NEW PEACE PLANS .
GIVE FRESH HOPE
ORSETTLEMENTi
Representatives of Warning Facl
tions Will Be Brought
Face to Face.
DISTINCT FROM MEDIATION

to Yield.

Niagara Falls, Ont, Juno 22.-
Through the inYitation of the United
States government and the good offices
OF the three South American media
tors, representatives OF the two war
ring factions In Mexico soon will be
brought face to face in an INFORMAL
conference. distinct from the media
tlon proceedings. To save Mexico
from further spoliation and the pos
sibility OF q foreign war, the ConStt-
tutionalists apparently have been pre-
vailed upon to meet the Huerta dele
gates
Belief Is general that this plan
stands an excellent chance of being
carried to success. Arrangements for
the meeting are as yet In Il formative
state. Final word on details have
not yet come from General Carranza.
HOPES OF PRINCIPALS
BUOYED BY NEW PLANS
The new plan has buoyed the hopes
OF the principals to mediation. Tho
South American cnvoys discussed 1t
with the American delegates to-day
and later had r. conference with tho
Huerta delegates, who were formally
asked II they would meet Constitu-
tionallst representatives. The Huerta
delegates replied they were willing to
enter any conference with their coun-
trynen which has for it's object the
prevention OF hloodshed. destruction
OF property, and sought to establish
a national government on n firm basis
The conversation between the media
tors and the Hucrta delegates then
turned to such internal questions as
could BIO advanced In the absence OF
the Constitutionalists, particularly tho
conditions under which American
forces will be withdrawn from Vera
Cruz. which Is expected to result from
the satisfactory establishment of
new provisional government.
The plan which the mediators have
worked out Is to confine the formal
mediation conferences to consideration
OF international questions. treating
gates on those points. On interna-
tional queetions,lthe Huerta and Com
stitutionaAst delegates would be en-
pected to confer alone. The inediatora7
and the American delegates thus would
not interfere with the settlement OF
problems conffpod to the country, but
they would lend their counsel when
ever 1t would be helpful, and point out
under what conditions recognition

CARRANZA UNDERSTOOD
TO GIVE HIS APPROVAL
Although there was no official an
nouncement here, 1t was understood
that General Carranza, through Luis,
Cabrera, his representative at Wash
ington. had given his assent to the
plan OF holding conferences separate
from the mediation proceedings, and
that the details were being worked out
now by telegraph. There was a re-
port current tonight that the United
States had inquired privately OF Gem
eral villa as to whether the delegates
being sent to the informal conferences
represented tho interests OF the forces
he controlled. as we'll as those OF Car
ranza. Reports that the split between
villa and CartanZa extended only to
the question OF military control, and
left intact Carranza's authority to deal
with foreign affairs. have been gem
orally credited here.
It is practically certain that no arr
mistice Will be declared by the Consti-
tutionalists until an agreement of a
definite character is reached in formal
conference as to the establishment OF
the provisional government. On ar
riving at such an understanding, IL
would be expected that suspension OF
hosilities would be proclaimed. and
the Constitutionalist delegates might
then be formally admitted to the me-
d1atlon proceedings
