Washington.-The efforts to make
mediation of the Mexican troubles
successful were shifted Wednesday
from Niagara Falls to Washington, and
to Durango, Mexico, the temporary
headquarters of General Carranza.
The outcome of these latest negoti-
ations will determine largely the fate
of mediation.
Rafael Zubaran. General Carranza's
chief diplomatic agent here. received
the reply of the A b C mediators to
Carranzas note of several days ago.
While the contents of the reply were
not made public, it is understood it re-
iterated the demands originally made
by the mediators, that Carranza agree
to a cessation of hostilities between
himself and General Huerta before en-
yoyE felt the constitutionalists would
be Welcome at the mediation confer
enca.
Senior Zubaran, Immediately on re-
ceipt of this note, put it in cipher and
telegraphed it to General Carranza at
Durango.
With the ciphered note went an urg-
ent recommendation from Senor Zu-
baran and the other representatives
of the constitutionalists here that Cen
eral Carranza decline to participate in
the mediation conference on the terms
laid down by the mediators.
Orders went forth to the several de-
partments of the government to pre-
vent arms and ammunition going from
the United States from falling into the
hands of the rebels in Mexico. This
means that the navy has received in
structions to stop the Ward liner An
tilla which sailed from New York with
100000 rounds of ammunition con-
signed to the rebels at Tampico, from
delivering the cargo.
When informed that Secretary Bry-
an had also received orders to stop
the shipment of arms, the revolution
lists admitted they needed the ammu-
milton to carry on their campaign
against General Huerta and they be-
/ lieyed the action of the United States
government was for no other end than
that of forcing General Carranza to
accept the offer of the mediators.

ton waits on General Carranza, COM
mander-in-chief of the constitutionalist
forces in Mexico. He has in his pos
session a communication from the
three South American diplomats which
opens the door for constitutionalist
representation in the conferences here.
Upon his word depends whether the
entire Mexican problem will be set
tied by diplomacy or whether the con-
stitutionalists will continue to fight
their way to Mexico City.
The mediators have. in a dignified
way, smoothed the path for constitu-
tionalist participation. The United
States government wants them to ac-
| cept A rejection of the invitation
may eventually mean the withdrawal
by the Washington government of the
moral support it has been extending to
the constitutionalist cause.
The mediators are hopefully conf
dent that General Carranza will send
ENJOYS here.
