This action followed the receipt Of
note from Rafael Zubaran, special
representative of Carranza in Wash.
ington, announcing appointment, Of
Fernando Iglesias Calderon, Luis Ca.
brera and Jose Vasconcelos as Con.
stitutionalist delegates to the media
ton at which, according to the view
of the Constitutionalist chief, 1T is
sought to settle the international con-
flict which has arisen between the
United States and the Mexican repub-
lic.."
The mediators told General Carran.
"a they feared he had not duly con-
sidered" their communications re-
questing an armistice and that his
representatives should discuss the en-
tire Mexican problem.
Reach No Agreement.
Their notification was sent to Gen.
eral Carranza at Saltillo shortly after
the American and Huerta delegates
had been in conference for two hours
discussing the personnel for the new
provisional government without reach
ing any agreement.
The Carranza communications were
barely mentioned at the conference
which was devoted entirely to the
question of selecting provisional
president to succeed General Huerta.
1t was the third day of discussion of
personnel and was as fruitless as
previous meetings. AS rapidly as the
American delegates mentioned name
the Huerta delegates cited their objec-
ton to it. Absolutely no Roadway
was made.
Discussion to Continue.
The discussion Of personnel will con-
tinue until all names have been ex-
hausted. Minister Naon of Argentina
left tonight for Yale and Harvard,
where he will receive honorary de-
grees. During his three days abb
sence there will be no formal confer
ences. More conversations" as the
informal parleys are officially desig-
mated, will be held, but it is becom-
ing more apparent daily that the two
sets of deegates are far apart.
Incidentally the mediation body is

Mexicans Pick Their Man.
Washington, June. Washington
officials were hopeful of ultimate
peace in Mexico and still insistent
that negotiations were progressing sat
isfactOrily. Throughout the day Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan were
in frequent communication with the
American commissioners, Justice La.
mar and Mr. Lehman, at Niagara
Falls. This communication was re.
ported to relate to the character of
the provisional government that rep.
resentatives Of the United States and
Huerta already have agreed |
should be established pending con
stitutional election in Mexico

to have suggested for the presidency

Diplomatic Struggle on.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 15-Al.
though there were no conferences to-
lay between the Wediators and the
American or Mexican delegates. 1t was
apparent that things were making for
! great struggle in diplomacy between
he United States and the Huerta gov.
,rnment during the coming week.
While mediation has passed safely
,ver many obstacles SO far, the factor
N which peace most dependable Sc ,
ection Of provisional president &C.
;eptable to all factions-has brought
he entire mediation body to a realiza. I
ion that ultimately on this mediation
will succeed or fail. Many names q
AVE been suggested. but thus far
zone has been found suitable. The
Of names will continue for
everal days.
