[By Telegraph to The Tribune ]


Juarez, Mexico. May 2s--General
Carranza, first chief OF the revolution
lists, and General villa, commander In
chief of the Constitutionalist forces OF
the north, are in accord in opposing the
mediation plans as they now are out
lined at the Niagara Falls conference.
Carranza for tho last forty eight hours
has been in communication over d.
rect wire with Zubaran Campmany,
his representative at Washington. and
through him with the State Department
and with the American representatives
at the mediation conference.
Back Of Carranza in his opposition to
the peace plans as proposed is villa,
with his nearly thirty thousand armed
and fight seasoned rebels. 1t is known
here that on this one point at least
there is no friction between Carranza
and Villa, that Villa has told Carranza
to go as far as he likes in opposing
the peace plans and that Carranza
knows beyond doubt that Villa and
the entire army will back him up In
the stand he has taken.
1t Is understood here by men close to
Carranza that the Constitutionalist
chief, speaking for the whole people
Of rebel Mexico. has registered an en-
phatic protest to any peace agreement
which does not completely eliminate
the Huerta party from any voice in
whatever form Of temporary govern
ment for Mexico may be decided upon.
The rebels. 1t is said. will not consent
for any man who is known TO have
been associated with the Huerta gov
eminent to have a voice in the read
justment OF Mexico's internal affairs
and will not consent to any outside
interference when the readjustment is
started.
"Mexico's rehabilitation, political as
well as physical. must be by Mexicans;
no foreigners must meddle." practical
ly is the rebel programme and the rebel
ultimatum. II also IS known that Car
ranza and Villa will insist that in the
readjustment Of the land ownership Of
Mexico the policy TO be carried out
must be stated clearly in advance and
that the agreement reported by the
mediators shall be satisfactory to the
rebels.
Rebels here assert that It was Car
rama who halted the peace negotia-
tons at Niagara Falls to-day and that
while the rebels have no representa-
tives at the peace conference Win a
voice in the proceedings they never
theless are practically debating the
General Carranza's Geographic CONVEX
sation since early yesterday morning
has been carried out from Durango
over Mexican lines to JVarez and here
relayed to American lines at Ell Paso.
Strict watch has been kept at every
point where a leak would be possible
to prevent the nature OF the rebel
chiefs messages from becoming
known.
To intimate friends in Juarez Car
rama, il is declared, has outlined his
protest, and rebels who affect to know
say there can be no peace In Mexico,
no matter what the conference may
agree on, unless the rebels are in thor
ough accord with the programme car
ried out. Rebel leaders think the
United States representatives have
been assigned difficult task by the
South American mediators in being
asked 10 obtain the accord OF Carran-
"a and Villa to the plan proposed.
