GENERAL AMNESTY IS DESIRED

G[N[kM MNtSlI N pfNkfU Rebel Chief, However, Declares Uncon-

 Authorities Only Basis Upon Which
 Parleys Can Result Successfully.
 Washington, July 17.-Administra- ton officials saw peace looming today on the horizon of Mexican politics. Francisco CarbajaIs informal state- ment to the Washington government that he intended to retire in favor| of Carranza, constitutionalist chief, and Carranza's announcement that he was willing to negotiate with the fed- erals for peaceful transfer of power| in Mexico City, was regarded as prac- tical assurance that the rule of blood shed was near an epd fin the south ern republic.
 The road remained to be cleared however. for negotiations between the| two Mexican factions. Carbajal, Huerta's successor, seeks a proclama- ton of general amnesty for the forces| which fought against the northern| armies. Members of the revolution ary junta in Washington expressed doubt whether Carranza would be willing to grant that. They took the attitude that persons who turned against Madero should be compelled rf lC n., bat they contended, potential possibiI- ities of counter uprisings would be eliminated.
 Crux of Situation.
 The crux of the situation appeared to hang on the extent of the quarter that Carranza might be willing toI grant his fallen foes.
 That all stumbling blocks would be swept aside, however, for the peace full entry of Carranza into the Mex ican capital was the belief generally expressed.
 Fears expressed over the attitude that Villa might take toward the new turn in the situation, partially wers| discounted by his statement that there was mo need for apprehension rel garding my stay in the north. He| said he expected to move his troopsI from Chihuahua state toward Mex-| leo City within the next few days. Demands Unconditional Surrender.
 From his headquarters in Monterey Carranza announced his plan of con- ducting negotiations for establish- | ment of the constitutionalist govern ment in Mexico without further sac- rifice of life. He declared, however. that unconditional surrender would be the only basis upon which the par leys could result successfully.
 The South American envoys ana administration officials continued their efforts today for restoration of peace. John R. Sillman, President personal representative. had been instructed to urge Carranza to give guarantees for the life and property of those who had upheld Huerta.
