Washington, May 1S-General Huerta has authorized the Mexi-
can mediation delegates to submit his resignation, in case such a
coarse is found necessary to a settlement in peace negotiations. This
was stated positively in dispatches today from a thoroughly com
petent diplomatic source in Mexico City, to one of the foreign repre-
sentatves here and confirms intimations given by friends of the
delegates here yesterday.
According to this information from Mexico City General Huerta
at nrst authorized the delegates to discuss the question OF only
Iampco conflict leading to the American occupation of Vera Cruz
Later the Mexican dictator, it is reported, came to recognize the
necessity OF a broader settlement and then conveyed to the delegates
assurances that he was prepared to step down should this course be
found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern to diplomats in Mexico City
now is that of the form of administration to be established during the
1nterregnum before a constitutionally elected president could as
sumo office. No intimations concerning the name of a possible sue
cessor to Eluerta We're contained IN the dispatch; this subject being
one which it would be necessary to consult the opinion of con
