A -
fetal statement issued from General
Carranzas headquarters at Durango
defed the A.-B.-C. peace mediators at
Niagara Falls and declared the consti-
tutionalists would tolerate no outside
interference with internal problems OF
Mexico.
The statement holds that the consti-
tutionalists, the conquerors of Mexico.
are being dictated to by the conquered.
as it is declared that the only obstacle
to the entrance of the rebels to Mexico
City is the destruction of the railroads.
The agrarian problem, which the peace
commission has been seeking to solve,
is held to be an internal problem which
requires no outside interference for
| settlement
Indeed, this is the attitude of the
constitutionalists with regard to the
! entire proceedings of the mediators, :"
| the statement declares.
In proof of their contention that
they are the conquerors of Mexico
they point to what they have already
accomplished in the way of driving
the federals from two-thirds of the
area of the country
General Villa also issued statement
reiterating his allegiance as a military
leader to Carranza
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3.-The
ACC. mediators have decided to send
al answer to the telegraphic note de-
livered to them in behalf of General
Carranza. which suggests that the con-
stitutionalists should be permitted to
participate in the Niagara Falls con-
ference.
In their response the mediators will
say that a constitutionalist representa-
tive will be admitted to the confer
ence on the condition accepted by the
American and Mexican governments,
namely: That the constitutionalist
forces shall suspend hostilities while
the peace negotiations are in progress.
The way for constitutionalist partici-
patton under this condition has been
paved by advance assurances that the
Mexican delegates win assent to it.
Washington, June 3.-Since the ar
rival of Senior Urquidi in Niagara Falls
with a note from the constituencies
junta here precipitated what was little
less than crisis in the peace confer.
ence, indications have increased of a
wide difference of opinion between the
Abe. mediators and the department
OF state. This divergence of view, In
fact. was indicated particularly in the
widely differing language of the medi-
ators' offers of their services and Mr..
Bryan's note of acceptance. The stu
alton has reached point where even
the state department with it's longing
for peace is looking for a sterner
joinder of issues.
