WILSON ANGRY AT CARRANZA.
Riunt statement of Rebel Attitude
Embarra sses L. y.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Admins
trations patience with CarranZa was
stretched almost to the breaking point
to-day when President Wilson and Secre-
tnry Bryan read the belligerent statement
authorized by the first chief" as pub
lished in the morning newspapers. The
President and the Secretary OF State had
hoped by this time to smooth the feelings
OF the mediators against Carranza and
bring about his admission TO the Niagara
Falls conference on the basis which he
had suggested.
Carranza's blunt statement has. II is
feared, spoiled the plan OF the United
states. President Wilson Is said to have
shown great feeling over the develop
ment.
notwithstanding Carranza's disposition
TO adopt an independent attitude toward
both the medators and the United States.
Washington Is expected TO stand be-
hind him. II has pulled him into the
present predicament and will be unable 70
cut loose from him because II Is convinced
that no permanent settlement OF Mexlco's
difficulties can be reached without the par
ticipation OF the Constitutionaiists.
The news OF the statement by Huerta's
delegates that he Il willing to withdraw
under certain conditions was received
here tS-n!gh! with interest 1t was ex-
pcctcd as a move by Huerta's represent
tatives 20 strengthen his hand before the
world cni TO put the Constltutionalists
publicly IT. the position of assuming full
responsibility for the restoration OF peace
in Mexico.
Al the same time the statement by
IIucrta's delegates has added to the EN-
barrassm' nts Of the United States. iha
concessions which Huerta has offerei 10
make are subs,an tally those demanda ID
hy the I'm ed States when President
Wilson first took a hand In the Mey.can
situation
Thus Huerta is driving the United
States into position where II will either
have to refuse To accept its former de-
mands or risk rupture with the Constl-
tutionalists. In fact. diplomatlsts In
WashingtOn fear that the Niagara Falls
proceedings are rapidly reaching the point
which they have foreseen from the begin
ming. when the United states will he out.
distanced by Mexican diplomacy and forced
into Il situation which would be more en-
Darrassng than the one that confronted
this Government originally.
There We're hints to-day that the United
States, while stil insisting upon the par
ticipation OF Carranza In the Niagara
Falls proceedings, will endeavor to steer a
course which VIII avoid too great a
burden OF responsibility In the event OF
failure OF the mediation programme
Diplomats in Washington do not believe
that Secretary Bryan will be able to ac.

CHIHuAHUA, June 2.-Gen. Villas fear

IN inc reply WHICH luty nave
and which will be sent tonight to Rafael
ZubaTan Capmany, Carranza's agent In
Washington, the South American dlplo-
mats explain In definite manner the
only conditions under which they will
consent to receive representatives OF the
ConstitutiOnalist cause at the mediation
conference According to well informed
persons here the reply contains a formal
demand that the first chief' suspend all
hostiiities pending the negotiations.
The mediators issued short statement
this morning in which denial Is made that
the proceedings have reached a deadlock
on the question of the Ambulance Of the
rebels. The bulletin reads as follows:
in view of newspaper reports OF dead
locks between the delegations and be-
tween the American delegates and the
medators IL should be stated that there Is
absolutely no foundation for such ver-
slons. Any differences OF opinion which
may arise In the course OF the negotia-
lions OF any mediation are OF the highest
value In order that the final solution ar
rived at may have the weight OF being
the result OF a careful and impartial con-
sideration OF all the facts from all points
OF view.
"This is the spirit inspiring the media
ton conferences and IL does not admit
Of deadlocks or differences capable OF
overcoming the sense OF responsibility
and of solidarity in the common purpose
which we are all pursuing"
Despite this statement II IN known %
~ those who are connected with the
r dlatlon negotiations that the question
Of the participation OF Carranza In the
mediation proceedings brought the nego-
,iatlons to an absolute standstill.
