First Formal Statement

Washington, June Unconstitutional representatives in Washington tonight is- sued their first formal statement since the Niagara Falls mediation conference began. Luis Cabrera, on behalf of him. self and his colleagues. Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos, outlined the con- stitutionalists attitude toward the ques- ton of representation at Niagara Falls maintaining that it is for the United States and not the medators or the rep resentatives of General Huerta to decide ltionalist cause took r-art in the delibe- ratons.
 MT. Cabrera pointed out that General Carranza and his adherents thoroughly appreciated the good will of the mediators and were grateful to chem for the eff. forts to bring peace to Mexico. Their belief that the United Statds is the proper arbiter, he said> on this question, was based upon careful consideration of the underlying principles of mediation. not upon any distrust of the represen- tatives of the three South American na- tions.
 Should the constituencies participate in the Niagara conference, the statement said, is the question to be decided be- fore any other point Who is to decide this question? Is it Huerta? Is it the me- diators? Is it the United States? Certainly not Huerta. The mediators, as such, are not interested parties in the agreement to settle differences between the United States and Mexico. The chief function of the mediator Is to limit his efforts to bringing the parties together and any &C., tion having the effect of forcing them apart is opposed to the very purposes of the mediation.

DRIEST SPRING IN
 YEARS IN BARBOUR
Crops Need Moisture and Only Small Boats Are Being Used on the
 ChattahOOchee

Eufaula, June 1.-(Special )-The past two months have been the driest April and May that Eufaula and this section have had in many years In the last few years the April rainfall has been exceedingly heavy, but the two past months have fallen down on rain. Wells are reported to be going dry and creeks and streams are lower now than for period of 20 years. The Chattahoochee, which can usually be navigated without difficulty until July and August, Is full of sandbars now and only the smallest boats are being used on the river. That cotton which is up and has a comparatively good stand has still to suffer much from the drouth, but the corn prospect is beginning to look rather gloomy ac- cording to the farmers. The cotton crop is reported to be in first class condition and there ought to be a bumper yield if good seasons reign from now on.
 The physicians of the city, as well as the public in general, are awaiting with interest the report of pr. P. B. Mess, state bacteriologist, who spent a day here Investigating sanitary and health conditions He took specimens of both the city and artesian water, as well as data regarding present cases of sickness.

Argue With MediatOrs

The American delegates argued at length with the mediators today about constitutionalist participation and at the conclusion of the conference Justice La mar said that he was "hopeful' and the views presented were mot so far apart. ' Discussion of the subject will be contin- ued tomorrow. The mediators have not reached a decision and probably will not do so for a few days.
 In the meantime the three diplomats are endeavoring to get more information from Washington and Mexico City re- lative to the essentials to the peace plan already outlined. General Huerta sent long message to his representatives here about individuals for the new provis- ional government, making some new sug- gestions in this regard The mediators conferred with the Mexican delegates who promptly communicated with Mexico City

 Would Not Consent
 'No one, the constitutionalist leaders point out, who has had any acquaintance with the object and purpose of their movements, would fancy that they would ever consent to have anything to do with any one heretofore connected with Huer- ta. The constitutionalists make it plain beyond question they will recognize a government established under the plan of Guadalupe at the triumph of the revolu- ton. According to this plan the com- maHder-in- of the constitutionalist army will be the provisional president of the Mexican republic while the elections are being verified and constitutional order is restored. They point out the fact the conquerors are not usually wont to permit the conquered to dictate the terms of peace, which is practically what is to be asked of them by the commission. Con stitutionalists are especially caustic in their comment on the proposal of the commission to take up the agrarian ques- ton and propose some form of settle ment They declare that this is purely Internal problem and that they will tol- crate no outside interference.
 Indeed, this is their attitude with re- gard to the entire proceedings of the me- diation commission. They declare that if let alone they will settle the entire Mexican problem in a few months, and in proof of their ability to do this point to what they have already accomplished in the way of driving the federals from two-thirds of the country with the inn minent prospect of securing the other third In no great time.

What They Have Done

They point also to what they nave already done and are doing in settling the agrarian problem.
 When shown statements bearing in ference that, should the Niagara Falls plan not be agreeable to the constitutions alists they would be forced to accept 1t or be crushed. the constitutionalist lead ask how and by whom? They point out that the alleged object of the Mi agara Falls conference was to promote peaceful settlement. With nearly two- thirds of Mexico in their control and now being restored to a basis of peace after four years of civil strife, the constitu- tionalist leaders fail to see what peaceful measures could be brought to bear to constrain them to accept the plan. They assert that with an army of approximately % GOO men in the field, the occupation Of the remainder of Mexico, the capture or the capital and the elimination of Huerta and his followers is a matter of not more than two months Should any or all of the foreign nations party to the confer ence at Niagara decide, as result or that conference called to promote peace, to use force to secure acceptance or their plan, the constitutionalists feel that 1t would present a situation so contradictory as to be ludicrous.'

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 1-More ex- plcit information about the attitude of General Carranza than was contained Tn last communication brought by Juan F. IIruuidi or the unofficial statement to the press telegraphed from Durango tonight, is awaited by the mediators before decid- ing on the subject of constitutionalist representation here. This may be ob- tained from the Washington govern ment. t,
 The mediators are preparing reply to the message brought py Crquidi. The statement from Durango did not clarify the situation as to the points they are interested in: whether Carranza will agree to an armistice for 10 days or two weeks or more, and whether his repre- sentatives would agree to discuss the en- tire subject of pacification of Mexico.
 The expression from Durango did not alter the opinion of the mediators toward the constitutionalists. The diplomats claim that from the very outset they have kept the interests of the constitu- tionalists in mind and have planned to give them as great share in the new
