 Just before the statement was is- sued the Mexican delegates had a Afterward they telegraphed General Huerta to send them the names of the men who will be satisfactory to him for D aces in the new provisional gov ernment to consist of two men chosen by Huerta. two by the constitutional ists and a neutral provisional presi- dent selected by common agreement of all parties. The first four are To compose the cabinet but are to be morally obligated by the terms of any agreement reached here to share equally the responsibility of fair ad- ministration which vii be expected not only to conduct a general election but to make beginning on internal reforms.
 It was just before the mediators, the Mexican delegates and the Am ericaI representatives entered the banquet given for them tonight by the Associated Canadian clubs that type. written copies of the position of Gen eral Huerta were given out The Am. erican commissioners read it eagerly.
 The Mexican delegates expressed their qualification that they had been able to make the announcement and confirm press reports on the subjec,. The mediators made no comment but the effect of the statement on the at titude of the constituionalists toward mediation was the subject of intense interest on al. sides
 By subordinating personalities and declaring themselves in favor of treating internal as well as interna- tiOnal questions while not yielding their national sovereignty, the Mexi- can delegates, it was generally agreed here, had launched strong argument against the constitutional ist position. The general view was that if the Huerta representatives had found no impropriety in dealing here with the internal Mexican situa- tion the world generally would not approve of technical objections to the same course which might be offered by General Carranza.
 Whether an armistice could be ar- ranged was another topic of interest. The mediators are known to feel that if tne consttutionalists are sin cerely desirous of restoring peace in Mexico they could arrange an armis- tice for ten days or two weeks with out ceasing military preparations The mediators are of the opinion that the next two or three days will develop clearly whether the constitu- tionalists are really seeking peace.
 The explicit statement from the Huerta delegates encouraged the three diplomats greatly in that it set before the world as practically ac- complished one of the principal points in the dispute between the United States and the Huerta gov ernment. The elimination of Presi- dent Huerta, though never before publicly admitted, nevertheless has been privately considered here the fundamental aim of the conference.
 The responsibility, if the progr m should be upset now, the mediators feel will devolve on the constitution alists. One of the three envoys said today that the mediators from the outset had recognized General Car ranza as a factor in the international situation. Concrete evidence of this, he declared, was the rendering of good offices to him on par with AItutl dl Ilutll ld anu tue AullCu States, It was when General Car ranza refused to declare an armistice that the invitation was withdrawn, but ever since then a misunderstand- ing has existed about a telegram sent by, General Carranza to the me diators asking for the specific points which would be discussed here so that he might duly instruct his dele gates. This telegram was not an swered the mediators have claimed, because they had made themselves sufficiently clear in a previous tele- gram. The note brought last Friday by Urquidi expressed surprise that this inquiry by the constitutionalist chief had not been answered. The mediators, it is understood, have in their note to Zurbaran reiterated that the chief points in which they are concerned are a suspension of hos tilities in the civil strife and discus sion of Mexicos internal as we'll as
