Washington, June 11.--Otticials of
the Washington administration would
not comment tonight upon the action
OF the South American mediators in
refusing to wait longer for Carran-
Za's answer to their communication,
suggesting that constitutionalist rep
resentatives be sent to participate In
the Mexican peace conference at Nj
agara Falls. The publication by the
mediators of exchanges between them
and Carranza's agents and represent;
alton of ENJOYS is regarded as a fur
ther warning on Carranza that he is
beneath their dignity. 1t is generally
taken here to mean that the door to
nsasaiastsaasa;alselaset. ,on,tther eeEstitu
tionalists.
There are some who believe that ir
the event it is possible for Huerta
and the United States representatives
to agree on terms Of peace, the medi
alton conference might recess while
the American government sought to
bring about an agreement with the
revolutionary forces.
Bryan Is Satisfied.
Secretary Bryan, after conference
with the president and an exchange
of communications with the American
delegates at Niagara Falls, reiterated
that mediation was progressing sat
isfactorily." When the decision of the
mediators regarding Carranza came
Bryan said:
"There is nothing for me to say
about it."
Rafael Zubaran, confidential agent
of Carranza here, expressed surprise
when he learned Of the mediators' ac
| tiOn before receiving word from him
regarding Carranza's intention.
Rebels More Active.
In dismissing the idea of participa'
ton in mediation, some of Carran'
zas agents declared the campaign
against Huerta will be continued will,
increased activity. 1t is predicted
that the constitutionalists will be
training guns on Mexico City before
many weeks.
Arms For Carranza.
Arms and ammunition for CarranZa
aboard the steamer Antilla, now al
Tampico, probably will be unloaded
tomorrow. AS far as was learned
this government will take no steps to
prevent the unloading. The appre
hension of Funston over rumors of a
possible federal advance upon the
American outposts at Vera Cruz has
become matter of grave concern to
the war department officials. General
anxiety in increased by knowledge
that a strong rebel force is operating
at Vera Cruz, planning to destroy the
railway between Vera Cruz and Mex
leo City and to prevent the flight of
Huerta and his cabinet from the cap
ital in the event the rebels occupy
the capital.
