NEUTRAL CANDIDATE
NOT FOR CARRANZA
Cabrera and Zubaran Insist in
Buffalo on Unconditional
Settlement.
TBy The Associated Press.l

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 16.-Messrs.
Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, the
Carranza agents with whom the Amer
lean delegates 10 the peace conference
conferred in Buffalo to-day. made clear
first Of all that the condition imposed by
the mediators--the declaration of an
armistice-was an impossible one for them
to fulfil in advance of some definite
agreement on a peace plan.
Under a long armistice. he said, all
sorts Of conditions might arise which
might make 1t impossible for the chiefs to
hold their men together. An armistice
would accrue only to the benefit of Gen
eral Huerta, the weaker force. Should
the negotiations fail the Consttutionalists
would not be able to resume their cam
paign with the same vigor as when it was
interrupted.
Both Mr.. Cabrera and Mr.. Zubaran add
ed that they hoped there might be some
peaceful way of solving the Mexican prob
lem, but councils and mediation confer
ences. they said. were valueless unless
they considered the terms which the Con-
stitutionalists demanded.
Mr.. Cabrera declared that the Constitu-
tionalist army would never lay down its
| arms, the various chiefs would never
agree to any change of present plans I'M
! less some one so prominent in the Con-
/ stitutionalist ranks as TO guarantee their
/ forces absolute control were elevated 10
the Presidency.
The plan Of Guadalupe, drawn up by
General Carranza and signed by all his
chiefs, also camc into discussion. The
two Constituencies representatives ex-
planned that allegiance TO this plan had
been sworn by the Constitutionalist
leaders and could not be changed unless
something more acceptable than it were
10 be offered as Substitute. The plan
provides for q military conquest of Mex
leo City and the establishment there of
General CarranZa as Provisional Presi-
dent until the country is pacified and
preparations are made for a general cleo
ton.
Mr.. Cabrera moreover argued that un-
| less the Huerta delegates were ready
TO arrange for a peaceful surrender II
was useless to discuss neutral persons
! for the Presidency He said that in the
event of surrender guarantees of am
nesty for the deserving would be given.
The American delegates left very much
depressed. Mr.. Lehman came over 10
the Canadian side tonight and talked at
length with Ambassador da' Cana. He
did not stop for his usual few minutes
gossip with the newspaper men. His
manner indicated that crisis in the
mediation had been reached, though mis-
words gave no inkling of what the future
might hold.
