WAR NEWS IN BULLETINS

London, April 28.—According to the Daily Telegraph’s correspondent all is quiet in Mexico city. The American Ambassador, Walter H. Page, yesterday informed Sir Edward Grey, with reference to inquiries from Brit’sh shippers that no war blockade existed in Mexico and that merchandise shipped to Mexican ports would be allowed to enter without hindrance on the part of the United States. He added, however, that if military operations were in progress on the arrival of the vessels, they would enter at their own risk. Washington, April 27.—President Wilson tonight received from the international peace bureau of Brussels this cablegram: “The pacificists of the world heartily congratulte the United States government for having without hestitation accepted the mediation of friendly powers and so given a solemn testimony of its sincere desire to settle by pacific means all international disputes. The United States government remains the leader in the cause of universal peace."

Eastman at Mexico City, saying that all American officers and employes of the road there were safe. Mr. Eastman is assistant to the president of the road. London, April 27.—The British government has had under consideration the possibility of strengthening the British fleet in Mexican waters in order to insure the protection of British subjects and property.
