Saltillo, June 13-General Carranza
announced on Thursday that he had
returned an answer to the note of the
mediators, stating that he would ap-
point representatives to the confer
ences at Niagara Falls. His note
merely gives assurance that the con-
stitutionalists would be represented.

they would take part. Announcement
was made, however, that agreement to
attend the conferences would not
serve to check the campaign against
the federals. The advance to the

ators and both American and Mexican

rary national authority in Mexico City

Washington, June 13.-Publication
by the mediators of exchanges be-
tween them and Carranza's agents and
the report that the South American en-
voys regarded further waiting on Car
rama as beneath their dignity, were
taken on Thursday to mean that the
door to mediation was closed on the
constitutionalists
Washington, June 12.--With the me
diation proceedings at Niagara Falls
at standstill and new complications
impending with the arrival of Ameri-
can arms for the constitutionalists at
Tampico, the Mexican question be-
came stilN further involved Wednes-
day as a result of the receipt of fresh
proposals from Carranza embracing
suggestion of American occupation
OF the distracted republic. The first
chief Of the constitutionalists, who has
proclaimed himself provisional presi-
dent of Mexico, now proposes that the
United States pacify Mexico in the
manner in which this government
twice has established orderly govern
ment in Cuba.
The proposals are contained In a
lengthy communication which Car
rama has sent to the A.-B.-C. media
tors. A copy of the dispatch was trans
mitted to the White House by the con-
stitutionalist junta here, and Secre-
tary Bryan was requested to forward
copy to the American delegates at
Niagara Falls
Carranzas dispatch dwells at some
length on the propriety of the United
States undertaking the same mission
in Mexico that it did in Cuba.
1t points out that the United States
supervised the election of Thomas Es-
trada Palma, president of the Cuban
republic, in 1902, before the American
troops were Withdrawn and that in
course of the second occupation of the
island in 1906 Gomez was elected the
successor of Palma at a plebiscite held
under the direction Of the American
authorities.
In seeking to establish that the
Cuban and Mexican cases are parallel
Carranza quotes from the messages of
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
passages setting forth the duty of. the
United States to restore orderly gov
ernment in the island. The second
occupation Of Cuba was in accordance
with the terms of the Plat amend
ment to the Cuban constitution.
Carranza argues that there is as
much justification of the American
government assisting in the establish
ment Of permanent order in Mexico
and supervising the election as there
was in the first occupation of Cuba as
a,result of the war with Spain.
