Mediation of the Mexican Trouble
Is Again Seriously Threaten
ed With Failure
RUERTA CAUSE OF DEADLOCK
Peace ENJOYS Insist That He Name
Provisional President and
Americans Object

Niagara Falls, n. Y, June 1O.-A
dangerous obstruction to progress on
a vital point in the mediation proceed
ings has arisen which again threatens
the failure OF the negotiations.
The medators are insisting that
Huerta be permitted to make the ap-
pOintment or che man agreed upon
here for provisional president. This
the American government absolutely
refuses to accept, not only because it
is committed against the recognition
of Huerta. but because il has been in
formed by the Constitutionalists that
under no circumstances will they ac-
cept "A peace plan which permits
Huerta to exercise the constitutional
function of naming his successor. on
this point the mediators and American
delegates are deadlocked one side
must give way before any advance can
he made.
Some of the principals have actual
! ly lost hope for settlement, but
there is a growing confidence that the
medators will devise a method of
bridging the difficulty rather than al
low mediation to founder on the rocks.
U. S. Favors the Rebels.
The American government is firm in
the belief that the Constitutionalists
having conquered the greater part or
Mexico, should be given the controlling
share Of the new government, that the
Constitutionalists are moving forward
| 70 an undoubted conquest OF Mexico
City. and To prevent such contingent
cy concessions should be made which
will make their acceptance OF the peace
plan Immediately possible.
The United States believes the Con-
stitutionalists. with large army, form
the real party which must be pacified.
and that the transfer of power must be
to them To insure peace.
The American delegates, it is un-
derstood, have conceded the prin-
ciple that none of the foremost mill
tary chiefs of the Constitutionalists or
any who have been conspicuous in the
, Huerta movement, should be provis-
ional president. But they do not be-
lieve any progress can be made toward
settlement unless the man chosen is
of Constitutionalist sympathies, broad
minded enough to be acceptable "a
