Mexican Warning
 Factions to Confer
ARE SOON TO HOLD AN INFoR-
 MAJ MEETING.
MAY END CIVIL STRIFE
constitutionaIists Have Been Pre- vailed Upon to Meet Husrta Dele gates With Object of Saving Mex leo from Further spoIiation.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 22.- Through the invitation 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-the consti- tutionalists and the Huerta govern ment-soon will be brought face to face in an informal conference, dis tinct from the mediation proceedings.
 To save Mexico from further spolia- tion and the possibility of a foreign war, the constitutionalists apparently have been prevailed upon to meet their countrymen-the Huerta delegates-in a peace conference whose object shall be the ending of the civil strife which has divided Mexico in the last eighteen months The belief is general that this plan stands an excellent chancs of being carried to success if the recent differences between Generals Villa and Carranza are sufficiently composed to guarantee that the constitutionalist rassment-
 Arrangements Still in Formative State Arrangements for the meeting are as yet in a formative state. Final word on details has not come from CarranZa, but it is the expectation to- night of the mediators, American and Huerta delegates that on tomorrow, or Wednesday at the latest, they will be able to announce not only the person. mel of the constitutionalist delegation but the place of the meeting and its general purposes.
 The new plan has buoyed the hopes of the principals to mediation The South American envoys discussed ir | briefly with the American delegates to- day and later had conference With ! the Huerta delegates, who were for | ma1ly asked if they would meet con- stitutionalist representatives. The | Huerta delegates replied that they were willing to enter any conference with their countrymen which had for | its object the prevention of bloodshed | and the destruction of property and | which sought to establish national | government on firm basis.
 i Conditions of Withdrawal from Vera
 Cruz.
 The conversation between the medi- ators and the Huerta delegates then | turned to such international questions | as could be advanced in the absence Of I constitutionalists, particularly the con ! ditions under which American forces will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz, which is expected to result from the | satisfactory establishment of a new 1 provisional government
 The plan which the mediators have worked out is to confine the formal | mediation conferences to considera- tion of international questions, treat | ing with the Huerta and American del- | egates on these points.
 On internal questions the Huerta | and constitutionalist delegates would | be expected to confer alone. The me | diators and the American delegates 1 thus would not interfere with the set l clement of problems confined to the | country but they would lend their | counsel whenever it would be helpful and, of course, point out under what conditions recognition would be, ex- | tended
 Mediators May Take Recess. i With the constitutionalist and 1 Huerta delegates discussing names for the provisional presidency and kindred | internal questions, the mediators and | American delegates would await the outcome of their efforts before signing a final protocol. It has even been suggested that the mediators might | take a short recess while the informal ! parIeys between the constitutionelsts and the Huerta delegates were in progress.
 | Fernando Iglesias Ca1deron is >ex-
 pected to head the Carranza delegation ! He is due in Washington tomorrow. | There he will confer. 1t is believed, General Carranza. with whom Minister ! Naon talked on his recent trip to l Washington.
 Villa Also Consulted. | Although there was no official en-
 nouncement here, 1t was understood I ds had given his assent to the plan Of | holding conferences separate from the mediation and that the details were being worked out now by telegraph There was a report current tonight that the United States had made in
 uuiry privately from Villa as to
 whether the delegates being sent to the informal conferences represented the interests of the forces he controlled as well as those of Carranza. Reports that the split between Villa and Car ranza extended only to the question of l military control and left intact Car ranza's authority to deal with foreign
 affairs have been generally credited here, but developments of the next few
 days probably will determine whether any hitch will be encountered on &C.,
 count of the estranged relations be- l tween the two.
 1t is practically certain that no ar
 mistice will be declared by the con- | stitutiona1ists until an agreement of a
 definite character is reached in the informal conferences as to the estab-
 lishment of the provisional govern ! ment.
