PLANS FOR PEACE;
FROWN ON STRIFE


10 request for the appointment OF
delegate from the United States to
take part In the mediation plans.
The Huerta delegate, 1t is believed,
will be either Joaquin ID. Cassasus,
now on his way here from Carlsbad.
or Zamacona e. Inclan, the former
Mexican financial advisor at London.
The Carranza delegate will probably
be Rafael zuinbaran, who is now here.
Hope Everything VIII Be Lovely.
Meantime the mediators hope there
will be no warfare to cause compli-
cations. Theq are reasonably hopeful
that as open a rupture as warfare
can be put of.
Two Delegates Selected.
Huerta has sent message to the
mediators that ID. Emilio Rabasa, a
Mexican jurist and Augustine Cara
Gallndo, under secretary OF justice.
have been selected as delegates to
confer with the mediators and that
a third name win be submitted to-
morrow.
Limit Their Activities.
There was general understand
ing after the state department con-
. ference that the mediators had de-
cided TO limit their activities at pres
ent to the settlement OF the Tampico
incident solely and the appointment
OF the Huerta delegates was made
.on that basis.
