Washington, May 18.-Huerta has
authorized the Mexican mediation del
egates to submit his resignation in
case sucn a course is found necessary
to settlement in the peace negotiations
This was stated positively in dispatch
es from a thoroughly competent dip
lomatic source in Mexico City, to one
and confirms intimations given by
friends OF the delegates here yesterday
According to this information from
Mexico City, Huerta at first authorized
the delegates to discuss only the ques-
ton of the Tampico conflict, leading
to the American occupancy of Vera
Cruz. Later the Mexican dictator, it
was explained. came to recognize the
necessity of a broader settlement and
then conveyed to the delegates assur-
encs that he was prepared to step
down should this course be found nee
essary by them.
The problem that is causing the
chief concern to the diplomats in Mex
leo Citv now is that of the form of ad =
ministration to be established during
the interegum before a constitutional
ly-elected president could assume Of
flee. No intimations concerning the
names of a possible successor to
Huerta are contained in the dispatch.

will be necessary to consult the opin-
ion of the canstitutionaiists and other
leaders III Mexico. + +
Justice Lamar and Frederick w
Lehman, who will represent the
United States at the peace conference
at Niagara Falls, arranged to leave
Washington at o'clock tomorrow
morning. This arrangement will put
the American delegates at the scene of
the conference about the same time
the Mexican delgates arrive there from
New York.
Information Of Huertas attitude
now received through foreign diplo-
matte channels agrees with the view
obtained by some close friends of the
Mexican peace ENJOYS during their
stop here. According to this view the
delegates realized that the present ad-
ministration in Mexico City is fast
going to pieces, and it is inevitable
that Huerta must give place to some
other authority. Until the information

I came through diplomatic channels, it
was not known that Huerta had defin-
itely authorized his resignation if the
ENJOYS considered such action essen
tial.
The Mexican delegates are not HUI
ertaists, but represent broadly the best
elements in the federal districts de-
sirous of bringing about an orderly
government throughout Mexico. Who
will come after Huerta. whether an
individual or provisional commits
sion, is still an open question, but it
is gathered that the succession is not
likely to fall on military leaders who
come to prominence by arbitrary
The Huerta delegates never will
agree to the selection for provisional
president OF any Of the constitution
alist military men," said a man who
had a long talk with the Huerta rep
lresentatives here.
"They are not suggesting any
names, however for provisional pres
ident, nor are they going to make sug-
gestions to the mediators unless ask
ed, as they are expecting the initia-
tive to come from the three South
American diplomats. They want some
one, however, for provisional presi-
dent who will guarantee a fair cleo
tion to all parties concerned, and who
mas not been military partisan. or
course, this would not exclude num-
ber of men who have been in sym
pathy with the cOnstitutionalists, but
not military leaders"
This view coincided with that OBJ
tanned from other persons who had
informal talks with the Huerta dele
gates here. The three Mexicans did
not divulge the nature of their long
conference with Huerta before their
departure from Mexico City, but
man who knows the viewpoint of the
three, said:
"'Phey are prepared to go the limit
in the way of concessions and will
recommend to Huerta the reasonable
thing. People who talked with the
Huerta delegates said the delegates
realized the situation had progressed
far beyond the Tampico incident and
that at Niagara Falls, they would be
confronted with settling the broad
problem Of restoring peace in Mexi-
co.
The president and Bryan were in
conference with the American COM
missioners who are to participate in
the Niagara Falls negotiations for
more than an hour. Bryan accom-
panied Justice Lamrar and Lehman
