Niagara Falls, Ont, June 10-The
United States government through
Justice Lamar and Frederick w. Leh-
mann has presented to the three South
American mediators a complete plan
for the pacification of Mexico. 1t is
the same in principle as that present
ed by the mediators and already
agreed to by the Huerta government.
1t contemplates establishment, at
the earliest date practicable, of a new
provisional government in Mexico
City, which would conduct general
elections for permanent government.
Plan is Brief.
The plan written by the American
delegates, after consultation with the
Washington government is brief and
includes several counter propositions
Of which the Huerta delegates have
been advised. From the mediators
themselves it became known that the
differences in the two plans are
slight.
A full conference Of all delegates
and mediators is being held. This is
for the formal consideration and final
drafting Of the protocol.
Although the question of whether
the Antilla would be permitted to land
her ammunition at the Constitutional
list port of Tampico, has not been fin
ally disposed of, the Mexican delegates
let it be known that while they hoped
the cargo in some way would be re.
turned to New York, they were not
disposed to interrupt mediation even
If the ammunition finally got ashore.
General Huerta's order resembling the
blockade infused a spirit of optimism
everywhere -
Mexicans are Optimistic.
The Mexican delegates are optimis
tic and see the end Of the parleys here.
They are assuming that the American
government will deal with the Constr
tutionalists if the latter do not come
into the negotiations Immediately.
It is known authoritatively that the
original terms set by the mediators for
the Constitutionalist participation
the declaration of an armistice and
broadening the scope of the discussion
from international to internal ques-
tions-still is not acceptable TO the
Constitutionalists, though official word
to that effect is lacking.
The Constitutionalists, according to
informal expressions, are DESTROYS of
discussing a solution of the Mexican
problem by diplomacy but they are un-
willing to disrupt their military cam
paign until they have good reason to
believe the plan under discussion
meets their approval.
There is a feeling of confidence that
the Constitutionalists eventually will
approve the plans being worked out
here as their interests have been kept
in mind by the American government
and by the mediators.
Washington is Relieved.
Washington.-Gen Huerta's or
der suspending his order to blockade
the port of Tampico, has caused his
two gunboats to pull up anchor and
head for Puerto Mexico. The steamer
Antilla bearing arms for the Constitu-
tionalists is still at sea being due to
arrive at Tampico very soon, and
since the probability of further clash
between the United States and Huerta
has been averted, temporarily at least,
feeling in diplomatic circles rests east.
err There is nevertheless uneasiness
as to the final outcome of this latest
Tampico incident, anxiety as to what
may yet happen and apprehension as

Die there would have upon mediation.

The offer was promptly accepted and
