Washington. May 1.-The Mexican
situation tn all its aspects was again
before the South American mediators
when they resumed their sessions at
the Argentina legation today. They
planned as their first move to 20 to-
gether to the state department for a
reply to their request for the appoint
ment of delegate from the United
States, with his name, If the appointee
had been determined on. The Huerta
delegate. it was believed, would be
either Joaquin d. Casasus, now on his
way here from Carlsbad, or Zamacona
=. 1nclan, former Mexican financial ad-
wiser at London; and the Carranza DEL
egate probably Rafael Zubaran, now
here.
It was learned from an authoritative
source Carranza had sent further
telegram to the mediators inquiring as
to their request for the appointment Of
Carranza delegate, the extent of his
functions. and whether this would be
limited to the controversy between the
United States and Huerta, beyond
which Carranza has shown no signs Of
negotiating.
Tense Situation at Mexico City.
The tense situation at Mexico City
is giving much concern, as it is real
lied a crisis may come from that quar-
ter at any time, but the mediators are
determined to go steadily forward in
shaping the procedure for their meet
ing with the delegates from the three
parties.
Their sessions continue to be most in
formal, no vote having been taken up
to this time. and all decisions having
been reached by unanimous agreement.
They began late this morning having
been tossther until nearly I am. last
night
IlsiyN carsanza Will .Aeceds.
In ciEc1es cl0se to the Huerta repre-
sentattves the news OF Carranza's fat
refnsal %; a1Ese to an ai7nistice was
not taken as final. It was pointed out
1t would have been surprising IL the
constitutionalists had adopted an
armistice on the eve of getting posses
sion Of Saltillo. Once in possession Of
that federal stronghold the attitude Of
the constitutionalists toward the armis-
tice might be modified. General Huer-
ta1s reported utterance that he will
never resign is not taken seriously in
Huertista circles here. He is said to be
sincerely desirous Of bringing the
whole controversy to speedy end.
Husrta May Quit.

capinet OF Jose Lopez Portillo Ro-
Jas. the foreign minister, coupled with
veports that there Is growing under
against the Huerta government. is in
terpreted as foreshadowing a change in
the situation in the federal capital.
some Of the closest observers here
OF the governments situation express
an inclination to the view that Senor
Portillo's resignation may clear the
way eventually for the appointment
OF a foreign minister who, under the
Mexican constitution, could succeed
General Huerta as president.
In these circles 1t is pointed out that
while yenustiano Carranza declined to
treat with General Huerta, he might
consent to enter into negotiations with
f,is successor and thus facilitate medi-
alton.
The effect Of the continued rebel sue
cesses in the north and the outcome of
The pending attack on Tampico may
bring about q rapid change in Mexico
City.
Huerta Names Delegates.
General Huerta has informed the
mediators that d. Emilio Rabasa, al
Mexican ajurist. and Augustine Cara
Calindo, under secretary OF justice,
have been selected as delegates to con-
fer with the mediators and that
third name will be submitted tomor-
row.
Constitutionalists and Huerta lead
ers at. Manzilio, Mexico, have been ex-
changing bitter messages. according tol
Z report 10 the navy department today
from Rear Admiral Howard, who mas
read several of the letters. Admiral
Howard said all was quiet at Manzan-
lilo. He made no mention of the re-
ported bloving up Of the Mexican liner

eald that the American representatives
had not yet been chosen.
Secrstasy Of State Bryan after con-
fcrring with the president said this
