PROSPECTS OF SETTLEMENT NOT BRIGHT.

MEXICANS IN RETREAT. Washington, Monday. The Japanese Ambassador has secured permission for all Japanese refugees leaving Mexico to take refuge in the United States. The Zapatistas are negotiating for a settlement with the object of joining the Huertistas. European diplomats think that there is little prospect of a settlement of the imbroglio through the South American Republics' intervention. Protracted conferences daily, however, are being held. The State Department discredits the Monero engagement, declaring that its information appears to show that the Federals are retreating southware!. Seven hundred Amedcans are leaving Mexio City, and practically the whole Amreican colony is now en route t"? the coast. Information of the fate of the English and Americans whose arrest was reported, is not available.

OUTLOOK FOR PEAC3 HOPEFUL SIGNS. HUERTA'S FORMAL ACCEPTANCE. Received Tuesday, 8.10 p.m. Washington, Tuesday. Britißh, German and French influence is being strongly used to induce the United States to make every effort to settle the Mexican trouble peacefully. President Wilson expressed fully his approval of such a course. Huerta having formally accepted the offer of mediation the outlook has distinctly improved. It is understood order prevails throughout Mexico City. No Americans have been killed although there was some anti-Ameri-can rioting. The pan-American Union has issued a statement approving o? the United States Pacific attitude and hopes the Americans will curb tha rising war spirit.

Reassuring messages are arriving concerning the peaceful removal of refugees from Mexico.
