Secretary Bryan made the announce
mena for the three diplomats in a
brief statement, which reads as fol-
lows:
1.-The mediators have notified the
different parties that Niagara Falls.
Canada. has been selected rs Che
place where the mediators will con-
fer with Representatives Of the differ

and that the 18th OF May has been

The language Of the declaration at
fracted attention, for although the
ENJOYS had In q note earlier said they
wouid withdraw their Invitation for
a Carranza representative unless an
armjstice between the Constitution
alis;s and the Huerta forces was ar
ranged. no specific parties to the
negotiations were named In the State
DEPARTMENT announcement. tI,t.
IL was later learned authoritative
ly that the reason for this was due TO
the fact that . further effort was be-
ing made TO induce Gen. Carranza to
send q representative. 1T was under

The American Government has not
yet chosen its representatives. Pres
idene Wilson and Secretaries Bryan
and Lane discussed many names to-
day. They are seeking to get men Of
training in diplomatic sffaiv.and in
asmuch as 1t will take several days
for the Huerta ENJOYS to reach here.

As yet there has been no formal ba-
sis Of negotiations, the United States
OF Huerta not having set forh their
demands. It was learned to-day from
a high Administration official that
in all Likelihood the United States
would not confine itself now to q
mere settlement OF the incidents at
Tampco which provoked the present
Crisis, but would aim to bring about
a solution OF the whole Mexican prob
lem so that it could recognize a con-
stitutlonally established Government
which would be able to restore tran
guilty in the Southern republic.
The disposition of Gen. Carranza
to eliminate himself from the media
tion proceedings, II IL should include
a discussion OF Mexicos internal
problems, has not met with the favor
OF Administration officials, but they
do mot think this decision y final and
hope he may yet be brought within
the SCOPE OF the present effort to
bring about peace.
II is practically certain that the
withdrawal Of American forces from
Vera Cruz will not be ordered until
some definite settlement Of the whole
Mexican problem II in sight.
