HURETA DELEGATES TO
MEET REBEL ENJOYS

Washington, June 29.-President
Wilson early today received a lengthy
message from the American delegates
at Niagara Falls and officials close to
the executive expressed the opinion
that a meeting between the Huerta
and constitutionalists representatives
was practically assured. The message
received today is said to nave reported
the results Of a conference between the
American delegates Minister Naon.
While it is intimated in some quarters
that an informal conference between
the opposing Mexican factions will ter
inmate in failure. it was made clear
that President Wilson is viewing ne
gotiations optimistically. "
The state department was today no
titled through the Brazilian embassy
that General Huerta was willing to
have Vice Consul Silliman return to his
post at Saltillo. The request to Huerta
to return the American consul, whom
his troops imprisoned and threatened
with death, to a territory yer which
he has now 10 control, was merely a
formality and to preserve the good faith
of the United States in respect of a
promise it made when it secured the
release of Silliman from his precarious
position. The constitutionalists now
entirely control Saltillo and the ur,
rounding territory.
