That Situation Causes Sus-
pension of Efforts at
Mediation
CARRANZA ALSO SLOW
TO MAKE STATEMENT
No Summary Action Proba-
Bile Pending Last Try at
Peaceful Solution

Washington, ID. c.. June 30.-New ele-
ments in the Mexican situation, caused
BY internal dissension in revolutionary
ranks, and Carranza's s continued delay in
the outline of his attitude toward the
proposed conference between his repre-
sentatives and Huerta's delegates caused
the peace situation to appear in an un-
settled state to-day
Secretary of State Bryan would not
discuss the probable length of time the
mediators would await a definition of
Carranza's stand. 1t appeared however,
that the would take no summary action
as long as there remained hope that the
constituionalists might send delegates
to discuss plans for provisional gov
ernment.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 80 Media
tion is in most complex state. Its
principals are undecided whether for
mally to adjourn or to recess and re-
new their efforts through the American
government toward bringing the consti-
tutionalists and Huerta delegates into
conference for the solution of Mexico's
internal problem.
While the signing of the series of pro-
tocols covering various phases of the in
ternational situation has brought forth
confident expressions from some quar-
ters here that mediation has been sue
cess skepticism has arisen among others
vitally connected with the proceedings
as to whether anything of value ctually
has been accomplished That war has
been averted is generally admitted, but
on the actual pacification of Mexico few
here see any visible signs of progress.
The protocols already signed set forth
in eject the condition underw which the
United States will recognize a new gov
ernment in Mexico. Everything, how
ever. is conditioned on the establish
ment OF provisional government which
must be the result of an agreement be-
tween the two warning factions. These
have not yet been brought together.
Some of the mediators doubt if they
ever will be- Even if they confer there
has been no indication that the constitu-
tionalists will alter their uncompromis-
ing attitude toward the Huerta faction.
Minister Naon, who is believed to be
on intimate terms with the constitution
alists, as he recently has been in private
and secret communication with their
representatives in Washington Processes
optimism. Minister Suarez and Ambas-
sador DaGama are understood to be
much less confident and rather skeptical.
The Huerta delegates are non-committal.
They want to wait reasonable length
of time for the arrival of the constitu-
tionaist delgates but not indefinitely.
The American delegates will remain here
as long as there is flicker of hope for a
solution.
In the meantime the widening breach
between Carranza and Villa and the
weak resistance being offered by the
Huerta troops to the constitutionalist
advance are producing grave fears and
apprehension that military conquest OF
Mexico City is liable to occur while me-
diation is in session and perhaps provoke
the international controversy anew.
Ambassador Da Cana will return from
a brief vacation to-day. Minister Suarez
made it clear that he had remained here
merely to await Mr.. Da Gsma's return
and not because he thought it was his
duty to wait for the constitutionalist
delegates. The disposition of the media.
tors is to keep themselves free from en-
tanglement in Mexico's internal affairs.
Although the answer to the note semi
by the mediators to Carranza last Mon
day has not arrived, it is expected to-
day. limitations as to its contents,
however, have come. The mediators
know that Carranza wants more time in
which to consult his generals before
sending delegates to confer with the
Huerta commissioners. Whether this will
require a week or a month, during which
period military operations will be
pressed vigorously, is adding TO the EN-.
barrassment of the mediators Some of
the principals think it advisable formal
ly to recess, permit the delegates to
leave here and reconvene the mediation
board only after delegates from the two
Mexican factions have reached on agree
ment.
