,ci,e n. rromise OF the American dele
gates that IL they secured any infcrma-
go, from Washington regarding the
--.,or.rces Of the administration for
rrovisional President Of Mexico they
mould communicate with the mediators
.,d hold a session to-day, there was no
.,ssion. and it is assumed that Wash
,nston failed 70 send the instructions
sought by its delegates. In the ali
sence OF advices from Washington me
dalton has been al an absolute stanc-
still throughout the day.
While the situation OF General
pucrta is obviously desperate, it is not
believed that the Mexican delegates
will make concessions beyond certain
roint. They are willing 10 accept as
nrovsional President a man Of known
Ccn-titutionalist sympathies, provided
re ie q man Of integrity and high chat
scter. but they will not accept an &C
five leader Of the rcvolutionists, BE-
cause they believe. rightly or wrongly,
that such a government will serve only
70 produce p reign of terror in Mexico
CITY. and under il the proposed elec-
ton would be a fraud and travesty.
American Intervention.
To the suggestion that il no peace is
made here Carranza will ultimately
take Mexico City and become dictator
~ al Mexico they reply that such
step would promptly entail American
Intervention. because neither this ma
lion nor any other could endure such
reign of terror as would follow q com
rlete Constituencies victory, and they
would rather risk the danger Of a shor;
reriod az unbridled license than by
their own act consign their country 70
What they believe would be a long
period Of outlawry and outrage, such
2 would ensue from the installation OF
su improper man for President, and
which would be prolonged because he
game.into power with the recommend
.tiou % the medstors.
While the American delegates admit
they would like 10 consult the Car
rguz;sta delegates before they commit
Themselves much further. the prospect
az arrival Of the latter still appears TO
be IN Doubt
n. as is reported in some quarters.
Carranza purposes to AIT until he
D., arms that his delegates will be ad
united. either formally or Informally, to
Tho peace conference without his de
,iariue an arrnistice, it is doubtful If
they Will ever start for Niagara Falls
Arr'istce Essential.
Tho mcdiators will not admit the
Consttutionalists 20 participate in the
conference until Csrrsnzs proclsims an
nrmistice. They have sought in every
way 10 make this plain and they insist
that nothing will sUerve them from
their purposes. II the United States
should come out with fat declaration
that the administration al Washing
ton made admission Of the Constitu
tionalists a prerequisite 10 peace the
mediators would promptly adjourn the
conference without delay.
n the Constitutionalist delegates are
really anxious for peace and will come
here 10 consult with and advise the
American delegates the mediators
would not make the slightest objection.
As for the MeXicans. it is probable that
they also would talk informally with
the Csrranzistas although they will
not say so.
II is expected that there will be a full
conference tomorrow, and unless the
Americans give some evidence Of a de-
sire for such a meeting and q willing
ness 10 expedite the negotiations the
mediators will take steps 10 impress
upon the administration in Washing
ton their Impotence at the prolonged
end, from their point Of view, unneces-
eary delay.
