blB III 'He progress OF the HeulatlOH
proceedings was reached tonight.
While awaiting answers from the HUI
crta government and the United States
to the tentative plan for a new pro
visional government In Mbxico the
question of admitting constitutional
lists to conferences before an agree
ment or protocol Is signed, loomed up
as likely tu influence the decision of
the American government on the plans
already outlined.
The mediatorB late today called in
the Mexican delegates to learn IL Gea-
eral Huerta had approved the main
points OF the peace plan. The Mexi.
cans said they had received no reply
but they telegraphed again, urging i
quick response. The American del
egates reported that Washington had
not acted on the plan,
The South American diplomats did
not broach the subject of constitution
alist representation to the Mexicans or
show them the note delivered here yes-
terday by Joan Uruidi, messenger Of
Carranza.
The mediators however. let It be
known that they would answer the
note. They pointed out that they had
found nothing in the note which could
be interpreted as a desire to partici-
pate in the conferences on the sub
1ect of pacifylng Mexico.
They hold that General CarTanza
has not indicated desire to take up
internal questions. On the other hand
IL is said that the Washington govern
ment agrees with General Carranza.

Intimations have come here that the
United States does not wish to run
the risk OF strained relations with the
constitutionalists, who would be cer-
tain to resent any radical adjustment
OF internal affairs. IL is because of
this situation that the Americans de-

brought into the mediation. The Inn
preston prevails that final answer,
OF the United States on the essential OF
the peace plan Will not be given until
! there Is definite understanding on this
point.
TIL Huerta delegates have left the
matter of constitutionalist representa-
ton entirely to the mediators.
Unless the American government as
sumes an ipsistent attitude on con-
stitutionalist representation. details of
the agreement between the United
States and the Huerta government
will be worked out in few days. 9th
erwise the mediation board Will prob
ably sit for several weeks longer.
Washington, May SO.-Gvery indica-

with the fact that the Washington

taken to indicate there might be a.
