AMERICANS OFFER
COMPLETE PLAN
Difference Between 1t and Mex
lean Proposal Slight.
NO OBSTACLE TO MEDIATION
Antilla Incident Not Allowed To In
terrupt Negotiations-Media-
tors To Publish Core
spondence.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-The United
States Government, through Justice
Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman,
presented to the three South Amerl-
can .nediators complete plan for the
pacifcation of Mexico. 1t is the same
in p,;nciple as that presented by tue
mediators and already agreed to by
the Huerta Government. 1t con-
templates establishment at the earliest
date practicable of new provisional
government in Mexico City, which
would conduct general elections for
permanent government.
The plan, writtens by the American
delegates after consultation with the
Washington Government, is brief and
includes several counter propositions
of which the Huerta delegates will be
advised tomorrow.
From the mediators themselves 1t
became known that the differences in
the two plans are slight.
Gives Rebels Voice In Cabinet.
The new Provisional President
would name his own Cabinet, but men
virtually selected here would be
chosen by him. Constitutionallsts
would have a voice in the formation
of this Cabinet, as at least two of their
party would be named.
The new government Would be given
formal recognition by the United
States and thus be enabled to float
loans and rehabilitate Mexico's
finances.
Already there is talk of 100000.
900 loan to cover the multitude OF obi
cations arising out of four years OF al
most incessant revolution.
Little work would remain for the
mediation conference if the Constitu.
tionalists accepted the principle of the
plan already under consideration.
The Mexican delegation made pub
lie extracts from their note to the
mediators, which brought about the
request to the American Government
for a declaration of its Interpretation
of the armistice and its relation to the
Antilla shipment of arms. The extract
is as follows:
According to news published in the
press an hour after the Antilla had
been cleared without difficulty by the
fiscal authorities of New York, said
authorities received the general order
issued by the Washington Govern.
ment forbidding the shipment of arms
to Mexican ports. This order shows
that it is the intention of said Govern.
ment to show no preference for either
of the combatants in Mexico and it is
natural to suppose that in the same
spirit it will consider it opportune to
give the necessary orders to the
American navy forces to prevent the
unloading of the war material in
Tampico unless it is thought prefer
able that the Mexican gunboats detain
the vessel and seize the contraband of
war. In this last case, the American
Government must not consider the act
as hostile to the American nation, as
the Mexican delegation places on rec
ord its governments most earnest de-
sire to avoid any incident which may
disturb the peace negotiations"

officer, was stationed on the roof of
the Terminal Hotel soon after the land
Ing of the marines. He established a
signal station there and personally day
and night maintained communication
between the troops and the ships. At

One man was killed and three wounded
at his side during the two days fight
ing. He showed extraordinary heroism
and striking courage and maintained
his station in the highest degree of
efficiency.
According to the report of Admiral
Fletcher it was largely through the
work of Ensign Mcdonnell that all of
the signals between the men on shore
and the ships were handled so quickly
and satisfactorily.

on the roof of the Postoffice on the
southern end and was under continu-
Gus and heavy fire on April 81. Poin-

and nights and showed no fatigue, F"

Adobe house. an acequia which
crawled lazily through the business
section and bad men with guns ruled
the border town and life was not worth
the taking in those days.
Returning to FL PasO after % years,
the Texas newspaper man has nothing
but praise for the city that builded
itself on the border. He says that this
city is one Of tie wonders Of the south
and one that Will figure largely in the
affairs Of the state in future years

every newspaper man, politician and
prominent man in Texas. is the pOliti
cal writer on the Fort Worth Record
He is on the most friendly terms with
every big man in Texas and talks with
Bailey, COlquitt and Ferguson as he
gerald never threw a friend, the news
paper clan declare, and he never pulled
a single stunt during his long career
that would put the other man in the
hole on a story. He claims the credit
OF discovering c. c. Mcdonald. for
which FL Paso owes him a vote OF
thanks. and has watched Ferguson
come up from a farmer boy to a gov
ernor. He says Ferguson is genuine;
that he has the goods. and that he will
make Texas a first rate governor.
