NO INDEMNITY FROM
MEXICO
CONTINUED from first Pager.

me plan written py the american
delegates, after consultation with the
Washington government, includes sew
eral counter propositions of which the
Huerta delegates will be advised to-
day. A full conference of all delegates
and mediators is planned for today or
Wednesday. This is for the formal
consideration and final drafting of the
protocol.
The Mexican delegates let II be
known that while they hoped the An
tilla's cargo would be returned to New
York, they were not disposed to in
terrupt mediation even If the ammuni
ton finally got ashore.
Final word was awaited last night
from the American government as to
whether the Antilla would be permitted
to land her arms. The Spanish am
bassador at Washington Is expected
to receive from Secretary Bryan the
reply to the note addressed originally
by the Huerta government to the me-
diators and referred to Washington by
the American delegates here. The
Huerta delegates wrote the note be-
fore they knew blockade had been
ordered, but when General Huerta
itaiuc0 tletl lis WtIc
taking the matter up through diplo-
matte channels he suspended the
blockade.
The Mexican delegates asked If the
American government would object to
action being taken by the Mexican
gunboats to prevent the landing of the
ammunition. The delegates wanted to
know If the right of search in this case
would be regarded by the American
government as violation Of the armis-
tlce between the United States and
Mexico.
Mexioans Are Optimistic.
The Mexican delegates are optimis-
tic and see the end of the parleys here.
They are assuming that the American
government will deal with the consti-
tutionalists If the latter do not come
into the negotiations mrnediately.
It Is known authoritatively that the
original terms set by the mediators for
constitutionalist participation-the dec
laration of an amistice and broaden
ing the scope of discussion from in
ternational to internal questions-still
is not acceptable to the constitution
alists, though official word to that eff
feet is lacking
1t is understood that a diplomatic
way of approaching the internal ques-
lions would meet the approval of the
constitutionalists, but the mediators
are insistent on an armistice. The con-
stitutionalists. according to informal
expressions, are DESTROYS of discussing
solution of the Mexican problem by
diplomacy, but they are unwilling to
disrupt their military campaign until
they have good reason to believe the
plan under discussion meets their APP
proval.
The mediators now are trying to
evolve a method by which the peace
plan will meet the approval of the con-
stitutionalists before protocol is
signed, though the American govern
ment may conduct their negotiations
with the constitutionalists.
There is a feeling of confidence that
the constitutionallsts eventually will
approve the plans being worked out.
While details of the peace plan are
necessarily withheld until there Is
final agreement, 1t is known that a
large share in the new provisional gov
eminent will be given to the constitu-
tionalists.
Neutral Person at Head.
The plan calls for the establishment
of a provisional government, at the
head of which shall be a neutral per-
son with cabinet of four persons rep
resenting the varied political interests
of Mexico.
No other internal questions are in
cluded in the peace plan as recommen-
l.
to agrarian and educational reforms
are phrased in such a way as to con-
stitute advice rather than dictation.
| The plan includes provision for gen.
eral amnesty, the payment of claims,
| the withdrawal of the American forces
| from Vera Cruz and kindred subjects
which would develop when General
Huerta retired and a new provisional
government was installed
The new provisional president would
name his own cabinet, but men vir-
tually selected here would be chosen
| by him. Constitutionalists would have
voice in the formation Of this cab
| met, as at least two of their party
would be named. The new government
would be given formal recognition by
the United States and thus enabled to
float loans and rehabtlitate Mexico's
finances Already there is talk of a
$4,000 900 loan to cover obligations
arising out of four years of almost
| incessant revolution.
| Statement by Mexioans.
The Mexican delegation made public
last night extracts from their note to
the mediators, which brought about
the reuuest to the American goyern-
ment for a declaration of its inter-
probation of the armistice and its re-
lation to the Antilla shipment of arms.
The extract follows:
According to news published in the
press, an hour before the Antilla had
been cleared without difficulty by the
fiscal authorities of New York, said
authorities received the general order
issued by the Washington government
forbidding the shipment of arms to
