Washington, June 9.-Every indica'
tion here tonight pointed to some
form of participation by the constl
tutionalists in the mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls, tending toward
a settlement of the international diff
ferences affecting the Huerta govern
ment, as we'll as the Mexican inter
national troubles.
Awaits final Word. -.
While final word is awaited by the
Carranza agents here, regarding Car
ranza's answer to the mediatOrs' pro-
posals, the delay is accounted for by
telegraphic disturbances between the
United States border and Saltillo. Ii
is expected that the definite position
of the cOnstitutiOnalists will be com.
municated to the mediators before
many hours.
Some intimate that the constitu
tionalists will not consent to an arm
istice, but will acquiesce in peace
proposals. relating TO the establish
ment of a provisional government
pending a general election, provided
ample representation is given In the
provisional government to the con.
stitutionalists.
Bryan Optimistic.
Bryan declared that president and
himself were optimistic regarding the
constitutionalists participation.
The Officials declined to discuss the
persistent rumors that the steamer,
Antilla's cargo, due at Tampico to-
morrow, will not be landed. The Jap.
anese minister to Mexico, whose con.
tinued absence from the capital has
given rise to apprehension is reported
safe.
The constitutionalist agent here an
nounced late tonight that he was un'
successful in his efforts to get into
direct communication with Carranza
at Saltillo, and as result 1t is prob
able no word from Carranza regard
ing mediation will be received before
tomorrow. s.
Nigara Falls, June 9.-The United
States is unwilling to extend recogni-
tion to the new provisional President
II named according t., the method pre-
scribed by the Mexican delegates,
which is that Huerta be appointed as
minister Of for ,ign affairs and man
agreed upon here tc head the new
government Washington officials con-
tend If Huerta is permitted to name
a foreign minister, who by constitu-
tional succession will be elevated to
the presidency even though the selec-
tion is made here, such an act will be
construed as recognition of the Huer-
to government.
Mediators Disagree.
On this issue the mediating pleni-
potentiaries came to flat disagree.
ment late today at conference held
for the consideration of exact method
by which the new provisional govern
me1t of Mexico could be credited.
For over two hours the mediators,
and American delegates argued vain
ly. and it was apparent at the end Of
the conference that what hitherto had
been considered a matter Of detail
suddenly developed s1ag. The Mexi.
con delegates did not discuss the point
to any length with the mediators but
latter took 1t up with the Americans.
Although the Mediators argued strong
ly from the Mexican viewpoint. there
was good reason to believe tonight
that the Mexican delegates will not
insist on this arrangement If it is
found that the United States absolute
ly is determined against it.
