If One is Created by Peaceful
Agreement between Rebels
and New Government.
TROOPS ARE TO REMAIN
In Mexico until Government in
That Country is Recognized
by Your Uncle Samuel.

| WASHINGTON, D. c.. July is
/ The United States today instructed
John r. Silliman. American consul
at Saltillo, to inform Genera, Carran-
"a that If he arrived at a peaceful
J ernment for the transfer Of power at
! Mexico City. recognition will be ex-
tended to the resultant administra-
ton.
!, Should Carranza refuse to COM
plete the settlement Of the internal
conflict by diplomatic means and In
sist on forcible entry into Mexico
/ City recognition will be deferred un-
I til there is a,legal election. Ameri-
can forces. according to present
/ plans, will not be withdrawn from
I Vera Cruz until government is rec
ognized.
This determination was reached
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan after the viewpoint OF the
/! South American /.ediators was laid
! before them.
Under the terms Of protocol
signed at Niagara Falls the United
States. Argentine. Brazil and Chile
went on record promising recognition
to the government set up by any
agreement between the two Mexican
factions. To yitalize that protocoi
the Washington government and the
( mediators now are bending their ef-
forts.
Tho first move toward effecting a
transfer of government to the Con-
stitutionalfsts already has been taken
/. by Carabajau. The three peace COM
missioners on their way to confer
with Carranza or his division COM
mander. General Obregon, are
thoroughly Constltutionalists in their
political belief and were conspicuous
members of the Maderist party. They
also are close personal friends OF Car
bajal. He has sent them to confer
with the Constitutionalist chief be-
cause he believes they can obtain sat
isfactory terms for the transition of
the government.
Washington diplomats generally re-
ceived messages from their legations
at Mexico City today confirming the
resignation Of General Huerta. Min
lister Suarez, of Chile, said 1t was his
belief that Carbajal merely wanted
guarantee that the lives and property
OF the people in federal territory
would be conserved through general
amnesty proclamation. When that
was arranged he believed transition
would be promptly effected.
Rafael Cubaran and Luis Cabrera,
two Of General Carranza's represen-
tatives here, said they were unaware
what would be the next move in the
situation. but thought the. sending of
the Carbajal commission to confer
with Carranza probably would have
tangible results.
The only cloud in the horizon OF
peace in Mexico was the uncertainty
about the attitude OF General Villa.
Information from reliable sources was
that he is concentrating his forces in
Chihuahua and northern Mexico so
as to make vigorous demands on Car
rama. It was reported that when the
conference Of generals is called at
Mexico City, after General Carranza
enters there, Villa adherents may at
tempt to substitute another first chief
for Carranza. Constitutionalists with
Carranzan sympathy made no secret Of
the fact that they are apprehensive of
Villas attitude.
For that reason they are working
hard to obtain recognition for Car
ranza's government SO that the en-
hargo on arms may be sharply en-
forced along the border and any
counter revolution nipped in the in
cipient stage.
