Mexican Factions to Name Proyi-
sional President, With Assurance
of Recognition.
Terms for composing all interna-
tional differences between the United
States and Mexico have been conclud-
ed. The conditions under which dip
lomatic relations will be resumed
were embodied in a protocol signed
Wednesday night by the ambassador
from Brazil, the ministers of Chile
and Argentina and the American and
Huerta delegates.
The character of the settlement IS
not expected to arouse opposition
from the Constitutionalists, who
would participate in it, and to large
degree, it would mould the adjust
ment of all internal disputes. When
q new provisional government is es-
tablished to succeed that headed By
Gen. Huerta the result Of mediation
recognized as triumph for Pan
American diplomacy-wil become
effective.
Coincidentally with the action TAX
en- Wednesday night it was announc-
ed that the actual selection OF pro-
visionaI president, and the osgani-
cation of the new government viii be
left to an informal conference Of rep
resentatiyes OF the Constitutional
: ists-Luis Cabrera, Rafael Zubaran
and Jose yasconcelos-and the
Huerta delegates to the mediation
conference.
No formal adjournment OF media
ton viii be taken, but there will be
no sessions while Representatives OF
the two Mexican factions endeayor to
agree on the personnel Of the new
government, agrarian and education
3 al reforms and other internal prob
z lens.
Wednesday nights formal session
OF mediators and delegates prepared
the way for the complete settlement
3 of differences between the United
States and Mexico growing out OF the
failure Of q Huerta officer at Tampico
to salute the Stars and Stripes. The
single outstanding proviso in the pro
toeol is that the international prob
lem shall be declared adjusted on
the establishment Of q new proyi-
sional government. The protocol
sets forth:
teThat the United States and Ar
gentina, Brazi! and Chile-the me-
dating countries-shan recognize
!. the new provisional government and
that thenceforth diplomatic relations
between the United States and Mex
leo shall be resumed. =
seThat the United States demands
no indemnity and does not further
exact satisfaction for any OF the in
cidents connected with the patrol OF
Mexican waters and invasion OF the
country.
ssThat q commission shall be ap-
pointed to adjust private claims
growing out of the revolution and
internal incidents"
The protocol was drafted early
Wednesday and its phraseology tel
egraphed to Washington for ap-
proval. At 9 o'clock Wednesday
night word came from President
wilson and Secretary Bryan author-
izing American delegates to sign It.
The effort to finish work on inter
national points in peace plsn so that
an might be complete before the con-
yening Of informal meetings Of Con-
stitutionalists and Huerta represen-
tatiyes has been in progress since
: Friday. Then President Wilson IN
formed Minister Naon in Washing
ton that the American government
desired to have the Constitutional
S ist and Huerta government compose
their differences as a previous con-
d;tion to the settling Of the interna-
tional problem
The results of the mediators' work
Wednesday night places the issue
8 soua-ely before the representatives
Of the two warning factions. On
them will rest the responsibility for
failure or success Of the peace plans
ss a whole. Luis Cabrera, Rafael
Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos, the
Constitutionalist delegates, are IN
Washington and should arrive at
Niagara Falls in another day or two.
2 The sending to Washington Of Fer
nando IngIesias Calderon, whom 1t
had been expected would head the
Constitutionalist delegation, caused
. some confusion in plans, but 1t was
believed Wednesday night that Cal
Ederon's mission to the capital mere
-ay was to substitute for Zubaran dur
ing his absence from Washington.
Cabrera and Vasconcelos originally
were designated by Gen. Carranza to
attend the mediation conferences.
There was little said Wednesday
night about Gen. Villas attitude to-
ward the sending Of delegates, but 1t
was believed he was in thorough &C
cord with the proposition. Reliable
information has come that he is
ready to accept the result Of the con-
ferences, and it is not unlikely that
he will be kept informed Of its pro-
gress.
At the close of the conference Am
basasdor Da Cana gave out a state
ment embracing the protocol signed
Wednesday night. He announced
that three articles Of the peace plan
had been protocolized and that these
related only to the international side
of the Mexican problem.
