Washington, May At became def
initely established yesterday that
General Carranza would not agree to
the request of the mediators that he
suspend military operations against
Huerta pending the mediation pro-
ceedings and the ENJOYS have been
advised of this decision. 1t has been
rama intended to push the army
southwark but it was not until the
last twenty-four hours that this was
communicated as a finally. 1t is said
this will have no effect on checking
the general plans Of mediation, which
will go steadily forward.
Close associates of Carranza who
have now arrived here say that no
mediation between them and Huerta
is possible and that any move on the
part of the three mediators to include
in their program a scheme for the gen
eral adjustment Of Mexican affairs
will be regarded as being outside the
scope of their labors.
Meanwhile the campaign against the
Huerta forces in the north is proceed
ing full force; the mediation work not
being considerd by the constitutional
lists as having any bearing on the re-
lations between Huerta and them
selves. The march on Mexico City,
according to those near Carranza, is
to be undertaken as soon as military
operations in the north will permit.
Carranzas refusal of an armistice
with Huerta is the first adverse reply
the mediators have received. On the
other hand, favorable comment is
made in circles close to the ENJOYS
upon the aHlenability of Huerta has
shown.

the heat and the number of Mexican
there, while Canada, being a
British colony, might suggest Euro

1t is more likely, therefore, that If
some point outside of the American
capital is finally decided upon, 1t will

Philadelphia, May 6.-The failure Of
Cramp, Mitchell & Co., bankers and
brokers, was announced on the Phila-
delphia stock exchange with liabilities
exceeding $4,000, 600.

pany, the firm was involved in a coal
products corporation, which also fail
