WASHINGTON HEARS REPORT THAT HE HAS SENT HIS CHILL
 DREN TO PUERTO MEXICO,
UNREST AT THE CAPITAL
Is Caused by the Advice of British Minister to His countrymen to Leave Mexico-Interventio Talked to Rebel Representatives.

Washington, D. C., June S0 With
 the Niagara mediation conference on
 the eve of a recess pending pro-
 posed meeting of representatives of General Huerta and the constitution
 alists to discuss Mexican internal af.
 fairs, General Carranza, first chief of
 the constitutionalists, tonight tele- eraphed his Washington agents that
 he had not heard from his associate leaders with regard to participation
 in such a conference.
 Carranza's representatives who
 earlier in the day had expected that some definite reply might be re- ceived by night, announced later that nothing would be learned until to- morrow at the earliest. The general
 belief here was that it would be some time before any decision was reached.
 In the event the constitutionalists finally refuse to negotiate with Hu- erta's delegates over the internal af- fairs of Mexico. it is said protocol between the United States and Hu- erta as to international problems will be completed, but while some form of provisional government may be agreed to, it hardly could be effective so long as the internal revolution con tinuod.
 Considerable apprehension was ere ated in official quarters over an un- official report that General Huerta had sent two of his children toward Puerto Mexico This led to reports that he was preparing to flee to save himself and family from falling into the hands of the constitutionalists. Another disquieting development was the advice to English subjects to leave Mexico given by Sir Lionel Garden, British minister at Mexico City
 Whatever may be the present ex- pectations of the Washington gov ernment as to the effect of recess in mediation, it was assured that this government would continue efforts to influence the eonstitutionaIists to confer with Huerta delegates towardi reaching an understanding as teS some form of provisional government. It was learned tonight that urgent arguments have been transmitted to Carranza through his agents here setting forth the enormous responsi- bility resting on the constitutionalists as to the fate Of their country.
 Carranza agents here have been told to picture. the possibility which by the United States. They have been reminded, 1t is said, of the dreams of thousands of Americans for one solid nation from the Can adian border to the Panama canal. and urged to appreciate how public opinion might force the American flag to wave for years, at least, over Mexico. should it once be hoisted in the capital.
 In view of the strong influence that has been and still is being ex- erted to bring about peace in Mexico. there are those who believe Carranza ' vat will yield ta q caufaranea Rtlk even those who believe this dwell ol the difficulty of making Mexicans a(i- init the United States really is f&c- tor in the internal affairs of their M
 It was learned tonight that John R. siliman, the American vice consul at Saltillo. will return to SaltIllo to rep resent the United States.
 Reports continue to reach Wash ngton of the widening of the breach between Villa and Carranza. Should -his become more serious. the inter- national situation, 1t Is admitted. would be further complicated.
 Another of the constitutionalist rep to reach Washington to- lay was Francisco Urquidi, who has been acting as conaul for the Car ranzistas at New York. He has beer recalled to Mexico and tarried her to confer with Carranza's Washin; ton agents before proceeding to Mo1 terey.
