'â€" The United States Government has con- seulted to mediate its differences with Mexico, and Huerta-’5 consent has been given to such a, settlement of the' crisis. This unexpected turn of affairs came as a, result of an offer by Brazil, Chile, and the Ar- gentine- Itepublics to use their good offices to bring about mediation. This Government immediately ac- cepted, [in the hope that [the propo- sals. to be advanced by ll e South American Republics may prove “feasible and prophetic of a new day of mutual. cooperation and confidence in America.” While ac- cepting. Pmeosxidcnlt Wilson imposed conditions of his own. One of these was no solution of the crisis will be acccptable to the. United States which does not provide for the elimination of Huerta. and the res- toration of constitutional govern- ment llll Mexico. A third condition irrnpo-sed by the United States was that suitable reparation be render- ed for the insults to the American flag. It is understood that this re- paration falls short of that origi- nally demanded by the President and that. Mr. Wilson will be satis- fied with-an adequate-apology and a'guaranlt-ec that the Tampico inciâ€" dent will not be repeated, provided the first two conditions are. com- plied with. ‘ Huerta Also Accepts.

' A despaitch from Montreal says: Three memorial statues, the com- bined cost of which will exceed $200,000 will be erected in Montreal this year. They are those to King Edward VII. on Phillips Square; to Sir George Cartier on Fletcher’s Field, and to Adam Del-lard, Sieur dos Ormeux, on Viger Square. The Cartier memorial, costing over $100,000, will be the most elaborate of the three. The statue o»f"King Edward VII.. for which.$60,000 has been collected in amounts ranging from five cents to $1,000. is now be- ing'cast in Paris. It is the work of Mr. Phillipe Hebert, the well- known French sculptor. The stone base for the statue is already com- pleted.
