl- J tutionallsts and the Tederals. “If property owners choose to re turn to Tantplco. risking their own lives and the lives ot their families, it does not He in our power to stop them.
