 NIAGARA FALLS. June P. -- Through the invitation of the United States government and the good offices of the three medIators. the representatives of the two war ring factions in Mexico will soon be brought face to face in an info maj conference, distinct from the media tion proceedings, to save Mexico from furthe- spoliation, and the pos sbility of foreign war, the con- stitutionalists apparently having been prevailed upon to meet the Huerta delegates in a peace confer ence whose object will be the end ing of the civil strife of the last eighteen months. The belief IS gen. eral that this plan stands an excel lent chance of being carried to sue cess if recent differences between Carranza and Villa are sufficiently composed to guarantee that the con stitutionalist delegation may work without embarrassment Arrange ments for the meeting are yet in the formative stage.
 The final word on details has not come from Carranza, but it is the expectation tonight of the mediators, and the American and Huerta dele gates, that by tomorrow or Wednes- day at the latest, they will be able to announce not only the personnel Of the constitutionalist delegation but tke place of the meeting and it's general purposes. The new plan has buoyed up hopes of the principals to mediation The South American en- voys discussed it briefly with the American delegates and later had conference with Huerta delegates. who were formally asked if they would meet with the constitutional ist representatives The Huerta dele gates replied that they were willing to enter into any conference with their countrymen which had for its object the prevention of bloodshed and the destruction of property. and which sought to establish the nation al government on firm basis. The conversation between the mediators and the Huerta delegates then turned to such international questions as could be advanced in the absence of the constitutionalists. and particular ly as to the conditions under which American forces can be withdrawn from Vera Cruz, and which are eX- pected to result from the satiSfac- tory establishment of the new pro- Sisional government. The plan which the mediators have worked out is to confine the formal mediation con : ferences to the consideration of in ternational questions. and are treat ing with Huerta and the American delegates on those points. On inter nal questions Huerta and the con stitutionalist delegates will be ex- pected to confer alone. The medi- ators and the American delegates would thus not interfere with the settlement of problems confined to the country, but would lend their counsel whenever it might be helpful, and of course point out under what conditions recognition would be ex- tended.
 With the constitutionaliSts and Hu- erta delegates discussing names for the provisional presidency and internal questions, the mediators and American delegates would await the outcome of their efforts before signing the final protocol. It even has been suggested that the mediators might take short recess while the informal parleys be- tween the constitutionalists and Huer- ta delegates were progressing.
 Fernando Iglesias Calderon is eX- pected to head the Carranza delega ton. He is due in Washington tomor- TOW. There he will confer, it is be- iieved, with Luis Cabrera. representa- tive Of Carranza, with whom Minister Naon talked on his recent trip tC Washington
 Although there was no official an- nouncement here. it was understood that Carranza, through Mir. Cabrera
