Washington. May 5.-General Car
rama and the Constitutionalists were
eliminated from proceedings OF the
three South American envoys who
have undertaken to solve the Mexican
problem by mediation.
1t is known also that the United
States, refusing to agree to a formal
armistice or permit any question OF
national honor to go before the con-
ferees, may decline to name a medi-
ator
Up to late hour last night Bryan
had not replied to the mediators as
to the appointment of American dele
gates The length OF the envoys' con-
! ference with Secretary Bryan led to
the belief that some of the crucial
questions were being approached.
At the same time the military as
pect OF the situation became increas-
ingly prominent again. General Funs-
ton reported renewed demands by the
Mexican federal outposts for the sur
render of the waterworks supplying
Vera Cruz. No shots were fired. and
the Mexicans retreated. General Funs-
ton, after receiving information that
federal troops were moving artillery
down the railroad from the capital
toward Vera Cruz, probably for Cen
eral Gustavo Mas at Soledad. con-
ferred with the officers of the fleet.
It was arranged to land a number of
field pieces from the warships and
park them where they would be read
lily available.
General Funston voiced the pre-
vailing spirit in military quarters in
inquiring as to what steps the United
States contemplated, in view of the
threatening situation.
Secretary Garrison conferred with
his military chiefs, but said no fur
ther orders had been given for the
movement of troops, and none are con-
templated during the period of nego-
tiations. The Fourth or Sixth brigade
| of the Second division of the army,
with headquarters at Texas City, is
ready, however. and could quickly go
If more troops are needed
Word that Huerta was in desperate
straits came from many quarters. One
dispatch from a foreign minister at
Mexico City said briefly OF Huerta

tails. Still another referred to the
doubtful attitude Of the troops here.
tofore loyal to Huerta.
Information also came tnat the
| quarrels between General Blanquet.
minister OF war. and Huerta, might
bring Banquet to the front in the
event of Huerta's fall, much as Huerta
rose on the collapse of the Madero
regime and the Felix Diaz movement.
The,South American mediators held
three sessions during the day and
night, announcing through Secretary
Bryan that General Huerta had desig-
mated ID. Emilio Rabasa. an eminent
Mexican jurist; Augustin Rodriguez,
and Luis Elguro as his delegates to
confer with the mediators.
In telegram to General Carranza,
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta. they withdrew
their invitation to him to send a per-
sonal representative to participate In
the mediation negotiations.
