A B C GROUP HAS PLAN.
VIII Propose Candidate aud End
Conference 10 Not Accepted.

BIZ a stat Correspondent Of THE SuN.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 1.-THE at
titude of the Mexican delegates at the
mediation conference toward tho Con-
stitutionalists and the reasons which
have caused them to reject definitely
the candidates proposed by the United
States for the provisional Government
of Mexico were definitely explained to-
night In a statement issue by Senior
delegation.
Most OF the arguments therein con-
tanned have already been put in writing
and transmitted to Justice Lamar and
Frederick W. Lehman, the United
States delegates. Gen. Huerta's repre-
sentativcs explain why they have con-
stantly opposed the appointment Of a
Constituencies leader and the reasons
which caused them to reject the can
didates suggested by the American dele
gates.
The statement explains that in Latin
American countries the influence over
elections OF the Government in power
is tremendous and that 1t is therefore
vital that the provisional Government
have at it's head n neutral provisional
President. The rejection of such Il gov
eminent. they assert practically
amounts to abetting fraud and violence
at the election.
1t is known that the mediators are T.
entire sympathy with the MeXcans in
their demand for a neutral provisional
President. The prevailing opinion Is
that the last word now rests with Pres
dent Wilson, and II the attitude of the
Washington Government Is not changed
within the next forty eight hours the
conference will come to a sudden end.
| Huerta Delegates Explain.
Senior Rabasa's statement follows.
There Is no reason for further
| concealment of the difference which
has arisen between the American
and Mexican delegations, to which
the press has already referred, over
the provisional government for
Mexico which Is at present under
consideration.

posing the creation of bureau OF psy-

Representative Roberts of Nevada. Mr.,

BeginninH of Split.

The chief significance OF the row be-
tween Carranza and Villa and the formers
backdown lies in the fact that IL has con-
iirmed the impression that has prevailed
here that villa IL the real force in the
rebel movement. While the present trouble
has been smoothed over II probably is only
the beginning of a split between the first
chief and his military leader. Persons in
Washington familiar with the Mexican
situation assert that II the Constitu-
tionalist forces march VIGOROUSLY into
Mexico city Carranza will find himself
pushed aside and the real power placed
in the hands of villa and his friends
There have been suspicious for several
weeks that the United States would not be
averse to villa assuming rection OF the
Constitutionalist movement in northern
Mexico. but 1t is acknowledged that there
would be cmbarrassments from such a
course. Villas record as a bandit and
murderer would be lard for the United
States to accept and there IL doubt
whether Great Britain ever would recog-
nize a villa government at Mexico city.
at least not until full reparation had been
made for the death of Benton. With
villa in sole control the Constituencies
movement also would he robbed OF its
moral pretexts, and the United States
would find 1t more difficut to explain an
alliance with him.
Yet the belief Is strong in Washington
that the United states will be willing to
accept such a situation II Carranza con-

The Generals called upon Carranza and
informed him OF their position. At this
point in the Consul's report chronology Is
left off and the statement Is made that
soon after the conference OF the Generals
villa left to assume command mt Zacatc-
cas-. the scene Of the recent Constitutional
list defeat. The Consul gave no irtimation
as to the grace with which Carranza had
yielded.
The belief in the minds of some of those
who have read the report is that Carranza
was forced into reversing himself through
the realization that villa was actually in
control of the army and that the probable
ity existed that he would assume open
command IL he we're opposed. Consul
Edwards stated with much defnlteness
that no further doubt existed that villa
would remain in undlsturbed command Of

lie expressed the conviction tat the in
cident was closed for the present at
least and seemed to believe that the better
understanding Of his position which had
been forced upon Carranza would cause
him to adopt a more satisfactory attitude
In future dealings with villa.
The belief here. based upon the infor-
nation in possession of the State Depart
ment. is that there was an actual mutiny
of the army Generals against Carransa
and that the prestige of the first chief has
been badly damaged by the incident. The
developments OF the last two days have
established beyond doubt that the Consti'

WASHINGTON. June 17.--Secretary OF
State Bryan received late his afternoon
despatch from Consul Edwards at FL
Paso that the split between Carranza and
villa had been patched up and that via
had left for Zacatecas to assume command
Of the rebel advance on Mexico city.
Consul Edwards reported that the tense
would not affect the progress IF the Con-
advance OF its armies.
According to the Consuis report. the
sending Of villa to the front and the with
drawai Of his resignation were accom-
pl!shed through the virtual coercion OF
Gen. Carranzs by the high officers OF his
army. including acting Minister or war
Gen. Felipe Angeles. II was the announce

Elegant Home Of MIR. and Mrs. L. A.
Hamilton Burned to Ground With
Nearly All Its Contents.

The elegant ewshome OF Mr., and
Mrs. L. A. Hamilton on Lamar street
near the East Side school. was burned
to the ground at $3.50 this morning.
The house was a total loss and only
a few pieces of furniture we're saved.
The fire originated on the second
floor, but how II caught Is not known.
There was no one in the house at the
time and the fire had gained great
Roadway before the alarm was ever
turned in. Mr.. Hamilton had left the
house only a short time before and
had gone to the station to take the
train for Houston to join his wife and
baby. He estimates his loss at s12..
900. which was only partially covered
by insurance.
The fremen of both companies re-
sponded promptly when the alarm
was finally turned in, but as has been
the case with several residence fires
during the past few months, had great
